Ironwood - Local churches celebrated Easter Sunday yesterday. Many churches in the area held Mass along with an Easter breakfast.
The St. Paul Lutheran Church had a large turnout for their annual Easter brunch. The church has been holding the event for over 18 years.
Many members of the church brought in a dish to be served at the brunch. Carolyn Johnson, Sherron Olexa, and Kathy Vaara prepared the dishes and tables for serving while Mass was being held. Egg plates, fruit salads, casseroles, desserts, and drinks were all offered.
"Our Easter brunch is a blessing to those who have no family nearby and to those who come from afar." Church member Andrea Alleva, a teacher from the Wakefield-Marenisco school said. Many members expressed their appreciation for the chance to spend time socializing.
A small donation was accepted at the breakfast. Proceeds will go towards funding for the church's youth group members to attend the Fortune Lake Lutheran Camp this summer.
