Some of us, long since gone from this church geographically, have true sentiment that at least this building and property continue to enrich lives and serve its community. I remember when we built this new and magnificent house of worship. I remember the old brick church building in downtown Kent. My dad was an Elder and served on the building committee. My grandmother brought a lot of history and significance to this church. Her Great-Grandfather, George F. Whitworth, organized and founded this church. I was baptized in this sanctuary. I got married in this sanctuary. My older sister was memorialized in this sanctuary. Anyone can tell I have a fondness for Kent First Pres. I pray the Seattle Presbytery and the community continue its legacy of service
