The quonset hut erected in 1958 to serve as the chapel for St. Augustine’s was recently demolished. It was a humble building with a small pipe organ and simple appointments, but it served well for more than 40 years as a place of worship.
A new chapel is now in use serving ‘The Fellowship of St. Augustine’s.? The chapel is located on East Drahner Road, 2 1/2 miles east of M-24 between Barr and Hosner Roads.
It’s the only Lutheran Monastery in the United States and many people go there for retreats in the Guest House.
A Lutheran service is offered every Sunday at 10 a.m. to which the public is invited.
The site that the old quonset hut chapel occupied will be converted into a contemplative garden.
