Every church confirmation class has its picture taken, but this 1945 group from Christ Lutheran Church in Kulpsville seemed to enjoy the occasion more than most.

And, as officials from the church have noted, since the church is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year, more smiles are in order.

In this photo, we see:

Front row: Elwood Groff, Pastor Homer Weaver and Charles Stahl.

Second row: Howard Godshall, Robert Bergey, Roland Kerr, Stanley Musselman and Harold Fritz.

Back row: Gerald Heckler, Donald Dager, Ken Ritter, Robert Lutz and Wilmer Hedrick.

The photo was submitted by the church’s 175th Anniversary Ministry Committee.
