The history committee is proud of the two brand-new church history booklets that are now available.
Our First 50 Years Serving Our Lord:
Ed Vavra researched and wrote this 42-page in-depth look at the earliest history of our church, from how conditions in Bohemia & Moravia were such that our early immigrants sought religious freedom in the United States, their journey, how our church was established, and the history of Rev. Frantisek Kun, how he came to our church, and became a missionary to many immigrant groups in the Midwest, founding many churches. The booklet helps us understand why our little church was so important in those early days and is a very good read.
150 Years Serving Our Lord:
This 36-page update history focuses on how music has played an important role through our church history, as well as church organization history (such as the women's and youth groups), biographies of pastors that have served since the 1950s, and greetings from former pastors.
$3.00 each or 2 for $5.00
