Has anyone here ever taken it upon themselves to write a history of their congregation? If so, any advice for those who might wish to do the same?

Dr. David Calhoun of Covenant Sem. makes all of his students studying for the pastorate write a history of their denomination. I, being a Baptist, would never try to write it all out. How can you cover all the history from John the Baptist to John Piper? There's just too much!

Bob, I thought you were a baptisterian or a presbytist. Anyways, Presbyterian history goes back quite a ways further but...ah, well, that's another thread! 
This is an example of a congregational history that I read not long ago. I think it is immensely valuable to put into writing "from whence we came."
