“Pohocco Church, South of City Observes Double Anniversary” –(Fremont Newspaper – May 1950)
On May 9, it will be 55 years since the congregation was organized under the leadership of Rev. A. Kirkegaard, and this past Christmas, it was 50 years ago that the present church was built and dedicated.
Rev. Adolph Kloth of First Lutheran church is also pastor of the Pohocco Church.
During the 55 years 12 pastors have served the congregation. They are A. Kirkegaard, A.W. Lund, C.C. Kloth, E.R. Andersen, M.T. Jensen, James C. Petersen, N.B. Hansen, F.C. Schuldt, C.O.Gulleen, F.G. Rasmussen, M.C. Hagedorn and the present pastor.
During most of the 55 years the small parish had only irregular service. Since 1946, however, there have been regular services every Sunday morning. The women’s group meets twice a month, and Sunday school follows the regular weekly service. Youth work of the parish is done in collaboration with that of First Lutheran Church.
The church has recently been completely redecorated, making it one of the several well-maintained open country churches in this vicinity.
The anniversary program Sunday, to which the public is invited, is, 10 a.m. , divine service with sermon by former pastor James C. Peterson, offering for his traveling expenses; 12 noon, fellowship dinner served by women of the church; 2:30 p.m., informal service at which Reverend Peterson again will preach, offering for the redecorating fund.
