THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CONGREGATION
The annual meeting of X'riedens Congregation
will be held on Wednesday, January T; at g:00
o'block P. M. Preceding the meeting, at 6:80 p.M.,
the members of the Women's Guild will serve a
X'ellowship meal at a cost of g1!00 per Berson. In
order that our women may know for how many to
prepare it is quite important that all make reservations, not later than Monday, January 5.
The annual meeting this year promises to be
very important inasmuch as matters will come
up for consideration which should claim the attention of every individual member of the church.
At the annual meeting a year ago the Church
Council was authorized to appoint a committee to
make recornmendations for necessar.y improvements of the church plant. This committee will be
prepared to submit a detailed report. Besides, it.
will devolve upon the congregation to elect four
members to serve on the Church Council. It
should be interesting to our members to learn that
a change will be made in the mode .of electing
these members. The Nominating Cornmittee, appointed by the Church Council, will submit the
names of six candidates of which four are to be
elected. Thus, the members of the congregation
will be granted the privilege of exercising their
personal choice of the candidates. Naturally, nominations may also be made from the floor.
Inasmuch as it may be possible that many of
bur members may not be personally acquainted
with the candidates, we herewith submit the
names with brief statements relative to their quali
flcations for membership on the Church bouncil.
We are listing them alphabetically:
Mr, Geo. F. Buecltler, has been a member of
Friedens Church over many years. He with his
entiie family are interested members of Friedens
Church and are to be found in attendance at the
worship services wellnigh every Sunday of the
year.
. Mr. Eayrnond, Ebeler is one of the younger members of Friedens Church, who is a veteran of
World War II, $rho, with his wife Darleen. nee
Lehde, is a regular interested attendant at divine
worship.
Mr. M,atthew Eilerts is generally known among
our members, having served as usher over a period
of years and consequently may be found at his
post of duty wellnigh every Sunday;
Mr. Peul, Schinke has been connected $rlth
n'riedens Church over a period of many years ahd
has given evidence of real interest in the development of the church and likewise, with his wife
and son, is a regular worshiper in the sanctuary
and is also a member of tr riedens Choir.
Mr. Albert Schlueter has served one term as a
member of the Church Council and is eligible for
a second term, Thus he is perhaps favorably
known to our members and he likewise, with his
wife, worships regularly in the Sunday services.
Mr. Geo. W. Btei,nkam^phas been connected with
Friedens Church since his birth. He has at all
times given evidence of great loyalty to the
church, having previously served as a member of
the Church Cguncil and is now willing to again
serve The congregation. He likewise is a faithful
worshiper in the sanctuary.
Christmas
at Our House
Always the Christian people look toward Christmas, the birthday of the Christ-child, with deep
interest and sincere devo'tion. Always it is an
occasion for great rejoicing to be reminded anew
that "God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on
Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
During the Advent season on every Sunday our
attention was directed toward the spiritual significance of Christmas. We were urged to Brepare
our hearts for the indwelling of the Christ.chikl
through the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the
sovereign of our souls, to influence us in our
thoughts and emotions to prove ourselves children_
of God and followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
to choose that way of life which is acceBtable to
God. $pecial emphasis was placed upon the need
of earnest and sincere repentance in order that our
hearts might be cleansed frorn all unworthy and
sinful thoughts, to become a suitable dwelling
place for the Saviour of the world. Whether or
not we have received real Christmas blessings
depends much how well prepared w-e were to have
the Christ-child born again in our hearts.
The observanceof the festival was ushered in on
Sunday afternoon, Dec 21, when the litile children
of the Church school, the Nursery, Beginners and
Primary departments, assembled in the sanctuary
under the light of the Christmas tree, to.pay
their childlike tribute to the meaning of the birth
of the Chr,ist-chilal'for them, with their singing
of the Christmas carols, the recitations and the
dramatization of the Nativity, All were alelighteat

