Brief History

50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. William Bersch.
- Married in 1922
- Lived at 9703 240th Place SW, Edmonds, WA

During building program one night as the cement forms were being readied for cement pouring the following day, the men found they were one man short. . Across the field out of the South woods came a strong young fellow of about 20 years old who offered his services for the next few hours. He helped accomplish what needed to be done and was on his way. It was never found out from where he came, but surely he was sent by the Lord.
Bob Ryan found himself unemployed for a part of this time so he was hired and worked full time with the Pastor and then others as they came after work and on week-ends, many nights working into the wee hours of the morning.
Sunday services were held in the auditorium of Firdale Village during much of this time of transition.
School was held in the basement of Grace Lutheran Church, Seattle, WA until the school room was ready for occupency in January of 1969.
First church service held in parish hall on Christmas Eve of 1967. (once in a while mice would attend too)
Organ was located on the wall and in the area where the table cupboard ow is with the blower installed thru the wall into the cleaning closet.
Services held in Parish Hall until the day of church dedication.

TURKEYS

   by Martin Baur

I know that everyone likes turkey for Thanksgiving.
I especially like the drumstick. It is my favorite.
The domestic turkey is a big and plump bird with a big tail full of feathers.
They not only have a lot of feathers, but they also have a lot of meat and that's why I like turkey for Thanksgiving.

Marty would have been 9 years old.
