Union Grove Baptist Church and School

Union Grove, Wisconsin

Pastor George Schlagel

The Lord gave us many blessings in Union Grove. In the morning we sang in the high school chapel and Mr. Swain admonished the students from Proverbs 4 to keep their hearts right during the summer. Our afternoon was free to do our laundry and shopping. While at the laundry we had the opportunity to sing to two ladies. Mrs. Swain was then able to give the gospel to one of these ladies, and she gladly received Christ as her Saviour. What a wonderful blessing!

That evening we sang and testified, and the Bible message was brought by Mr. Swain. We enjoyed the sweet fellowship of the pastor, his family, and the church. Pastor Schlagel and Mr. Swain attended seminary together during the mid-1970's; many stories and laughter were shared. We also met family of Sonda (Stine) Boyle who are members of Union Grove Baptist Church. It was a joy to meet family of a Crown alumnus.

Many families opened their homes to us and were a tremendous blessing. Thank you to Jamie and Rachel Thompson, Lorraine Lincoln, and Miss Myrtle for all your care and hospitality.
