Shingling Funds
First & Eidsvold councils
2009-2010
Shingling funds have been set up at both churches as both churches are looking at replacing the shingles on the roof. Eidsvold is in need of immediate replacement of the south facing shingles. First Lutheran Church is considering the shingling project in the next couple of years. At either church you may give a special donation to the shingling fund by simply placing it in the Sunday offering plate or by mailing it to the parish office or the appropriate financial secretary. Please clearly mark the check and the envelope that this is for the shingling project. At each church this is a major project that will require substantial funds to complete. Your donation is very much appreciated. For more information about the details of the project you may consult the president of either congregation or the Property Board at First (Wayne Anderson and Roger Jacobson) or the trustees at Eidsvold (Chris Davis, Arnell Cummins, Jeff Folland, Shane Olson).
The 125th anniversary of the founding of Eidsvold Lutheran Church will be celebrated on July 31, 2011 in Halma. A new history of the congregation will be published emphasizing the events of the last 25 years. A service of thanksgiving at the church on Sunday morning followed by a dinner at the Halma Hall are in the preliminary plans. Anyone who has information for the history book or ideas for the celebration may contact a member of the church council or the parish office. Everyone is encouraged to spread the word to former members and friends and set aside this date for a big celebration.
