St. Paul Church 175th Anniversary
St. Paul United
Church of Christ celebrated its 175th anniversary in June 2008. Historical booklets prepared in 1933 and
1983 to celebrate the church’s 100th and 150th anniversaries contained
information about the 33 men who formed the Bremen
Association in Cincinnati to establish a new
Protestant community in the wilds of Ohio
in 1833. A decision was made to
publish a new book in 2008 to celebrate the 175th year and to update the
church’s history. In it an attempt
was made to profile some of the people who have influenced lives and
fostered spiritual growth within the church. It is a chronological listing
of events, milestones, individuals and buildings during the past 175 years.
Also
included in this book are sections about the Sunday School, organizations,
the church’s symbols, its stained glass windows, and more. There are lots of pictures, including a
section on 90-years olds and 50-year or more marriages.

Joyous Echoes
In the
early 1980s, Marge Lietz and her husband, Paul, were known as the local
historians. They both loved to take photographs and they were old enough to
remember much of the town’s history.
They had organized their collective pictures, memories and
observations of New Bremen
and presented slide shows with Marge writing the scripts. At about the same time a committee was
formed in St. Paul
Church to study ways
to enhance the church’s monthly newsletter, The Beacon. One
suggestion was a column to be written by Marge. Marge agreed and subsequently announced
that the column would be called “Joyous Echoes.” She wanted the content to be joyful and
to reflect or echo the happy events of the church community. She began this venture in 1984 and
continued for 15 years with only brief lapses for illness and Paul’s death
in 1996. She wrote her last “Joyous
Echoes” in October 1999, just a month before her death. Marge used her talents to become a noted
writer who shared her thoughts and ideas joyfully with others. Her writings are a beautiful legacy. I hope you will remember my mother and
enjoy reading “Joyous Echoes” of our past.
