The Building Of A Parish Hall 1971 - 1972 With the growth of St. Paul congregation a pressing need was felt for some years for more adequate facilities for the Sunday School and a larger hall for meetings of larger groups. Sporadic efforts were made during the previous years for better Sunday School rooms since classes were conducted in the church basement, in the Sunday School Annex and in the old Parish Hall. In January of 1971 a Building Committee was appointed. In March of 1971 the Building Committee recommended to proceed with plans for a new Sunday School - Parish Hall building. This was dependent on the fact that some $40,000.00 should be pledged toward the construction cost. On May 23 when the pledges were received the total amounted to $70,000.00. Added to this was the $50,000.00 which the Ladies Aid and congregation had saved toward a new building and it was decided to proceed with the construction. Construction was begun on August 1, 1971 and the building was completed and dedicated on May 14, 1972. The total cost including furnishings was $185,000.00. The Building Committee consisted of the following: Mr. Paul Rommelmann, chairman, Mr. Merle Schoon, Mr. Harold Rampke, Mr. Howard Wandrey, and Mr. Clifford Passuello. Mr. Richard Chael, President of the congregation and Pastor Koepke were ex officio members. The building has been a blessing to the congregation serving the Sunday School with adequate facilities and the large hall being used by many groups for various activities.
