The Episcopal Church of Saint John the Baptist,
Battle Creek
was built in 1934 by local laborers who used stones from farmers’ fields in the vicinity surrounding the church property. In 2003 a new fellowship hall, built of similar stone, was dedicated and named after the longtime rector, the Rev. Canon Dr. J. Howard Rhys. A plaque in the hall reads: “Rhys Hall: With loving gratitude and appreciation, we the members of St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church do dedicate this fellowship hall to the Rev. Canon J. Howard Rhys for 50 years of spiritual leadership, inspiration and commitment as priest in charge.
