The Centennial time capsule
was placed in the grounds of the First Christian Church, in Rensselaer,
IN, on October 11th, 1987. It is located on the south side of the building,
near to the foundation stone. The foundation stone indicates that the church
building was built as the First Church of Christ, in 1905.

As side note, whilst visiting
this church, I saw a bride and some gentlemen all dressed up, with a photographer.
She was wearing a wedding dress, they were in suits. There was not many
vehicles in the parking lot, so I assume there was no wedding on, maybe
it was a photo shoot, not sure.
