Sunday forenoon Rev. Arnold Woodring will preach his 'Farewell' sermon to parishioners of the Alliance Church, Owen (Clark Co., Wis.), a parish he has served the past seven and one-half years.

On the 26th of July he accepted a call to assume pastorate of the Alliance Church at Menomonie.

During his tenure here he led the Curtiss congregation in the construction of their new sanctuary. At Owen the congregation has landscaped the church and parsonage grounds, installed a new heating system, painted and re-decorated the interior of the church.

Meanwhile, in addition to his pastoral duties, Rev. Woodring had been active in community activities and recently completed a three year term on the Owen-Withee Board of Education.

He will be receiving his many friends at an 'Open House' to which they are all invited at the parish hall from 2 to 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
