ULEN, Minn. — It has been an incredible summer for Bethlehem Lutheran in Ulen.
It was back in 1876 that Scandinavian settlers to Clay County started the church.
This month, Bethlehem marked 150 years.
Former pastors joined the congregation in a big celebration Sunday, June 14.
There was a special art installation, music, a program marking the history of the church in Ulen and, of course, a meal.
The church was packed as the town of Ulen honored the past and embraced the future.
