In spite of the cold and snow block
AIDED condition of the streets there
was good attendance at both morn
ing and evening services on the oc-
casion of the reopening of the Con-
gregational church last Sunday. The
auditorium had been closed for four
weeks to paint and decorate the walls
and to put in new lighting fixtures.
A number of people and organiza-
tons had hand in all the improve
ments which were made. The larg-
est task of all was undertaken by
the Priscilla club, composed of young
women and girls, that of interior
painting and decorating. This con-
tkact was given to Steece and Steece
of Alexandria, who did an excellent
piece of work, finishing the job to the
satisfaction of the committee and al
so in a manner to meet the approval
of the entire church and constituency.
The church is indebted to the Glen
wood Lumber Co. and to Mr.. Dahl
for donating enough lumber to build
the scafolding for the painting job
which is greatly appreciated. The
men and friends of the church donat-
ed their services in putting up the
scaffold. The church trustees then
contracted with Mr.. Armstrong to
replace the old lighting system with
a complete new set of fixtures. The
proceeds of the mems supper last
Thursday evening will be applied on
the relighting of the church. Last
but not least, new curtain for the
choir loft was purchased jointly by
the Sunshine club and the Christian
Ehdeavor society. The Priscilla
club also did the work of cleaning. |
the church after the painting job was
done. All told the church certainly |
presented a pleasing appearance for
he services last Sunday. The house
