Local M. E. Church Welcomes Move After Minister Rumohr
Rev. Melvin Rumohr delivered his final sermon of the year and left for Coeur d Alene where the conference will be held. He asked to be relieved to allow another minister to continue work in Leavenworth. Since his arrival two and a half years ago the church has built two buildings valued at about $2000 each and reduced debt to under $100 at each site. Membership grew from fifteen to ninety to one hundred with twenty five transfers. A Sunday school expanded to about one hundred weekly and an Epworth League formed with forty members. Pastoral support rose by $200 this year with plans for further increases. Fivefold attendance increase contrasted with his first Sunday.
