Earlier this month I stopped on a Tuesday evening to take some pictures of the old Peace Lutheran church and by Friday that week, the old red brick church was torn down so it is no longer standing under the Milky Way. But memories of the church will still twinkle, like the stars, in the minds of former parishioners and area residents who drove by the church.
No Longer Under the Milky Way
Last Sunday, a local rural church celebrated 125 years, and while a congregation may continue, their building may not; sometimes due to fire, storm damage or age. The ‘Old Red Brick Church’, as known by the locals, is old and it is feeling its 109 years. The congregation have deemed the building unsafe and unusable and the cost to repair is beyond the means of the members so they voted to ‘deconstruct’ the local landmark.
Old Red Too Old
