NOVEMBER HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS


1973 Calvary Bible Church burned (Grace Lutheran site at Illinois and Dechman)
1982    Peace Chapel arrived from Wisconsin
1982 Brotherhood of St. John, Hartsburg, installed new roof on Peace Chapel
1985 Peace had Chili Supper/Thanksgiving Service with Northwest United Methodist
1989 Pastor Bengston installed as Pastor of Peace
1993 Pulpit exchange for Grace Lutheran and Peace Lutheran at AM service and joint potluck and evening Thanksgiving service
     
It was also in November that a Wicks Opus 5346 Organ was installed at Grace on Arcadia.  As we celebrate Thanksgiving let us give thanks for our facilities and organs that help to enhance our worship experiences. We also need to give thanks for our clergy, who strengthen our spiritual lives. As we participate in our Thanksgiving service, let us remember our first Thanksgiving service together in 1993.

May we always remember to give thanks for our

opportunities to worship our God.
