A couple of artifacts have been added to our Digital Archives: Memories of Forestville and St. Peter’s from Paula Marie Berger Hilgendorf. Paula was one of Rev. Gustav Berger’s daughters. Rev. Berger served from 1903-1925.
Check out our Digital Archives to read a Letter from Rev. Gustav Berger, written in 1913, a delightful glimpse into the life of Forestville at the time. Rev. Berger served from 1903 to 1925 and was the pastor at Forestville when the congregation built the current parsonage in 1903.
The 1975 Anniversary Booklet has been added to our digital archives. It is another one of those publications which offers a slice of life of the church at that time, and a colorful time it was, indeed! Check it out to take in information on the history of the congregation and to see some of the fun fashions and hairstyles of that era!
This morning we added a new page to our website: a Digital Archive! Saint Peter’s has a rich history, and we are proud to show it to the world.
The first artifact in our Digital Archive is a PDF of our 1949 Church Building Dedication booklet. It is one of the most treasured publications in the history of Saint Peter’s, and it gives a great “slice of life” for both the congregation and the community at the time.
