This is the First English Lutheran Church in Butler. I went there with my parents and brother until college. Some excellent caring pastors there over the years. A wonderful pipe organ. The stained glass windows are still beautiful.
This is the First English Lutheran Church. The first Lutheran Church was St. Mark's German Lutheran Church. The services were in German. But the members of the congregation who spoke English wanted a Lutheran church where they could understand the service. That was how our church came about. It also has the carillon bells that play a hymn during the day.

ReplyDeleteThis is not St. Marks.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't St. Mark's Church. I believe this is the English Lutheran Church on Main St.
ReplyDeleteThis is not St. Marks.
ReplyDeleteThis is NOT St. Mark's Lutheran Church. It looks like the English Lutheran Church on Main St.
