Church Receives Grant The First Presbyterian Church of Nichols has been awarded a challenge grant from the Mildred Faulkner Truman Foundation to repair the roof and steeple of the church. The facility is used by many organizations in the community and surrounding area. With heavy rains experienced this past year, leaks in the roof have developed and are in need of repair. Some of the leaking has occurred as a result of repairs needed to the steeple. The steeple is a local landmark (since 1865) and welcoming symbol to our community. Thanks to the Mildred Faulkner Truman Foundation for their help so that the steeple may remain a part of the landscape in our community
