NOVEMBER 12, 1972

About 150 people attended a dedication service yesterday in St. John’s Lutheran Church, North Street, Jim Thorpe.

A new chancel window was dedicated to the memory of Mr. and Mrs. James P. Bennyhoff. The window was given to the church by their son, Luther Bennyhoff, of Florida. Bennyhoff is a former choir director at the church, while his parents were member of the congregation when the church was built in 1924.

Although Bennyhoff was unable to attend the ceremony, about 25 friends and relatives of the family were present for the dedication.

The Rev. William J. Leifeld, pastor, conducted the ceremony and spoke on the theme “The Reigning Christ.”
