Description

Seven months before St. Luke's congregation had received a Certificate of Occupancy and was able to move into the new facility that had been under construction for more than two years, it was decided to conduct a worship service celebrating the laying of the "Foundation Stone" in the narthex of the new facility. Worship services (8:15 and 10:45 am) were held in Founders Hall during the entire construction phase and only the officiants in the special ceremony were allowed to be in the newly-built space, since the CO had not yet been granted. Therefore, a screen was mounted inside Founders Hall so that the congregation could view the video images of the Foundation Stone dedication during the worship services held that Sunday morning. Rev. Dr. Glenn O'Shoney (Exec, Director of the Board for Mission Services, Lutheran Church-Mo. Synod) served as the guest preacher for this occasion. The lector was the Rev. Dr. Albert Marcis, President of the SELC District of the LC-MS; St. Luke's own Pastor, E.J. Rossow, served as officiant and Vicar Robert Grams was the liturgist for the worship services. Four "time capsules" were filled with mementos of the church's history and of events current to the new construction and were place in a concrete vault under the Foundation Stone cap. The beautiful sacred art work on the walls of Founders Hall was created by Ruth Wiedenmann for this milestone event.
