Saints for the 2019 Tour!

4/21/2019

 
The congregation has voted, the planning committee has met and gone through the arduous task of deciding who we'll feature on the tour this year. We have decided on ten actors to portray the saints below at seven stops.
Saint
Wayne Erickson
AB Walfrid
Floyd Sandgren*
Charles Shalander*
Selma & Nathan Lindgren
Doris Booren
Jean Miller
Peter Magnus Nelson^
Isaac Nelson^


1937-1992
?-1997
1910-1992
1928-2000
1902-1988 & 1898-1997

1915-1985
1929-2016
1835-?1924?
1889-1918

* Formation and establishment of Scandia Fire Department, 1952.
^ Early settlers in Scandia, father and son.

All of the saints suggested were wonderful candidates. This group seems to work well an be relatively balanced. Several saints were have chosen for the 2019 tour have been on the 'potential' list for years. We will keep all of the suggested saints for the next tour.

Our next step is to recruit the actors to portray each saint. If you have the name suggestions, contact Scott Walcker 651-592-3349 or elimscemetery@gmail.com

As we find actors to fill the saints roles, we need YOU to step forward and provide pictures, tell us stories, remembrances, etc., of the saints. This is one of the best parts of the tour... hearing the stories and finding out more about the saints lives!

Happy Easter! God bless the saints that have given us such a rich history!

Voting for Saints on Palm Sunday!

4/11/2019

 
Next Sunday, April 14th the congregation will vote on possible saints to feature on this year's tour.  The planning committee will make the final selection over Holy Week and hopefully we'll reveal the saints for this tour on Easter Sunday.   We're looking forward to the vote from the congregation, there are so may great possibilities!
