The living room of the 100-year-old parsonage of the Bethel Evangelical and Reformed Church at 10425 Bethel Church Rd., Freedom township, is seen above through the arch from the dining room. The interior is modern in every sense of the word. The exterior shows the old features. Not the metal "gingerbread" on the roof. The home is occupied by the Rev. and Mrs. Theophil W. Menzel.

Church Up In The Air A construction worker operates a bulldozer under St. Thomas Lutheran Church, 10001 W. Ellsworth Rd., Freedom Township, to dig a basement under the structure that was built in 1874. Railroad ties are supporting the building. The basement will house a fellowship-Sunday School hall, kitchen and storage area. At ground level, a new entry way and cloak room will be added at one side of the chancel and a vestry and sacristy at the other. Waldemar Haab of 3710 Pleasant Lake Rd. is general contractor for the project which is scheduled for completion at the end of June. The congregation is worshipping in the Pleasant Lake School Auditorium.
