Faith Lutheran Church wound up its centennial celebration this past weekend with a trip back in time. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, church members demonstrated the activities of daily life as they would have been practiced 100 years ago.

Women of the church made mints, churned butter, stitched needlepoint, wove baskets and washed clothes on a washboard. Pharmacist Tim Williams showed how medicines used to be compounded and administered.

Outside, church members braved the cold to play an old-time game of ball.

Church cooks sold homemade bread and pound cakes as a fundraiser.

Sunday, following a year of special observances including guest preachers, pastors Keith and Judy Copeland led worship including a service, with a lot of amens, as it would have been practiced 100 years ago. Keith Copeland’s sermon, “Turn of the Century Faith,” looked back at the church’s beginning and forward to the new century. Many members of the congregation came to worship dressed in period costume.

A quartet from the choir sang “The Old Rugged Cross.”

Joanne Holshouser was in charge of Heritage Day.