with the beautiful Christmas story which was related so effectively by Miss Esther Hoff. The
service received an added emphasis by the presence of the little boys and girls who constitute
the Sunday school of Fellowship Center, who
with the pastor of X'ellowship Center, the Rev.
Warren Hilflker, had been invited by the Goodfellows' class of the Senior department, to receive
inspiration from the program. Later this group
was served with refreshments and made happy
with Christmas gifts in the Church School Auditorium.
Following the service of the children of these
departments were invited to the Church school hall
to receive their gifts and to greet th.e jovial
Santa Claus, who by his aBpearance made the
occasion complete in joy and happiness.
At 7:30 on the same day, the remaining departments of the Church school with many visitors
met in the sanctuary to witness the podrayal of
the Christmas story with slides of beautiful views
thrown on the screen. Departments of the Church
school, as well as organizations of the church,
offered White Gifts for the causes of Christian
lienevolence and eharity.
On Christmas Eve at 7:00 o'clock, many groups
of young Beople again joined the carolers to sing
in the streets. At 10: 45 o'clock, the Midnight
Christmas Service was held with a candlelight
procession by the Choir, and with many worshipers in the sanctuary, to honor the Christ-child
at a time so neaJ' to the hour when the Christchild was born, X"ollowing the midnight service
the Lord's Supper was celebraterl with many in
attendance.
On Christmas Day at 10:00 o'clock the second
Christmas service was held which was attended
largely by members, friends and visitors who
could not be in attendance at the midnight service.
Again the worshipers had an opportunity to celebrate the Lord's Supper.
l'he special Christlnas offering received was
dedicated to Caroline Mission and X'ellowship Cen. ter.
During the Christmas season the church sanctuary presented a beautiful appearance with deeora.
tions provided by the Special Days Committee of
the Church School, represented by Lois Kroepel,
Ronald Baum and Ralph Krohne. We thank them
for the attractive background for worship.
ANI\U A L R E P O R T S
Friedens
Choir
Having come to the close of a successful season,
the Choir wdlcomes the opportunity to report their
activities throughout the past ygar. Unlike most
organizations, the Choir is on display to all members of the congregation through their service to
the Church on Sundays and on special occasions.
Our purpose is to encourage a love for good music
and to enhance and beautify the church Services
through song.
In addition to singing at church services the
Choir also endeavors,to further assist the Congregation by giving entertainments of a musical
nature.. This yea,r our projects were an Operetta
enlitled "Pickels" and an Organ Recital given to
dedicate the Memorial Organ Album. At this recital the Choir sang several numbeis and our
organist, Mr. Edward Sieckmann, as well as otr
former organist Mr. Carl Braun, completed the
program by playing musical numbers on the organ.
These plojects together with our participation
in the mass choir which sang for the Synod
meeting at the Kiel Auditorium, a song fest
given by Salvator Church in conjunction with
.Friedens and special songs at the Easter services
anO g0tn anniversary services made our seasoD
a very full one. We also made recor(lings of the
cantata "The Seven Last Words."
The social side of our organization was not
overlooked as a means of keeping our organization together as a happy unit. A dlnner party,
swim picnic, steak fry and family dinners at the
church helped relieve our routine of singing. It
was at one of the family dinners that we celebrated the 1Oth year of service at Friedens Church
of our organist Mr. Edward Sieckman.
Our equipment was not neglected. A donation of
new surplices by members of the congregation, togethel with new filing cabinets, additional coat
hangers, individual hangers for our robes, and a
rnirror, aided in keeping our equipment in good
condition.
Our membership swelled to 38 through the addition of Jean Strus, Jcan Freebersyser, Dorothy
Kraeger, Robert Rutrlkoetter and Paul Schlnke.
Also one of our former members who was on
leave of absence returned, namely Helen Press.
In closing I want to express to Mr. Sieckman,
the Choir's appreciation of his splendicl leadership,
lVe enJoy working with him.
Friedens
And so we close another successful year. We
hope to continue to grow thr.oughout the comirrg
year and gladly welcome anyone who loves rnuslc
and would like an opportunity to better serve
God through song.
Sincerely,
Dlmer F. Zi.eger, Pres. Friedens Choir

