Pastor Birkholz baptized me and confirmed me. He and his dear Lila were a big part of the Tjernagel kids' early years. We rejoice with the family that Pastor B. has finally reunited with his loving Savior and loving wife! Our sympathies to you.

I wish to extend my sympathy to the family of Pastor Martin Birkholz. My dad used to cut his hair at his shop in Mankato.
I recall attending Vacation Bible School with St.Mark's students in early years and also enjoying Collegiates as it was called in the late 50's.
