Bio
The first Lutheran Communion service was held in 1872 marking the birth of the Lutheran Church in Thorne. The Lutheran congregation first used a small log building for worship bought from the Anglican Church for $50 in 1877. The first stone church was built in 1898. The small log building, used as the original site of Lutheran worship was located beside where the stone church stands today.
This original church was destroyed by fire and was rebuilt on the same sight using much of the same stone work.
The altar, the pulpit and baptismal font in the church were made entirely by hand by a talented local craftsman, John Groneau. All are still in use in the church.
