revivial services that lasted for six weeks. There were overflow crowds and 64 souls found Christ in the meetings. One particular evening, upon arriving late, Rev. Johnson had to be pulled through a window to reach the pulpit. Children were seated on the pulpit to leave more room in the seats for their parents. The first Sunday school superintendent was Ira Wagoner. Hie first secretary was Flossie Laisare; the janitor, Billy Hendrichs; the first cnorister, Roy Carter. The church had no piano. Planned To Move The church continued to serve the community down through the years, and attendance fluctuated as the number of residents increased and decreased. In 1958, Mrs. Amanda Liby met with the church trustees and offered them two lots in west Monroe, which they accepted. After a considerable growth in attendance, planning, and much prayer, a contract was entered into in July, 1963, with Enos Schrock to build the new church. The first services in the hew church building were held Feb. 23, with 87 persons present. The Monroe community Good Friday service was held in the church, with an overflow crowd of worshipers. Rev. Knittie praised the interest and kindness of the fine people cf Monroe during the re-location planning.
