First Church: Mount Prospect Free Mission Church, Jericho, 1855
The first church in Sugar Grove Township was erected at Jericho in 1855. It was known as the Mount Prospect Free Mission Church. The Plaque commemorating the church is displayed at the Jericho Cemetery and was dedicated in memory of Alice Kern Harker, 1899 - 1979. "Construction of the first church building was begun in May of 1855 on Mighell Road, one mile south of Jericho road, adjacent to the Jericho Cemetery. The Mount Prospect Free Mission Church was finished and dedicated the following winter. Subscriptions by congregation members provided the funding for the structure, with Deacon Reuben Johnson providing the balance needed to complete the church. The final use for the church was solely for funeral services." "JERICHO: The Little White Church on the Hilltop" ~Poem by Lydia > Todd As I sit in the early twilight And list to the whip-poor-will, My thoughts go back to my childhood And the little white church on the hill. It stands there in my memory As it stood in the days so bright, And it was there in my early Childhood That I first saw God's pure light. My mother, there she would lead us My brothers and sisters all, To the little white church on the hilltop Where we met friends, neighbors and all. The little church of Jericho is not there now at all But by its site in the grave yard, Where the grass grows green and the trees grow tall Lies my mother, father and their childre And the friend and neighbors all. And when Gabriel sounds his trumpet And I answer to the final call, My prayer is that I meet my mother, father, Brothers, sisters, husband, children and all. Lydia L.

So in 1892 our present organization, The Ladies Church Social Society, was organized. At the present time, this organization has seventy active members, three of whom are charter members. In more recent years another Ladies society has developed which has taken the place of the old Ladies Aid. It is known as The Friendship Bible Class. This society, together with the L.C.S.S. has done many fine things, financially and other wise, for the church. A third ladies organization, The Standard Bible Class, has also been very active in church activities in recent years.
