Messiah Lutheran Church in Urbana will celebrate with a mortgage burning on July 14. The new church was built 20 years ago after the congregation left the previous structure on West Court Street. Some key architectural concepts and artistic elements of the old church building were brought from Court Street to East Lawn Avenue. The stained glass window was moved from the old church building to the new one.
