Church Dedications

Note: Christian Science churches are dedicated only when free from debt.

Topeka, Kansas (First Church).

Dedication services for First Church of Christ, Scientist, Topeka, were held on Sunday, June 30, 1946, in the morning and evening in the impressive structure on the northwest corner of Huntoon Street and Western Avenue.

Historical reminiscences were read at the services by the First Reader. In March, 1890, a small group of Christian Scientists in Topeka organized a society. A charter was secured on May 8. 1896, when services were held in a room on the second floor of a hall at 210 West Sixth Street. The members furnished the room, equipping it with chairs and a small center table for a pulpit. Ever since that beginning of a Christian Science organization in Topeka there has always been a correspondingly active and growing Sunday School.
