Dated inclusively from 1933-1993, this newsletter untitled until 1974 when it became the First Press, is contained within twenty-seven volumes. Of particular interest are three church manuals, 1841, 1868, and 1872, which list members, officers and clergy, along with Articles of Faith (1841, 1872) and a brief church history (1872 only).
