Built on a rock, St. Paul Lutheran Church celebrates 130th Anniversary

 

BERLIN — St. Paul Lutheran Church, on the corner of Norway and Seventh Street, will be celebrating its 130th anniversary on May 14.

The church has a rich history, beginning when the first Scandinavians came to Berlin in 1854. Settling in a section of Berlin which soon became known as Norwegian Village and later, Berlin Mills, these immigrants found employment working for the Brown Company in the woods and in the paper mill.
