Churches celebrate friendship on 100th anniversary fire
One hundred years after a fire left Christ Episcopal Church without a home, Immanuel Lutheran Church welcomed the congregation to worship. To mark a century of cooperation, the two churches host a joint service at Emmanuel Lutheran at 10 30 a m on Sunday with a reception at Christ Episcopal after. Reverend Chad Slater notes he also serves as Emmanuel Lutheran’s vice pastor due to the lack of full time clergy. Christmas Day 1919 marks the origin of this friendship.
