Pullman Church Dedicated

Sat., Sept. 25, 1999

Compiled By Nina Culver

St. James Episcopal church in Pullman will dedicate and consecrate its new sanctuary at 10 a.m. today - 43 years after it was begun.

The church, 1410 N.E. Stadium Way, was overly ambitious and never completed the sancutary, said the Rev. Armand Larive.

Since 1956, services have been held in what was meant to be the parish hall. The nave, sanctuary, offices and restrooms were never completed - until now. ((509) 332-1742)
