FROBISHER, Sask. – On June 23, St. John Lutheran Church celebrated 70 years in its current building. The congregation invited several of their previous pastors to attend, and were blessed to have Rev. David Ramsey’s wife, Dianne, and Rev. Bill Kronen attend. Rev. Greig Heidorn and Rev. Jason Schultz joined the congregation’s current pastor, Rev. Adrian Kramer, and led the worship service.

After the service, an outdoor lunch was held, and a short program and tree-planting rounded out the celebrations. The Lord blessed the event with beautiful weather for the day.

St. John Lutheran Church was dedicated to the glory of God on August 22, 1954, with three services held that day. A service was conducted in German in the morning by liturgist Rev. E. A. Biberdorf and preacher Rev. W. Dressler. In the afternoon, Rev. Dressler, the local pastor, conducted a service in which Rev. Biberdorf preached the dedicatory sermon. In the evening, Rev. Herman Bickel, the former pastor, preached another service.
