I'm not sure my favorite one (see my blog) would make it for the Lutherans as it may not be sacramental enough. I liked your stories and have passed Augustana many times, also used to work at Grace University which is another former Swedish congregation.Auntie Knickershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854138665883068803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-39365125989538894822008-02-15T14:27:00.000-06:002008-02-15T14:27:00.000-06:00I like the banner idea.

We couldn't even have a party afterwards and we all forgot cameras. A woman who wrote a sort of small town gossip column for the local paper took a picture when we were leaving the church, so I have a tattered picture from the newspaper, that is it.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-31262238117323458502008-02-15T09:41:00.000-06:002008-02-15T09:41:00.000-06:00Great play- you have some great stories- and I lov...Great play- you have some great stories- and I love the banner idea.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759963926280667938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-74890340143668182402008-02-15T09:30:00.000-06:002008-02-15T09:30:00.000-06:00Great post!
