This is the marker as seen from road that runs in front of
church. Marker is facing east with stones behind it facing east.
"The 150th Anniversary Committee spent many hours during 1988 and 1989 preparing a history book and planning for the 150th Anniversary. In addition to the history book, they prepared and had printed Christmas greeting card with a picture of the sanctuary, a birthday calendar, and made plans to erect a stone-marker ( see above ) where the first log church of 1839 was erected and the first brick church in 1855."
"Research of the old records provided the new name of " German Evangelical *Immanuels* Church of Holstein was voted on during the annual meeting on January 1, 1884. There were questions as to the "s" on Immanuels . A decision was made to not alter the name and the wishes of the forefathers. The name can be seen carved into the stone at the base of the steeple of the present church."
