We are pleased to be able to offer you actual recordings from 1973 where Rev Perry recounts  some of the events from those times.

Anoter feature of the web site: Recollections.  These are recaps of events that happened at your church or at a church event where Rev Perry played a role.  There is a new Recollection from October, 1968. When can we add yours?
