Mount Olive’s 70th anniversary
REGINA – In 2023, Mount Olive Lutheran Church celebrated its 70th anniversary, and the congregation thanks and praises God for 70 years of blessings.
A logo and memento was designed to commemorate the anniversary, which was made on a 3D printer by Jean and Joy Patoine, and then hand-painted by volunteers.
Throughout the year there were several special events and special guest preachers who had some connection to the church, and the year’s activities culminated with a special worship service and dinner held on Sunday, October 15. Rev. David Haberstock, Central Regional Pastor, was the guest preacher, and a catered dinner and short program followed, with 174 people attending the dinner.
Any proceeds raised from the events were designated to the roof repair fund.
The congregation enjoyed celebrating together this year and remembers fondly those members who took that first step in starting the mission church on March 9, 1953—and the church is blessed to have a few founding members who still attend Mount Olive.
