First Presbyterian Church welcomes Attorney General Loretta Lynch
Attorney General Asks, ‘How Have You Used Your Years?’
First Presbyterian Church welcomed back a special guest this past weekend. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who began attending the church just after Sept. 11, 2001, returned on Sunday to offer remarks as part of the church’s Sept. 11 remembrance service.
This service also celebrated new beginnings, including the baptism of a baby and the blessing over children, educators and the Sunday school teachers.
Lynch spoke about her personal experience attending First Presbyterian Church. “I began attending First Church shortly after 9/11. I certainly knew of First Church prior to that. I worked with Reverend Paul [Smith] on a committee. My friends Jim Johnson and Tanya Hill both attended and spoke highly of the warmth to be found here. I began attending after 9/11 because I was looking for the comfort and support of a community of faith.