Church

It is usually difficult to make a yearly report
because the events which 'seemed so interesting
and vital at the time of their occurrence have
lost their appeal to those things which are happening NOW.
Our great objective is to develop lives which are
dedicated to the Chlist way of life. It is not always
easy to determine how far we succeed in this Burpose. However, the enthusiasm of our various
departments in carrying out their several service
projects is always a fair indicator that at least
one phase of our teaching has not gone amiss.
We follow with just mentioning a few of these
proJects.
The Beginners depaltment was able to buy a
treat of milk for some children at tr'ellowship
Center with their birthday money. Twenty-eight
children of the Primary department with nine
parents visited the Orphan Home and distributed
'eighty-three gifts.
The entire churcir school contributed three hundred pounds of clothing and
shoes to the World Service along with a substantial gift of money. One class in the Senior
department sends packages overseas quite regularly and the same class also gave an afghan to
Caroline Mission. Another class entertained the
children of the Evangelical Children,s Home here
at X"riedens. So the list grows, a living testimony
of Jesus' words, "Inasmuch as ye have done it
to the least of these my brethren, ye have done
it unto me."
We have also been recipients of many favors
and help from others. The Church Council had
some of the floors refinished in the school halls
and some kind young men refinished one in the
big hall. We were also Bermitted to share the
use of the mimeograph with other organizations.
One obliging member of the Council who is also
a calpenter gave us the large pieture frame which
\{as used so effectively in the Christmas program
last year.
Our teachers visited at other church schools
last year in order to become better acquainted
with programs which are being worked out elsewhere. About twelve teachers attended the leadership training course held at Trinity Church last
sBring.
The following changes in personnel .were made
in the course of the year. Mrs. Jane Sieckman,
Mr. Millard Randoll and Mr. Albert Schulze re-
Megseng€r
t
sigrred. Miss Betty Jean Qlrigley transferred from
the Junior to the Beginners Department. Mr.
Ben Brakensiek resigned as superintendent of
the Senior department and transferred to the
Intermediate department to become a teacher.
Miss Betty Borgelt became the superintendent of
the Junior department and Mr. George Hoffman
took Mr. Brakensiek's place in the Senior department. We were sorry to lose Mr. Ted. Wimmler
our Director of Religious Education when he accepted to become pastor of the E, and R. church
at Old Monroe.
Thus we reach the end of our year with a
Rally Day service in church and the reconsecration of teachers which is so meaningful to all
who are interested in litile children and youth.
We have done much, but we can also do more,
for God ahvays helps those who are willing and
eager to grow.
The Home
Depart_ment
. The Home department of the church school
under the leadership of Miss Amelia Lindemann
has 74 members and 6 workers, The offering for
the last church school year was 9b0.10, out of
which $2.88 was paid for their party held in
March.
They have a get-together in March when they
play games and have coffee and cake and a few
prizes. They meet every flrst Thursday of the
month at 11 A. M. with Rev. Paul press who
eiplains 4 or 5 lessons, which is very interesting.
We would like to have more members. If your
mother or any invalid or shut-in would like to
join the Horne Department, we will be glad to go
and visit them and bring them a book in which
they can read the lessons in their home.

