The First Visitors for 2010
We are pleased to introduce to you.....
Though it was cold and bleak weather, the Lord brought us some faithful followers and smiling supporters of the Saxon Lutheran Memorial
on our first day of the 2010 season. We were pleased to see them and had a wonderful visit. Refreshments were served to everyone's delight.
From L to R: Wyatt & Christal Gihring, Leah Gihring, Mrs. Gihring,
Mary Lou Muench and Lisa Palmer.
Thanks for being here and getting us started for the year.
Another group to start the season arrived
with their families on March 3rd
This very happy bunch of people are from St. Louis, the men are students ready to accept their ministry calls in April from Concordia Seminary. They are from L to R: Ryan, Ann & Sam and Bill & Mary.
They stayed at Aunt Carrie's Tea house and then were treated to a down-home all out country breakfast at the SLM. We loved meeting these fine future pastors and their families and we pray they and their new churches will be blessed abundantly.
Technology comes to the 18oo's!
Have you ever heard of Geo-caching? Well, it is quickly becoming more and more popular. It is a "sport" of treasure hunting with your GPS devise. The Saxon Lutheran Memorial has joined the forces and is a cache site. We have hidden treasures for the adventurers to find. Once they find the hidden treasures, they can stay for a while longer and hear about the real treasures that are tucked into all the history surrounding them.
Brian Blythe of Perryville was the first Geo-cache hunter to find one of the hidden treasures on site; there are three. He is an avid hunter as is his wife and daughter, I know they will be back. Nice to meet you, Brian, thanks for playing the game and getting into the hunt.
Geo cachers may find extra little goodies and coupons from the SLM as a thank you for "hunting on our grounds."
