Pioneers’ descendents celebrate restoration of old Mist Church
The restoration of the Mist
Church was celebrated with a
public gathering last Sunday,
November 18. Historical church
and Nehalem Valley artifacts
were on display and the
church’s original pump organ
was returned for the event.
Built in 1892 by the Swedish
Evangelical Lutheran Church,
Bethlehem Congregation, Mist
Church is one of the oldest
buildings in the area.
The church restoration has
taken more than four years of
dedicated work by volunteers
with the Mist-Birkenfeld Histori
cal Society. It also benefited
from an Eagle Scout project or
ganized by Anthony Morrow of
Vernonia.
According to everyone in
volved, the restored church is
a “beautiful place for quiet con
templation, celebration and
worship.”
For more information, call
Sheila Sullivan at 503-728-
2196.