The Women's
Guild
year
The
of 1947 has been a year of splendid
opportunity for the Women's Guild and as it
draws to a close, we are deeply grateful for the
many avenues through which Friedens women
are rendering service. Nowhere could we find
a group of women more interested and faithful,
and they have given an excellent.account of ther!selves in all departments of the work. This
spi|if of cooperation means reporis are being
made to the Regional and National offices which
reflect the sincerity and great effort which has
been put forth. X'inancially, we have shared resBonsibility for the Brogra.m of Women's work in
the denomination, by accepting and meeting our
challenge in full.
Benevolenceswere not overlooked, as on Easter
Monday we, together with the Sewing Circle,
Messcnger
visited the Good Sirmariton Home. The Evangelical Chiidren's Home wa3 the place of our
June meeting and subsLantial gifts were le{t at
each Home.
A word should be said about our excellent
Literature Department of which Mrs. Wm. Goedeke
is Chairman. This year through this department
a special effolt was made to increase the sale of
subscriptions for the denominational "Messenger'."
We feel this very flne magazine is worthy of increased circulation and to encourage interest the
Women's Guild subscribes for and makes six
copies of each issue available to anyone interested.
May Party, always an important event, was well
done by the Special Events Committee, headed
by Mrs. Vance Bruce, and when another event, in
the form of Homecoming and Community day
in October, came along we \vere a bit skeptical
of the outiome, and what a joy to be able to carry
through successfully. l\Irs. Helen Quigley and her
group arranged the program and it was tluly an
occasion as together 1ye stood in the church
sanctuary and rededicated. ourselves to service.
Here we must remember the Women's chorus,
who under the direction of Mrs.'Edward Sieckman
have made an outstanding contribution to our program.
During the prolonged anniversary period projects
'were numerous and all outstanding. Cooperation
seemed the keynote af,d our treasury looked
rather substantial as a result. The Sewing Circle
graciously relinquished their right to share in the
profit from the congregational dinner on Family
Niglrt. Our Bake SaIe, under the management
of Mrs. Frank Talleur was highly successful as
was the apple butter project, of which much has
already been said. Through the kindness of Mr.
Wm. Goedeke and Mrs. Roger Stoughton we saw
ourselves at v/ork, when the movie "Apple Butter
f ime at Friedens" was leleased for the flrst showing, on the occasion of our Christmas Party. Effort
and cooperation of so many for which we are
tirankful, enabled us to go beyond our planned
anniversary gift (tables) and we made an additionai contribution of $200.00to the anniversary
collection. This addition to the flnancial support
we customarily give to the church throughout the
This report would not be complete without a
special expression of grateful appreciation to our
pastor Dr. Paul Press, our Church Council President, Mr. Wm. Goedeke, and the entire Church
Council for their helBfulness and understanding
during this past year.
Truly this has been a great year foi' the Women's
Guild and with loyalty to our God and kinship in
a common cause we look ahead with renewed
spi.rit to 1948.

Friedene Youth Fellowship
During the past year, the Youth Fellowship had
a yery busy and a very happy year. The first big
event to take place was the instailation dinner
which was held at church on the 24th of January.
A very delicious meal was served us by the mothers of some of our members. Rev. Press was
called upon to install the newly elected officers,
Atter the supper a surprise edition of the "Jabberwacky" was distributed among the members. On
the 16th of March a "progressive dinner" was
held. We left immediately after church and finished our dinner about 6:30 P. M. I think all rilho
attended had a very nice time. As is the custom
the Youth Fellowship served a "tea" immediately
foll.owing the testimony service on the 30th of
March, On Good Friday evening the X'ellowship
dyed Easter eggs. On Easter Sunday we served
breakfast, which was attended by a great mapy
members of the church.
In May, the F ellowship was asked by the Goodfellows Class to help entertain the orphans from
the Orphans' Home. The children were brought
down to church by cars, which were escorted by
two motor patrolmen. The children vrere then
entertained by playing games, after which a very
delicious lunch was served.
In June, we again installed three more officers.
This time we had our installation dinner at the
Warwick Hotel.
The most interesting event of all was the trip
to Old Monroe, Mo. Rev. Wimmler invited the
Fellowship to spend a day with the young people
from his church. At 9:30 A. M. we left St. Louis
on the "Mark Twain Zepbyr," arriving at Old
Monroe about 10:30 A. M. We were met there by
a group from Rev. Wimmler's churah and were
taken to the church grounds. After church service we were served a very delicious dinner. I
have never seen so much food at one meal in all
my life, Around 5:00 P. M. we had.a wiener
roast. As usual, all good things must come to an
end, so we had to leave Old Monroe at 8:30 P. M.
The.train was very crowded, so we had to sit in
the baggage car. We then proceeded to sing all
the way hoee.

Our project for the year was the carnival, which
was held on the 26th of September. Although the
weather was rather bad, we did have a yery nice
crowd,
On the 9th of November we sponsored the
"X'estival of Lights" service. We had
as our guest
speaker the Rev. Nolte.
Our annual hayride was given on the 15th of
November, and was attended by a large number
of members, even though the weather was rather
cooI.
The ?th of December, 1947, the Youth Fellowship disbanded. This being due to the fact that
uo one seemed to be very interested in the work
of the organization, and that a new organization
was being formed by the younger members of
church.
In ciosing I would like to take this opportunity
to wish the younger members of church every
possible successin their new organization.

