Church to mark 100 years

He was a history buff and he like drama so he wrote this skit. We thought we'd kind of follow along the path of what we did 10 years ago. Wednesday is a significant day in the life of the Bethany Lutheran Church in Mohawk. via The Daily Mining Gazette

[John E Saari]

John Timonen was my grandfather. I remember going with him to start the fire in the basement on cold Sunday mornings in the winter in the 30's.
I was born in his house to his daughter, Hulda Marie Saari, my father John O Saari's wife.
He like his Peerless chewing tobacco.
He was a God fearing man and I look forward to seeing him in the New Jerusalem (heaven).
May God bless those twice born believers in Christ Jesus our Lord who attend services at the church building.
