St. Pauli Church Bell Tower Repair
Donation protected
The St. Pauli Church, also known to most of the people in the Big Stone County area as the "Two Mile Church" is located 2 miles south of Clinton, MN on US Hwy. 75, is in need of financial assistance.
Each summer, members of Trinity Lutheran Church and the surrounding communities hold summer "Old Time Services" at St. Pauli Church. Sometime between services on July 5, 2014 and August 6, 2014, the support beams holding the bell at St Pauli broke, causing the bell to fall through 3 ceilings, and land firmly imbedded into the narthex floor, leaving major destruciton in its path.
Repairs to fix the damage are partially covered by insurance, however, due to insurance depreciation and some items of needed repair not covered by insurance, we find ourselves about $10,000 short.
All donations are welcome and needed now and forever. Please make a prayerful decision on this and, if you can, donate to this funding campaign. St. Pauli Lutheran Church is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
