When Will 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' Season 20 Be on Hulu?
By Josh Sorokach Twitter @joshsorokach Mar 18, 2021 at 12:30pm
It's the beginning of the end for a reality stalwart.
After over 250 episodes of laughs, drama, and memorable moments, reality TV fans are preparing to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Back in September of 2020, it was announced that the twentieth season of the immensely popular series would be its last. In the final season, the family is faced with life-altering decisions about their future while navigating a global pandemic. The NBC synopsis for the final season previews "new babies, cross-country moves, fractured relationships, and difficult farewells" as the family embarks on one last journey.
What time does Keeping Up With the Kardashians come on tonight? When will KUWTK Season 20 be on Hulu? Here's everything you need to know.
WHEN DOES KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS COME BACK ON?
The Season 20 premiere of Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs tonight (March 18, 2021) on E!.
WHAT TIME DOES KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS COME ON?
Tonight's season premiere airs from 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET on E!.
KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS SEASON 20: HOW TO WATCH LIVE:
If you have a valid cable login, you can watch the new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians live on the NBC website or the E! app. You can also find a KUWTK live stream with an active subscription to fuboTV, Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or AT&T TV Now.
WILL KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS SEASON 20 BE ON HULU?
Keeping Up With the Kardashians Season 20 will eventually be available to stream on Hulu, but, unfortunately, the series isn't available for next-day streaming on the service. New episodes of KUWTK will, however, be available for next-day streaming (with a cable login) on NBC.com.
WHEN WILL KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS SEASON 20 BE ON HULU?
No official release date has been announced but based on recent history, we have a pretty good idea of when to expect the season to drop on Hulu.
Season 15 of KUWTK: Ended on December 9, 2018/Arrived on Hulu March 9, 2019
Season 17 of KUWTK: Concluded on December 15, 2019/Arrived on Hulu March 14, 2020
Season 19 of KUWTK: Ended on November 12, 2020/Premiered on Hulu February 16, 2021
New seasons of KUWTK tend to premiere on Hulu about three months after the final episode of the season airs on E!. We expect a similar timetable for the final season.
WILL KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS SEASON 20 BE ON PEACOCK?
Even though Seasons 1-19 are available, the new season won't be available for next-day streaming on Peacock.

The Religion of Technology
October 8, 2011 December 2, 2011 ~ L. M. Sacasas
In the Introduction to The Religion of Technology (1997) historian David Noble writes,
"With the approach of the new millennium, we are witness to two seemingly incompatible enthusiasms, on the one hand a widespread infatuation with technological advance and a confidence in the ultimate triumph of reason, on the other a resurgence of fundamentalist faith akin to a religious revival."
Noble believes that this will strike many readers as an incongruous juxtaposition. On the one hand, it had been assumed by Enlightenment types that the advance of technology (and science) went hand in hand with the retreat of religious belief. The plot, however, turned out to be more complex. "Today," Noble continues, "we are seeing the simultaneous flourishing of both, not only side by side but hand in hand."
This should not surprise us according to Noble. It is, and this is his thesis in brief, "a continuation of a thousand-year-old Western tradition in which the advance of the useful arts was inspired by and grounded upon religious expectation."
On the other hand, "Some contemporary observers have argued … that the resurgence of religious expression testifies to the spiritual sterility of technological rationality, that religious belief is now being renewed as a necessary complement to instrumental reason …" But this view also wrongly assumes a "basic opposition" between technology and religion.
Against this assumption of opposition, Noble argues the following:
"… modern technology and modern faith are neither complements nor opposites, nor do they represent succeeding stages of human development. They are merged, and always have been, the technological enterprise being, at the same time, an essentially religious endeavor.
This is not meant in a merely metaphorical sense, to suggest that technology is similar to religion in that it evokes religious emotions of omnipotence, devotion, and awe, or that it has become a new (secular) religion in and of itself, with its own clerical caste, arcane rituals, and articles of faith. Rather it is meant literally and historically, to indicate that modern technology and religion have evolved together and that, as a result, the technological enterprise has been and remains suffused with religious belief."
Noble goes on to add that nowhere is this more evident than in the United States where "an unrivaled popular enchantment with technological advance is matched by an equally earnest popular expectation of Jesus Christ's return." What is often missed, according to Noble, is that these are often the same people.
Lastly, the suffusion of technology with religious faith manifests itself when
"we routinely expect more from our artificial contrivances than mere convenience, comfort, or even survival. We demand deliverance. This is apparent in our virtual obsession with technological development, in our extravagant anticipations of every new technical advance — however much each fails to deliver on its promise — and, most important, in our utter inability to think and act rationally about this presumably most rational of human endeavors."

