Celebrating 155 Years of Prayer and Service
Our church is 157 years old this year! The restoration project to replace the chancel wall was completed in 2018. The 2019 Good Samaritan Award was presented to Gunther Austin at the luncheon following the Eucharist on Sunday morning September 8th. Due to the Covid pandenmic, the 2020 Award was not given. We give thanks to God for blessing us with 157 years of prayer
and service to Him in the Sauk Centre community.
Festival of Lessons and Carols
A Festival of Lessons Carols took place on Saturday, December 14, 2019 at The Episcopal Church of the Good Samaritan at 7 pm, with another presentation on Sunday, December 15 at 4 pm. This community-wide event was revived in 2018 following an 18 year hiatus and in celebration of the completion of the restoration of the chancel wall and the 151st anniversary of our historic church. Due to the Covid pandenmic, the Festival did not take place in 2020.
Restoration Project - Phase 2
WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE that the chancel wall project begun in April was completed in early October 2018. The project was made possible by generous donations from parishioners and friends in the community, as well as in part by the people of Minnesota through a grant funded by an appropriation to the Minnesota Historical Society from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
