Members of the Immanuel (Olivette) Confirmation Class of 1952 celebrated their 65th anniversary this year. Rev. Walter J. Hoffmann confirmed 19 students on Palm Sunday in 1952. Of those, three are now deceased and three could not be located. The remaining 13 members of the class were invited to worship at Immanuel in the 10:30 a.m. service on May 28th and then gathered for a picnic at the home of Cathy Trower for a time of reminiscing and getting reacquainted. Some had not seen each other for 60 years or more. Read more . . .