5 thoughts on "The Religion of Technology"
randomyriad says:
I am wondering what he has to say about the Catholic Church's reign of terror over the advancement of technology during the dark ages and the persecution of Galileo. What about the climate change deniers most of them are religious. I would say that people that are into technology may be religious in their acceptance of technological innovation but organized religion has often been opposed to scientific progress. Is he saying that religious people use computers? Fundamentalism in any context has to do with going back not forward.
Well, I think he would say that it is all a bit more complicated than that. Perhaps distinguishing between science and technology is the first consideration. The Galileo affair, at least as it is popularly understood (a mostly ideological affair) is an episode in the relationship between science and theology. Noble is interested in the less commented upon relationship between technology and religion (in the West, which amounts to Christianity). The opening chapters of Noble's book are a chronology of the theological origins of technological development beginning around the tenth century. The monasteries, for example, where seedbeds of technological innovation (watermills, windmills, glasses, mechanisms for metal-forging, mechanical clock, spring wheels, etc.). He then proceeds to the religious motivations operating among many of the early modern promoters and developers of technology (e.g., Francis Bacon, Robert Boyle, etc.). Following historian Lynn White's work on medieval technology, Noble more or less argues that the explosion of technological innovation in the West is owed in part to the particular theological climate of the late Middle Ages.
This also reminds me of a great quote from new media scholar Henry Jenkins:
"Evangelical Christians have been key innovators in their use of emerging media technologies, tapping every available channel in their effort to spread the Gospel around the world. I often tell students that the history of new media has been shaped again and again by four key innovative groups – evangelists, pornographers, advertisers, and politicians, each of whom is constantly looking for new ways to interface with their public."
Kathleen Schmitt says:
For most of history, it seems to me, religion has been central in the advance of knowledge. As you say, Michael, the monks were developing all kinds of things. I believe they were also into medicine and herbal remedies. Certainly religion tried to block developments that appeared to go against doctrine, as in the case of Galileo who challenged the basic world view of Judeo-Christian faith. At the same time even Darwin did not have in mind tearing the two disciplines apart, although he certainly must have been cautious in what he said and published and I think eventually he did give up his faith — and possibly this was his response to the outcry from the church of his time . But this separation is largely a twentieth century thing when people's view of authority changed from religious doctrine to a rational methodology that became authoritative in and of itself. But still many scientists continued and do today being persons of faith and see strong relationships between their work and their religious world view. For these people the discoveries of science expand our understanding of God's universe. I do, of course, have a scientist friend who told me his scientist friends sneer at his church-going, and I'm sure quite a few people have similar attitudes. Still, a concurrent movement continues of theologians who study and include science in their world views. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a Catholic scholar is one of the earlier ones. Diarmuid O'Murchu is another. J. C. Polkinghorne is another. And so on. Unfortunately, about technological developments, I know much less, and continue to read with interest.
As your comments suggest, it is a complicated relationship to be sure. Part of the complexity arises from the vagueness of the word "religion" when we're talking about religion and science. One may be better off talking about more concrete and particular cases. At any rate, certainly alongside those who have taken a more oppositional stance (and they seem to get most of the attention), there have been many who have sought and lived with a synthesis of some sort. Francis Collins comes to mind along with those you've mentioned. And ne need look no further than Francis Bacon for a religious inspired vision of technological progress.

For a long time, one could hear only the birds chirping and kids playing in Ph I of WaterColor. Now, more and more of the home sites are being filled in with new homes. These new homes are going up next to the Post Office and are a sign of the rest of WaterColor, where numerous homes are currently under construction and being planned. Ahh, the sound of hammers in WaterColor is a sweet sound again. All phases of WaterColor are experiencing new construction. Chances are, if a year has passed since you were last here, you will not recognize Ph IV with all the new homes, and you will enjoy more architectural beauty in Ph II and III as well.

