"W e hope we are newly upholstered by February 23, 1997 because that is the 50th anniversary of when the first sermon in Morrow County was preached to a group of German Lutherans in the Lexington area. Your support is sorely needed," added Hoobing.

Stan Hoobing. Sunday, March 19 the Lutherans will observe Lenten with a Holy Communion at 9 a.m. at Valby and 11 a.m. at Hope. Children will have Sun day school during the worship hour.