Mr. August Winter was so generally and favorably known in North St. Louis. He had many
friends who reacted so. favorably to the traits of
character with which he was endowed. He was
blessed with a disposition which attracted people

years he distinguished himself in musical circles.
Over a period of many years he was connected
with the Strassberger Conservatories, serving successfully as president.
He had been blessed with good health and even

to follow his pursuits in life with scarcely any
interruption, until the last few years of his life
when his beloved helpmeet was confined to her
home and bed with an illness which eventually
rendered her well-nigh helpless. With sacrificial
deyotion he waited uBon all of her needs, day and
night, and provided every comfort and convenience'for her until it pleased God to relieve'her
from her sufferings in July of this year. His
rnany attentions of care to her took their toll and

THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CONGREGATION
The annual meeting of the congregation was
held on the night of January 7 with 165 members
in attendance. Preceding the meeting the mem'
bers sat down to a delicious fellowship meal which
had been provided for them by the Women's Guiltl'
After an hour of Christian fellowship, the business
meeting was opened at 8 o'clock with the president, Mr. Wm. H. Goedeke, Presidjng.
The anhual reports of organizations had already
been publishecl in the January issue of the
Mossnrr-enn,so that the congrqgation concentrated
upon the annual reBort of the Bastor and the
financial reBorts of the congregation. By action
of the congregation, these reports are being pubAll of which
lished in this issue of the MEssDNaun.
l'eveal that the year 194? has been an exceptionally
good year for Friedens Church in every phase of
its large program as well as in the cooperation
and support of its members. Gratefully the .congregation looked back to the 90th anniversary of
the church which was observed with a rich program extending over ninety days, in which the
members of the church cooperated wholeheartedly.
The report of the committee on Planning and
hnprovements of the church plant called forth a
lengthy discussion in which the physical needs of
the church were given closest attention.
The following members of the congregation wele
elected to serve as members of the Church Council:
Geo. X'. Buechler, Matt. Eilerts, Paul Schinke and
Albert C. Schlueter. The retiring members of the
Church Council are Dr. Lester H. Jasper, Julius F.
Moeller and Walter Hoelscher, who were given a
vote of gratitude and appleciation for the services
rendered.
It v/as a vely good meeting in whichfuiuch interest was demonstrated in the work of the-church.
It was also voted to offer the pastor an increase in
salary for which he again expresses appreciation.
These words have a special signiflcance for us
as we are assembled tonight in the annual meeting of our congregation, As we Bause to let so
many events in our church life of the past year
appear before us in solemu perspective we recognize innumerable evidences of the outreachings of
God's divine grace toward us, resulting in benefits
and blessings which we shall never forget. In tlre
past year all.of the various and varied phases of
our church program revolved around the observance of the ninetieth anniversary of our church,
an event to which we sought f6 give special and
undivided attention, in order to give evidence of
our gratitude to God for having sustained and
used us for the advincement of the cause of truth
and righteousness.
The anniversary cpmmittee, which the Church
Council was authorized to appoint, by abtion of
the annual meeting of the congregation a year ago,
accepted its commission as a sacred trust and
labored diligeritly, systematically and conscientiously to prepare a progr&m commensurate with
the dignity of the event and worthy of its spiritual
significance for the church. The members placed
their deepest interest, their best efforts and their
unexcelled talents at the disposal of.the cause.
The committee reaBed its reward in the successful
manner in which the anniversary program could
be carried out. Its members merit the fullest commendation of the congregation.
The anniversary commiftee confronted the members of the church with a very definite test of
their loyalty to the church.and their devotion to
God by challenging them to offer their wholehearted cooperation to carly out a program extending over ninety days, with a special emphasis
upon every phase of our chu-rch-life. This was a
against
new venture-a
venture of faith-over
serlous doubts that we would be able to bolcl the
interest over so long a period of tlme. Be it saial

