When a new piece of land was settled in the early years, the most important thing to be established was the church. The congregations of old were devoted in their religion, and felt the need for a God's House where they could meet and praise the Lord.
Though they often had to meet in homes at the beginning, and later share time with traveling ministers, they worked to establish a church of their own.
Such was the case of St. Peter Lutheran Church of New Richland, which is preparing to celebrate its 125th anniversary this weekend.
For the church’s 125th anniversary, the Rev. Scott Williams, former pastor Rev. Philip Lewison, and Bishop Steven Delzer of the Southeastern Minnesota Synod will lead the Sunday worship service on January 25th at 10:30 a.m. and a dinner for the members of the church will follow.
