SIX MILE GROVE LUTHERAN CHURCH IS IN PROCESS OF REPLACING ITS STEEPLE

Six Mile Grove steeple was removed July 22. On hand were several Grove members and friends, Larry Aanonson, Jeff Helle, Rick Murphy, David Anderson, Eric Douglas, Bryce Nelson and Russ Sampson.

This 1884 bell tower has a long history of service at Six Mile Grove. A new tower is being built and the bell will be used again.

The Six Mile Grove 125th church book stated work on the church began in 1867, and was completed in 1888. The Ladies Aide purchased the bell.

A new platform will be first put on the steeple base to accommodate the new steeple, which will be going up in the near future. Interestingly, a replica of the Six Mile Grove church stands at the Mower County fairgrounds.

Rev. Gaylord Grant serves as church pastor.
