St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Wilbert dedicated an organ this month that they needed to replace their old pipe organ. The organ was paid in full by that Sunday due to generous gifts from many people. Thank you to all the benefactors. The congregation was amazed at how many parts and pipes there were to the old organ when it was removed. They miss the old organ but like the sound of the new one. St. Paul's in Wilbert has services at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday.
