The First Presbyterian Church of Yellow Springs, which has been struggling financially and identity-wise, now has a new problem: deflecting rumors that it is about to go under.
“What?” session member Kay Reimers screamed into the phone when I told her about the word around town, only to later admit that she had heard the rumors herself. “These rumors are the last thing we need!”
“The seniors have their eyes on the church as a possible new center,” I told her.
“Where did you get that?” she asked.
I told her I had to protect my sources, but we both agreed that the rumors are emanating from the Senior Center.
Later Church Elder Walter Rhodes would tell me that another long-time church member, who will remain unnamed lest she have a heart attack, had her suspicions. All fingers are now pointing to a senior villager who mysteriously showed up at the Miami Presbytery while Reimers happened to be there to seek financial advice for the church.
