Blessings on top of blessings were celebrated on November 5 when the St. Paul Lutheran Church family gathered to mark 125 years of ministry. Following worship, about 230 people gathered in the gymnasium for lunch and a presentation highlighting many good moments over the first century and a quarter.
Special guests including Joe Lee, Village of Hilton Mayor; Dave Crumb, Hilton Historian; Rev. Dr. Myke Merril, the longest serving clergy member in Hilton; and Rev. Larry Stokovic from Hope Church came to share encouragement with the congregation.
St. Paul’s first worship service was held in 1898 with 36 individuals representing 10 families. Today, St. Paul worships 240 per weekend and operates a school drawing children from five different school districts.
