2025

Anniversary Celebration

In 2025, St. Paul's Lutheran Church & School will experience its 150th and 115th anniversaries, respectively. We are planning a year-long recognition of our history and presence in the Perham area, culminating with a celebration in September 2025.

OUR HISTORY

We hope to celebrate our rich history by collecting photographs, published materials, art, hymnals, bells, crucifixes, wedding or baptismal gowns or certificates and more. Our plan is to showcase these items through historical exhibits and an anniversary booklet.

 

 If you have any historical pieces or photos of St. Paul’s (any era), we would love to borrow and display them! All items will be documented and itemized in order to return them after our celebration in September 2025.

A Year-Long
Celebration

We kick-off our year-long anniversary celebration in September 2024 and will continue the celebration with events smattered throughout the year. We hope to highlight different aspects of our church/school history through periodic video, photo and/or trivia published in The Proclaimer, Hands+Feet or on screens during Sunday Worship.

2025 CELEBRATION WEEKEND

Our final celebration event will coincide with our annual Hog Roast, which is a wonderful opportunity to invite Perham area residents to celebrate this part of Perham's history. In addition to the Hog Roast, the celebration event will feature two days of fun and fellowship. All items listed are proposed at this time, as we are still in the planning process.
