We have a Lutheran Church in the village of Shishmaref.
The original church was built in the 1930s, but the current structure in much newer. There are three services each week: Sunday at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m and Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Interim pastors are currently ministering to the
congregation as the permanent pastor passed away in October.
We enjoy the services.
Shishmaref Lutheran Church sits on one of the highest points on
Sarichef Island in the village of Shishmaref.
The banner is made from the skin of a spotted seal.
The cross is made of walrus ivory.
Purple (or blue) is the color for advent.
The church is ready for Advent.
The church entry.
Shishmaref Cemetery is located on the east side of the church.
The back of the church and the bell tower.
I joined some of my students and sang in the choir.
The Eskimo people love to sing!!
