Sarpsborg

Replica of Sarpsborg Church 
Organized in 1872 - Destroyed by fire in 1986
Replica was built by Gilbert Odegaard and
was presented in memory of former Sarpsborg members.

Sarpsborg Church - this is the second
church building - built in 1892.

I have strong ties to Sarpsborg -
I was baptized there.
My great-grandparents, grandparents,
uncles, aunts and Mom were all members there.
My parents were married there.

I always considered Sarpsborg my
"Second Church"
