Country Churches in the snow

The Hanover and Soldier Township churches of the Ricketts Triple-Parish Lutheran Churches
I am told that there is a spot on a hill North of town, where on a clear day, you can see all three churches at the same time from the same place. I haven't quite found that yet, but the two that are each about a mile or two outside of town were too pretty not to take pictures of this afternoon.

Strike up the band!

In the early days, a group of men in the Hanover Township congregation, St. Paul's Lutheran, organized a band. They gave many fine concerts and on special occasions they played during church services. They also played in the surrounding towns for special celebrations- sometimes for as long as three days at a time.
