Conclusion

The writer of this festival book gathered the material for it from notes of his predecessors in the office and from the minutes, bits and pieces he learned from older members and carefully arranged and assembled everything as best he could. If some inaccuracies or even mistakes have crept in or noteworthy happenings have been left out, it is hoped that this will be forgiven.

These pages do not claim to do anything more than give a compilation of the oft-experienced, immeasurable acts of grace from our Lord who despite all our human faults and frailties in the past did not tire of us. From this we learn henceforth to appreciate God's goodness and faithfulness evermore and with his help may we grow more and more to the perfect life in Christ.

The Lord our God, who alone we honor and worship may in his grace forgive us all our trespasses and failures. May he further his work among us so that his kingdom may come to us, his Word be forever taught pure and clear and may we all live by it in holiness as God's children forever. Help us to do this, dear Father in heaven.
