Book excerpt: In 2016, St. John's Episcopal Church in Grand Haven, MI, celebrated its 150th Anniversary. As the final event of that celebratory year, the Vestry commissioned a new Parish History to be written, one that would update the excellent history written fifty years ago by parishioner Olive Harbeck. A team of parishioners got to work organizing the archives. An open call was made for an author to turn all the notes into a manuscript. Parishioner Alicia Hager stepped forward, with editing assistance from long-time parishioners Jackie Berg and Rick Parks. Together, they produced this small book, recounting the story of a community that continued to rise to challenges and sought to spread God's kingdom in the Episcopal tradition anew in each generation.
