Tappahannock Presbyterian Church Raises Steeple!

A new landmark will be greeting travelers heading east into Tappahannock, Virginia. Wednesday, March 19th, the new Presbyterian Church on Route 360 East at the Kino Road insersection crowned the church with a white 39-foot steeple.

The glass front says the Spirit of Christ is visible to all people." He carried the cross to the top and helped to install it.
