Logcabin Church

In 1927, Rev. Doten came to this District as a regular minister and served for about five years. Worship took place at the town hall and a dance hall owned by Sol Freeman. Rev Doten's District covered areas from Eckerman to Trenary, with ten or more churches to contact every two weeks. As our congregation grew, so did the desire to have our own place of worship. Rev. Doten and Mr. Lind, the school principal, thought up the Mile of Pennies contest. The contest ran for one month between the red and blue groups (members divided to make groups), and at the end of the month the groups collected more than a mile of pennies! The red group won and was treated to a Fourth of July picnic by the blue group. Only fitting, don't you think?

On July 4th, 1934 the ground-breaking ceremony took place and building began. Dr Yoeman led the dedication service in September of 1935. His sermon that night was to "Love one another, but Christ's love is greater than all." It wasn't until 1936 that all was finished and ready.

The first glimpse of the beautiful log chapel that sits in the woods are rocks from Lake Superior that were collected to erect the chimmney and steeple, with the bell being donated by George Isacson. The logs that greet you upon entry are from our own forest and donated by local lumberman. The idea of reversible pews came from the railroad passenger cars, giving us access to both ends. They did come in handy when the children put on plays, as a small stage is before it. Many weddings took place by the fireplace. The wonderful stained glass windows were donated from families and today you can read their names on each window, bringing a rich heritage to this small but humble church.

At that time the town flourished with a Wooden Bowl Factory, Lumber Mills and Logging. There were many attending worship and our church grew. It wasn't unusual for the choir to be 15-20 and the pastor to look out and see 55 or more smiling faces on any Sunday morning service ready to worship. In the back was the laughter of children learning the love of God in Sunday School. Later, as jobs diminished and people were forced to move, our attendance dropped. Our attendance is small but the doors are still open to anyone wishing to come in.

We have sent many young people to camp and mission trips as our promise to help gather His flock. The Lord promised where two or more are gathered there He would be also. Today we are living proof of His promise and love. Even though we are small, we keep our apportionments paid and are able to pay bills. We are organizing ideas of fund raising and looking for ways to raise money to continue to keep our doors open and bring joy and the Holy Spirit to this community for years to come.

What we ask of you today is keeping the Christian faith alive and the love of our Lord to continue.

Thank you and God bless.
