(By Everett Brail, III, The Newkirk Herald Journal, 2/6/2023) Excerpt: First Presbyterian Church, located at Eighth and Walnut, has proudly served the church community for more than a century. Unfortunately, they recently closed their doors due to a dwindling congregation. New life is being breathed into the structure, however as a new ministry has begun holding services, and seeks to reach out Newkirk’s younger generations.
