HISTORY with Mike Hanson

Frank has it tough Chapter 6 In late January of 1913 Frank Geddes wrote his family in Indiana that he was making progress but since last summer he had been short of breath from time to time; he thought he was improving though he admitted he was more chipper on some days than others. Frank was hopeful but also knew that he couldn’t get any more done on his house until he got more money and time to haul some lumber into his homestead but he was typically upbeat and figured he would get it “proved up” by fall and “ then it will count up pretty fast.” Frank’s son George took a snapshot of Frank with their team and a load of poles with his dad holding the reins, but it was George who actually ran the team.

Looking Back

15 years ago With themes of “Celebrate Our Faith” and “Let it Shine,” Faith United Church is celebrating its 40th anniversary this weekend. Members and friends of the congregation are gathering for a potluck dinner and program on Saturday and a special worship service and coffee hour today. The Saturday evening program will include history of the current building and stories of the past 40 years submitted by church members. The union of the Congregational Christian Church and the Evangelical and Reformed Church created the United Church of Christ in 1957. Ten years later, Bethlehem Congregational Church and Calvary Methodist Church in International Falls joined together to construct a new building on the corner of Fifth Street and Tenth Avenue. Then the two churches dissolved and reformed as Faith United Church, United Church of Christ.

@ Your Library

It is the last day of September and a good time to check in and make sure everyone is doing a bit of reading each and every day. It can be a good way to wind down at the end of the day and ease the eye strain of staring at screens and make going to sleep easier (unless you get caught up in a good story).
