Festwoche 20 jahre Gemeindehaus

Our Ward building is 20 years old this month and they had a three day celebration.


On Thursday we had a missionary concert given by our Choir director, who is in the bishopric and a well known tenor soloist and teacher in this area. We invited our neighbors to come and we actually had one show up with her daughter. He has an awesome voice and sang some pretty high classical music. This is Brother Olaf Heller.


On Friday we had a big banquet and program. Here you see the tables set up in the Cultural Hall for the banquet. We helped do this.


We had the program before we ate. Bischof Bartsch was the MC.


There was a variety of entertainment and all very well done. This was the only picture that came out well enough to see. This is the Heller family. Brother Heller and daughter on the piano and Sister Heller and the other children with musical instruments. Of course they were wonderful.


This is one table out of three laden with 75% meats and .05% vegetables. The grapes you see was the only dessert and were scarfed up in a hurry at the end.


It was an overwhelming and delightful feast.


On Saturday we had a service day. Many went into the city and dug a trench for a water pipe and several, including us, worked at the ward building cleaning the inside and raking the fall leaves on the outside.
