Poetic Obituaries: [John M.] Lewis led the effort

to build the church's education building next to the sanctuary in 1972. Later, the church named it after him.

After the death of his wife, Jean, in 1985, Lewis continued to preach, write poetry and paint in watercolor, returning to the church he served as a rank-and-file member.
