In a country that commemorates the 25th or 50th anniversary of an event. Palm Valley Lutheran Church has a special distinction. On November 8. 2015. it celebrates its 145th anniversary of ministry to the growing town of Round Rock. Texas. In the early 1850s a small number of Swedish immigrants began settling in an area known then as "Brushy." located a few miles east of the present day town of Round Rock. Although there was neither a Swedish Lutheran Church nor pastor in all of Texas at that time. these hardworking pioneers met together in a local cabin for prayer. Bible reading. and singing of hymns.
