On November 16, the church was completed and O. Heggemeier installed as pastor. A noon dinner was held at the Deutsche Verein Halle. All of the Payette ministers were guests at the afternoon services, which service was held in English. The amount of the first collection in the newly completed church was $160.17. This amount was applied on thechurch debt. During the services, Edna Henrietta Creswell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Creswell, was baptized. This was the first baptism in the new church.
