On July 30, 1865, a group of
Christian settlers in New Ulm gathered to discuss beginning a
congregation and on August 17th of that year they incorporated
"The Evangelical Lutheran Reformed St. Paul's Congregation
in New Ulm, MN". Through
the past 140 years St. Paul's experienced many challenges, but
God greatly blessed our congregation.
This summer and fall we will honor
and thank God by looking back at God's many blessings. We
will also be looking forward to and seizing opportunities to
share his love with our community and elsewhere.
The 140th celebration will include
some historical displays, fellowship times, Bible studies, a
commemorative Christmas ornament, school activities, community
outreach efforts, a special Parish Center thank offering, and
special worship services at regularly scheduled times.
Services included brief
dramatic presentations, portions of services both in German and
English, a 140th anniversary choir and band, school children,
teens, and other features.
