Anniversary celebrations in Windsor

WINDSOR, Ont. – From June 6-8, 2025, First Lutheran Church and Christian Academy celebrated their 105^th and 30^th anniversaries respectively. The weekend started off at the school with live music, tree planting, speeches, food, beverages, and lots of fun, laughs, and even some happy tears. The courtyard was packed with lots of students, past and present, as well as many from the congregation, friends, and family. 

On Saturday, events moved to the church where attendees celebrated 105 years of God’s providence; this was meant to be celebrated in 2020 for the 100^th and came back bigger and better in 2025! 

Those in attendance enjoyed a nine-foot charcuterie board, greetings from Mayor Drew Dilkens, Counsellor Renaldo Agostino, FLC’s pastor Rev. Robert Bugbee, East Regional Pastor Rev. Marvin Bublitz, and many others. 

The event was catered, with special memorabilia for purchase, and a large stroll down memory lane with many photos and old items lovingly dug out of homes and the church and beautifully arranged. Some danced the night away under an outdoor tent with music playing from the band Big Louie on a warm and beautiful night. 

Sunday morning was the finale to a marvelous weekend! East Regional Pastor Bublitz spoke and communion was celebrated as a church family during the German service. Everyone enjoyed one last moment with so many friends past and present that joined this special event.

God was evident that weekend, just as He has been for the past 105 years. And the church and school look forward to what He’s currently doing and will do in the next 105 years!