every Saturday nlght at 7 o'clock, as well as a
complete schedule of all services and events for
the ninety days. This was a service provided by
the Anniversary Committee to which all of our
peoBle reaoted with interest and cooperation.
The Guildchrist also provided a service, greatly
appreciated, by preparing a "Buzz Book," a di
rectory of all members of I'rieilens Church, with
addresses and telephone numbers. tr'or those, who
as yet have not secured a Brzz Book, copies are
still available. We shall not fail to hand a flctional orchid to Mr. Elmer Gerhardt for the greatly
admired and expertly executed decorations in the
sanctuary and the Church School Eall, We appreciated so much the efforts of the choir, under the
able direction of Mr. Sieckman, to beautify the
services with. appropriate anthems and solos, the
rendition of which was outstanding. Likewise we
thank our guest speakers who graced the servlces
with appropriate messages.
Now as we praise God for many blessings which
we received from the ebservance of our annlversary, we are moved to turn to the benefits which
we derlved, I believe that aU of you will a8ree
with me that the anniversary aroused all of our
members to a sense of the great privilege which
is ours, to be deemed worthy by God to work for
the advancement of his cause, which was demonstrated by increased attendance at the worship
services and which has contiriued to this day. It
was a source of deep. gratiflcation to recognize
many who previously had not been so regular ln
attendance. Many who formerly were aftliated
with our church honored us with their desire to
rejoice with us. Besides friends of X'riedens among
whorn wpre members of other churches gave evi'their
interest in our anniversary. Whether
dence of
or not these benefits will prove to be lasting will
be determined by the attendance in our Sunday
services in the future. The real worth of our
Christian life is not determined merely by our
church membership but by our attendance in the
sanctuary for worship,
The anniversary provided an opportunity to
foster Christian fellowship. Various events sponsored by our organizations attracted many people
and likewise many visitors. We were very happy
to have so many in attendance. We became better
acquainted with each other and also made new
acquaintanceships and friendships. Let us never
underrate the value of Christian fellowshjn and
let us increasingly share in it.
At the outset while planning the program the
&nniversary 6et a goal for our members toward
enlisting at lealt 90 members in our fellowship.
Almost, lt seemed, that we would fail in reaching
this goal. tr''inally when on the last Sunday of the
year we had reception of new members lre were
gratifled to announce'that vie had exceecled the
Mogsengcr
goal by 7,.Your pastor is very proud of these new
members. and he is happy to state that aU of them
are bona-fide new members, Many of them were
won by personal evangelism.
Aside from these benefits we were also blessed
with monetary gifts. By reason of lncreased
church attendance our Sunday ofierings increased
coirespondingly. Our members and friends made
much greater use of their duplex envelopes and
as a result wi: were enabled to meet all of our
expenses, and as the ffnancial report indicates,
we can look toward the new year with a, gooal
balance. By reason of increased receipts we were
also privileged to meet our denominational apportionment in full. Our annlversary offering .also
exceeded the flgure of previous years in a most
satisfactory amount. With deep appreciation we
acknowledged gifts from friends who are not connected with the church, and besides many of our
members honored the annlversary with large gifts
in keeping with the figure 90 or multiples thereof,
bringing the total to $3,522.08. We thank all, including all of our organizatlong, for evidences of
thelr loyalty to the church by their glfts. No doubt
there were many beneffts derlved from our annlversary of an intangible Dature; spiritual bene"
fits, which will flnd exBresslon in greater loyalty
to the church.
Now that our 90th Annlversary has become
history, what of the future? WiU the success of
our anniversary be an incentive to us to continue
on the high level of Chrlstian worship, Christian
service and Christlan living to which our obsery&nce of the anniversary has elevatetl us? Will we
reach out even to higher levels of Christian experience, or will some of us fall back to the low
level of an attitude of indifrerence to the church
and the work of Gorl's kingdom, May I Euggest
that we use our experlence durlng the anniversary
as a pattern after which to plan our churcb work
by adopting a defiDite "Go-Forward" program. I
am happy to inform you that at a recent meeting
of the Chllrch Cabinet the impetus has been giveu
for sucllGtion.
May all of us wholeheartedly co.
operate with such a program as may be devised,
Tonight it will tlevolve upon you to select new
members to serve on the Church Council, May we
herewith thank the Messrs. Dr. Lester JasBer,
Julius Moeller and Walter Hoelscher who ar€ re-

