At the Church-Old Doors New Decor


The front doors of Sundahl Lutheran Church were held open  as Jane Kirsti Huso and Fred Addison Lukens left in a shower of rice following their May 17, 1975 wedding. The large heavy church doors faced North and would be removed later in the summer of 1975. An addition to the church was planned. Notice the brass kick plate attached to the bottom of each door.
The kick plates were removed from the doors and saved for ten years. Everyone who attended the 100th Anniversary Celebration of Sundahl was asked by Herlof Huso to sign their name on the kick plate. The signatures were then etched into the brass by Herlof who was responsible for the original idea and execution of this piece.
 This guest book hangs in the completed addition, Heritage Hall, as an interesting memento of the Church Centennial.
