Rev. John Parbst memorial
John was Keith's much loved pastor in Sacred Heart, and pastor to Keith and Bev for a short time at Bethlehem Lutheran. Keith's parents, Carl and Carolyn Anderson of Sacred Heart, had great respect for John's service as pastor of Trinity Lutheran in Sacred Heart. Carolyn, who lived to be 100 years plus two months was particularly close to John and Adie during those years and hated to have them move on in their ministry. A memorial gift has been given to Augsburg College.
