This is a program for the consecration of the Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran School at Per­ryville in Perry County, Missouri, on 6 September 1908.  Much of the program is in German, al­though there is a page for “English services.”

 

Perry County, Missouri, experienced a substantial immigration of Germans in the nine­teenth century, including many Evangelicals (Lutherans).  This is a program from the consecration of the Lutheran school at Perryville, the county seat, on 6 September 1908.  Of the four pages (a single folded sheet of paper), three are in German, including the orders of service at the church (Deutscher Gottesdienst in der Kirche) and at the school (Schulweih).  The last page consists of a list of leaders of the school’s sponsoring congregation (Beamte der Gemeinde), the Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church.  One page is devoted to “English Services at the School.”  Cele­bratory sermons were delivered by Pastor Fr. Klug of Farmington, Missouri (in German), and the Rev. H. A. Klein of Wittenberg, Missouri (in English).

 

The congregation and school exist today as Immanuel Lutheran Church and Immanuel Lu­theran School in Perryville.  The congregation is an affiliate of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.
