Rev H L Engel Honored on 25th Anniversary
The Rev H L Engel was honored by Trinity Lutheran Church on his 25th anniversary as pastor with a reception after a special evening service. He came to Saline in 1939 from Chesaning to lead the parish, and under his tenure the congregation grew from about 300 communicants to over 500. The church expanded with an organ room, interior remodeling, and a new multi purpose building. Engel recalled the community’s shift from a German language era to a progressive town with industry and youth. He was born in McMillen Wisconsin and raised in Lake Benton Minnesota, educated at Dr Martin Luther College and Northwestern College, and served prior in Chesaning before Saline.
