Lincoln’s birthday is approaching!

On Friday, Feb. 12, we will be celebrating the anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s birth! The Congregation’s children’s Web site, WoodsUp.com, is celebrating this special day!

Our 16th president is remembered as a great leader during a tumultuous time in our nation’s history. But before his days in Washington, D.C., Lincoln lived a few years in the Hoosier state. Lincoln, a fine storyteller, often shared memories of his life in Indiana. Some of these stories were about his education (or lack of formal education), a horse that kicked him, and a flatboat trip to New Orleans.
