Our weekly breakfast buffet was larger than ever. It was a wonderful time of fellowship. The two services were well attended and many people returned for the first time in a year.

Glimpse into Murdock History

Continuing with our new series to the weekly news.

During the 1950s Pastor Heim would document his home visits with parishioners by taking a photo. These are no ordinary photos, but COLOR photographs. In the 1950s this was almost unheard of then. It was cutting edge "technology". Thank you to Ramona Oehlerking for the video/images.

Happy SPRING to the Streich family.

Taken in the 1950s I'm sure the kids in this photo would love to be reminded of this time.
