The Ministry of Flowers

Part of the history of Salem Evangelical Church (Rochester, New York):

The beautiful custom of placing flowers on the altar every Sunday began November 26, 1911. The first flowers were given by Mrs. Minnie Nelson Gerhard, Miss Amelia Kall, and Miss Lena Kettwig. Immediately thereafter Mrs. J. George Kaelber spoke to Miss Kettwig and suggested that flowers be placed on the altar every Sunday. Mrs. Kaelber offered them for the following Sunday, and the donors on the remaining Sundays of the month were: Mrs. Julius C. Hoffman, Mrs. Katharine Loeffler, Miss Emma Hess, and Mrs. Mary Milow. Since that time there has not been a Sunday without flowers on the altar. After accomplishing their purpose in church on Sunday, these flowers have been sent with messages of comfort and cheer to many hundreds of sick, shut-ins and afflicted in homes and hospitals.

More details, such as a map with names of all counties and regions, can be found there as well. Continue reading Our name

Predigerdienst in Barstede bis 1931

Zusammengestellt von Hinrich Schoolmann. (Dieser Text ist einem Zeitungsartikel entnommen, der mir nur als Kopie vorliegt. Ich habe keine Ahnung wann und in welcher Zeitung er erschienen ist.)

Barstede. Der Ort begegnet uns um 1408 als Barstede (Friedländers Urkundenbuch I 214) und im Stader Copiar um 1420 als Kerstede, hier dürfte jedoch ein Druck- oder Schreibfehler die Verstümmelung des Namens verursacht haben. Was im übrigen über den Ort und über die Kirche im allgemeinen bekannt ist, hat Bernhard Uphoff in seiner Ortskunde gesagt. Continue reading Predigerdienst in Barstede bis 1931
