The History of Our Church
|
|
A history book about the
First 100 years of First Lutheran Church
has been printed!
If you would like a copy please contact the church office. To help cover the cost of printing we are asking $5.00 per book.
You can also view the book online in PDF Format:
1900-1925, 1925-1950, 1950-1975, 1975-2000,
the Construction of our new Church
and additional information.
These are rather large files and may take a minute or two
to load onto your computer.
The PDF files are perhaps the best way to view (and to print) these pages, however, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader to do so. The Reader is free and easy to install, so if you do not have it already - click here to download. The process can take 20-30 minutes and only needs to be done once. An important point to watch is the file folder where the reader is installed.