face life's experience with much faith and with a
special grace supplietl by God. tr'or many years
she had lived in the neighborhood of the church
on 20th Street and had become very friendly with
Friedens Church. On various occasions she delighted in offering special gifts to the church to
indicate her love for Friedens, as well as her relation to her Lord. In the latter years of her life,
with her sister, she had made her home with Mr.
and Mrs. O. C. Bergmann, where she experlenced
much love and received many attentions of car€
from her sister and her niece. The final summons
came to her so very quickly as the result of a
tragedy when she became a casualty of an expl.osion in the hom_e, her death resulting from
inlralations of smoke. She was so generally and
favorably known in North .St. Louis so that the
entire community was surroundef by a gloom of
sorrow over her untimely departure out of this
life. Although she haal reached a good ripe age,
she still maintained her interest in the affairs of
life and received so many attentions of love from
her loved ones, who now are boweil down with
grief over her death. .

TOWARD EASTER
. We are in the midst of our observation of the
I,enten season. .We are happy to report that so
many of our members and friends are in attendance at the special Lenten services on Wednesday night, in which, aside from concentrating
upon the story of the Lord's suffering and death,
we are giving thought to the SYMBOLS OF OUR
SALVATION, with a view of emphasizing those
institutions provided for us by G.od in the life of
the church.
In this season our thoughts are also directed to
the sacred rite of confirmation through which the
members of the confirmation class will be consecrated tb the service of their Lord, and received
into meiirbership with the c.Iurgh, On Sunday
.morning, March 14 in the 10:30 o'clock .Service,
the class will be presented to the congregatio4 in
a Testimony Service, in which these children will
give evidence of their knowledge bf the way unto
salvation, and on the following Sunday, palm
Sunday, the confirmation service will be helil at
10:00 o'clock instead of the usual hour of worship.
On Palm Sunday the 8:00 o'clock service will be
omitted, however on Sundays, March 14, the usaul
service will be conducted at 8:00 o'clock, On Palm
Sunday night the reunion of all confirmands here
at tr'riedens or elsewhere will be be observed in a
special program provided by the newly organized
Youth tr'ellowship. We trust that many will be in
attendance in this service inasmuch as some interesting features will be introduced. tr'ollowiyrg the
'for.
service, a receptioir
111 confirmands will be
held in the church school hall.
During Holy Week the following services will
be conducted, at which time we will.also celebrate
the Lord's Supper, The usual Lenten service on
Wednesday night, March 24, wilt be omitted.
Instead, a service will be held on Maundy Thursday night, followed by the celebration of the Lord's
Supper-altar communion. On Good Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock, we will conduct a German
communion service for the benefit of our members
and friends, who in former. .years have alwaysl
been accustomed to attend this service. At 10:80
o'clock on Gooii Friday morning, the Women's
Guikl will conduct THE LENTEN QUIET HOUR,
which as in the past,'promisbs to be a very impressive and inspirational hour of earnest mediration upon the Lord's crucifixion. On Good Friday
night at 8:00 o'clock the Good X'riday service will
be held, followed by the celebration of the Lord's
Supper. Pew communion.
On Easter Sunday morning, the Sunrise Eas[er
Service will be held at 6:30 o'clock, followerl by
the celebration of the Lord's Supper-pew com.
munion. At the close of this service, the youth
X'ellowship will serve an Easter Breakfast in the
church school hall. tr'reewill. offering. At 9:00
o'clock the Church School will assemble in the
sanctuary for an Easter program, presented by
groups of the respective departments. At 10:30
olclock the second Easter service will be. held,
largely for the benefit of those who find it inconvenient to attend the Sunrise service, Following
this service, the Lord's Supper will be celebrated.
,
Altar communion.
On Easter Sunday we hope to be privileged lo
receive. new members into thp fellowship of 'the
church. Again we extend a cordial invitation to
all who as yet are not active, supporting members
of the clfurch, to join us in the work of buitcling
up the church in order to exert a good influence
upon thp world, Application cards foi membership
are available in the sanctuary, which the ushers
will be pleased to supply.
We trust that all of our members and frienos
are rememberinC the special self-denial and Easrer
offering, for whi-ch envelopes have been sent to all
through the mail. Adtlitional envelopes are available for those who desire to use them.
On Easter Monday afternoon the members. of
the Women's Guild and the Tabea Sewing Circle
will sponsor their annual visit to the Good Samari.
tan Home at 4500Washington Blvd. at 2:00 o'clock.
Communion
for the Sick and Shut-ins
During Holy Week the pastor will be pleased ro
serve communion to the sick and the shutins,
however he vrould appreciate if those who desire
to celebrate the Lord's Supper will make their
request known to.him. In order that the pasior
may know that you really desire communion, then
will you call him at GArfield 0844.
Easter Lilies
:
:
tr'or our Easter decorations in the sanctuary, we
are again planning to have Elaster lilies.placed in
the chancel which will be offered by our members
and friends to hoiioi the memory of departed loved
ones, and at the same time to smphasize the
resurrection. All who desire to avail thdmlelves
of this privilege are asked to submit the'nalhej of
I
Friedons

