Views of 1957 structure before demolition in 1989-90
Shortly before the demolition of the 1957 addition c.1990, many colored images were made to preserve the memory of that space. But it should be noted that major changes were made in the chancel area c.1986: the altar was moved forward, the pulpit was removed and stored for use in the new sanctuary (dedicated in 1993) and both the communion rails and baptismal font were relocated during this short period. The changes were made to assist the congregation in addressing the need for more space as they investigated the possibility of erecting a larger facility. During this same period, the church offices were moved from the SOUTH transept and that space was used to accommodate more worshipers at the Sunday services.

Views of church picnic grounds, mid to late 1950s
Several views of the church picnic grounds as they appeared from the mid 1950s for at least 2 more decades. The specific nature of an event in one image is unknown, but the smoke rising in the background probably signifies that the huge open grill built by the men of the congregation was in full use on this day. Typically, the men of the church grilled chicken and burgers and boiled fresh sweet corn in custom-made cookers and the ladies provided side dishes and desserts. Ice cream was a commonly offered treat at church picnics, as well, and the spacious grounds offered plenty of room for horseshoes, 3-legged races and egg throwing contests. 8x10 B&W print, scanned on Epson 10000XL at SLLC, August, 2011.

Wedding in "gymnasium church," August 15, 1992. Sidlik-Short wedding
The wedding ceremony for Steven Sidlik and Patricia Short took place at 2pm on August 15, 1992 in St. Luke's gymnasium (Founders Hall). Because a large portion of the brick church had been demolished to make space for a large new sanctuary, already under construction, the gymnasium was used for worship services and all other church events during this multi-year period. But this wedding was special to the people of St. Luke's for other reasons: the groom had served as a teacher in St. Luke's School since 1955 and the bride was a secretary in the church office. The entire congregation was invited to share the couple's joy at the ceremony and at a reception which followed at the Lutheran Haven Fellowship Hall. Rev. E. J. Rossow officiated at the ceremony
