Thanks to members of Hardin United Methodist Church, a special piece of history has a permanent home at Lakeview.  The original church bell from the Lodi church in the North District was given to Lakeview a couple of years ago.  Since then, the bell has sat on the porch of Peace Chapel where it was admired and often rang by many campers.  After their youth group completed a work project to create new sidewalks around Peace Chapel, Hardin UMC workers noticed the bell and decided it needed a permanent home.  And so church members got together and constructed a beautiful tower.

Below are pictures of the bell and tower taken during the erection and dedication on Saturday, March 14th.  Members of Hardin UMC joined some Lakeview employees for the ceremony in spite of the rain and cold temperatures.

Thanks, Hardin United Methodist Church!
