80th: A Musical Celebration

Humble Beginnings

BREAKING GROUND

On October 22, 1950, ground was broken for the construction of the lower level of a future church building. Construction began on May 3, 1951, and the new structure was dedicated on January 20, 1952. The last service was held in the original chapel on
June 6, 1954. Church services, beginning in June 1954, were held in the new parish hall while plans were in progress to complete the new building.
