FIRE!
On Tuesday, April 6, 2010 (two days after Easter), lightning struck our sanctuary and caused a fire. Initial damage was moderate, but two afternoon flare ups resulted in considerable smoke and water damage throughout the building. As a result, we were unable to use our sanctuary for 4 months while it was gutted and rebuilt. On Sunday, August 15, we Rededicated our building and Dedicated our new organ in a 3:00 PM service; a celebration dinner followed. For pictures and a write-up on the fire, click here: Fire Report
FOR MORE PICTURES AND REGULAR POSTS: We now have a church Facebook page with lots of pictures up. Look for "St. Paul Lutheran Church - Harvard, IL"
QUOTE: "THE CHURCH IS WHAT'S LEFT WHEN THE BUILDING BURNS DOWN."
St. Paul was founded in 1905, and is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. Our current building was dedicated in 1979 and sits on 6 1/3 acres on the north end of Harvard, Illinois. Harvard is a small but growing town of almost 10,000 people in McHenry County. The self-proclaimed "Milk Capital of the World," Harvard is about one hour northwest of Chicago, 10 miles from Woodstock, and just 5 miles south of the Wisconsin state line. it is the last stop of the Chicago METRA rail system, so draws people from the surrounding area.
Nearby Illinois towns include: Hebron, Chemung, Woodstock, Marengo, Capron, Poplar Grove
Nearby Wisconsin towns include: Walworth, Fontana, Sharon, Delavan and Lake Geneva
St. Paul is a member of the:
Faith Lutheran High School Association of McHenry County
Harvard Chamber of Commerce
Lutheran Church Missouri Synod
