Sligh took place on the fifth of September with J. P. Smeltzer preaching the sermon, "thou art Peter, and Upon this rock will I build my church." The dedication was followed by Communion, with a large crowd in attendance. A debt of $100.00 still remaining on the church was eliminated by a collection. The church was built by the membership alone under the direction of Mr. Henry Cannon who was a member of the church and a contractor by tradeSeptember 1980 marks 100 years that Mt. Tabor Lutheran Church has been in existence.
