St. Mary's Chapel Belfry Being Removed, January 1973

St. Mary's Losing Belfry St. Mary's Chapel is losing its belfry. Workmen have been working on the church for over a week. According to St. Mary's chaplain, Sister Connie Smedinghoff, they are dismantling the belfry because its structural condition has deteriorated. The church and belfry were built in 1924. Sister Connie said the workmen are also repairing loose masonry on the side of the church. "There is structural damage underneath the bricks in the steel supports," she said about the belfry. "It was caused by water seepage. It would cost too much to take the bricks down, clean and paint the steel and put the bricks back up. Besides the belfry is hollow and it would happen again."

Epiphany Season Symbol A Moravian star marks the Epiphany season at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church. The star, brought to this country by Christians from Moravia as a Christmas symbol, is a reminder of the star which guided the wise men to the Christ child. The theme of the Epiphany season, which began Jan. 6 and concluded Feb. 1, is the worldwide mission of the Christian church, and the star symbolizes this since its points reach out in all directions. Looking at the star are members of the four-year-old nursery and their teacher, from left, Danny Burkholder, John Westland, Joyce Collins, Mrs. Charles Hill and Eric Hammel. The star came to Trinity from the Moravian community near Winston- Salem, N.C. where college students make them.