the lilles are placed.
The cost of the lilies will be 65c per bloom
with none less then two blooms per plant. Additionel blooms at 65c each. Lilies may be called
for by the donors after the close of the second
Easter service.

estimated that these improvements would cost at
least $15,000.
The Women's Guild raised the question regarding assembly sBace for large gatherings when.the
large Sunday School Hall is completely fllleit with
tables. To overcome this it would almost be neces,
sary to dig a basement underneath the large Sunday School Hall and have the kitchen and eating
facilities there. Mr. Steinmeyer said that this
probably could be done but would cost an additional $15,000or 920,000.
He further rectmmended that an Administration and Educational buildins be erected to adjoin the church where our present small Sunday
School Hall is. now situated. The.front of this
new building would match the aBpearance of the
church and would extend to the rear of the present
ehurch wall and. possibly beyond .to include the
Pastor's garage if present zoning ordinances can
be changed to permit such ext'ension. A court in
the C€htdr of this building would avoid obstruction
of light through the east v/indow of the church
and would permit a flow of air for ventilating
purposes. This building would consist of one floor
below the ground and two above and would house.
the Pastor's study, secretary,s office, and the
church office and board room. The balance of the
building will be divided into various sized rooms,
suitable for Sunday School purBoses and other
shall gatherings. It.would also have a sound.
proof rehearsal room for the choir, and all three
floors would be usable as the building could be
heated ffom the present church heating plant with
some improvements. Mr. Steinmeyer estimated
that the cost of this buitrling would be abouu
$112,000'lf it extended to the present rear wall of
our present parish proBerty.
After additional thorough discussion it was
realized that some further changes in the plans
for this building would have to be made and Mr.
Steinmeyer will report on such revisions at a
later rlate,
A Finance Committee has been appointed, with
Mr. Oscar Limberg as chairman, ,and this com_
mittee has had several meetings and has made
tentative plans for solicitation of the funds neces:

Report
of 9oth Anniversary
Committee
I. Personal Contact.
Realizing that the success of the g0th Anniversary celebration was due largely to a well in_
foimed and persona.lly enlisted membership the
committee suggests that the conglegation continue
this personal contact through: a) visitation, b)
friendliness at the services on Sunday morning.
The members of the church council might assist
the pastor as official greeters at the door; c)
friendliness in the organization.. Let us resolve
to personally visit every member in our organization at least once in 194g.
II. Public presentation of the class which
reaches the age of 1g year.s. Here again this
group should be visited and invited to attend
this
presentation service.
In connection with. acceBting members we suggest there be a course of instruction as to church
organization, .etc.
III. The value of a, planned program. The com..
mittee feels the successof the.anniversary_demonstrates value of a unified, Blanned program; we,.
therefore, recommend that..the church council giv.e.
X'riedens a planned...program,..unifying.the work
of the -whole church.
The sale of the Buzz Book, the..Broiect ofrthe
Guildchrist, niore especially Mrs. WiUiam Chassel,
gave us a surplus of 948.b9. It is our pleasure
that
this be applied to the addiessograph.
