St Mark's Lutheran Plans New Church Expansion
St Mark's Lutheran church in Cedar Rapids launches a building fund with pledges totaling 20000 expected today at the eleven o'clock service. The project aims to replace the Saron church name with St Mark's and to construct a modern stone building on First avenue and Twenty first street with seating for over 300 and space for 150 Sunday school children. The campaign targets 45000 within two years, with 60000 estimated for grounds and edifice and funds from members, former members, and mortgage if needed. The site is an L shaped acre with a 336 foot front on Twenty first street and a 100 to 200 foot depth. Architectural work is by Thorwald Thorson of Forest City Iowa. The congregation has worshiped since 1891 and currently reports 250 communicant members and 90 children members.
