A Film featuring ALC members of The Silent Generation (1929-1945)

Posted on November 4, 2018 | Posted by Mary Stoneback

On Sunday November 4 Ascension Lutheran Church remembered all those living and no longer living with us who have impacted our lives. As a part of our Celebration of the Generations happening at Ascension, we also celebrated a part of the saints among us here at Ascension, The Silent Generation, also known as The Builders, born from 1929-1945. Member from this generation were invited to reflect on what life was like for them growing up and their thoughts on their faith journey. Several of them reflected on camera. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into the lives of this special group of people here at Ascension.