The yearly vertebrate field course is coming up in about a month, and we've started some more serious planning for it. One thing I am thinking about is the best way to try and teach people how to use some simple GIS and statistics programs, possibly while in a cook tent in the field, with everyone on their own laptops of every variety. I have been tinking of setting up a small server and local network that everyone can get on as a way to share information quickly, without resorting to swapping usb keys. I had the idea of getting something like a Eee or Acer Aspire One and turning it into a server, and using a cheap wireless router (we have an old one in the lab, but they only cost $25 anyhow) to set it up. I suppose I probably could go without the router, but it might make things easier than also trying to deal with setting up an ad hoc network on the server. I thought that by using something small and low powered like an Atom processor based netbook, we wouldn't have to worry about power draw or even if it gets broken, as they're so cheap. As it is, it would only really be used as a file server and not be doing much number crunching itself, so I would think it should work fine (if a little slowly).
Once the server part is set up, I need to get everyone with a copy of R and Quantum GIS on their own laptops. With QGIS everyone can access and view mapfiles I'll have on the mini-server, and even update things if I want to let them if we find new localities. They can also use their own computers to download any old localities to their GPS units, instead of me doing it all. As for R, We can have an "Intro to R" session and get everyone running the same data set (preferably of something we have found in the field) and then get everyone to even upload their finished results to the server to be marked if we're really ambitious.
However, if this whole idea doesn't pan out so well, I'm still playing around with creating live USB keys for everyone to boot into. It's easy enough to create them now with Ubuntu 9.04, but the only thing I need to figure out is how to get it to work with OS X. I thought as well about live CDs with the additional components, but then there is an issue of data permanence, as well as problems with computer speed. As well, if people start showingup with netbooks, CDs won't work anyhow. At any rate, one of these ideas should work.

Since the day I started watching Youtube videos, someone has always been talking about the Smashbox Primers, and I got my fair share of the cute minis from the It's Your Prime set this Christmas. It contains 3 of their primers, 2 well-loved staples, and one new release. I'll give you the low down on the trio.
Photo Finish Foundation Primer: This is the one that everyone talks about, but also the one which some people don't like. I'm fairly sure it is silicon based, which breaks out a handful of people, but I am yet to experience that *touches wooden desk*. For me, I wouldn't say this dramatically increases the longevity of my makeup, just more so helps it wear off more evenly, so I don't have any weird marks where it settles.
Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer: This was the exciting newly released one, which isn't like many others on the market. This primes the under eye area, in order to prevent concealer creasing or drying out too much. I do really like this, and I find that concealer does apply and wear much better on top.
Photo Finish Lid Primer: For some reason, I am a lover of eye primers and I always want to buy more. This one though, makes me want to buy the full size (maybe my purse wouldn't agree). This is a lid primer which mattifies the surface, smooths, and blanks any colour out, and creates the perfect base for shadows. I definitely find that this guy makes my eye makeup wear for so much longer, without any signs of creasing. I am using this sparingly, because the pot is so diddy, and I love this stuff. Maybe I will fork out the £15 for a repurchase one day.
So, I am sitting on the fence with some, and totally smitten by others, but who would say no to cute little minis like these?
I need to try these primers great review!
I really need to pick these up!

4 Useful Knots Everyone Should Know How to Tie!
The ability to tie various knots is a useful skill to have in the home, garden, when fishing, camping or taking part in other outdoor activities. You may have learned how to tie knots in the Scouts, Girl Guides or at summer camp, but by this stage the steps involved in tying them may be a dim distant memory! There are probably 50 or more types, however this guide concentrates on four useful knots and how to tie them.
What Are the Most Useful Knots?
If someone asks you to tie a knot, this is probably what you would tie. An overhand knot can slip though, especially if the cord/rope is made from low friction slippery material. Therefore it can become undone and is unsuitable and potentially dangerous in many applications.
Ignore the pins in the photos which I used to hold the cords in position. I only had two hands to operate the camera and needed some assistance!
A reef or square knot is useful for joining two ropes together. However it is only reliable and safe if the two ropes are of similar diameter.
To tie the knot, remember "right over left and under, then left over right and under" as described in the photos below.
A sheet bend knot is safer than a reef knot for joining together two ropes or cords of differing diameter.
A bowline knot can be used to create a loop at the end of the cable. The loop doesn't pull tight when tension is put on the rope. A variation of this is the "bowline-on-a-bight" which is tied in the same way but the rope is doubled over initially. This results in two loops and can be used for hauling up something from the ground.
An excellent Ladybird book showing how to tie lots more knots than described in this article. Out of print know, but still available new or second hand. I bought this as a child 40 years ago and it's one of my favourite Ladybird titles in my collection, which I still occasionally reference.
Thanks a lot for the comments. Glad you liked it!
Great hub with terrific how to instructions, thanks for sharing!
I can knot believe they were knot detailed enough!
Voted Uop, useful, interesting and depending on your reply maybe Funny.
Hi Patsy. Thanks for the kind comments and glad you found it useful!
I really like this hub. I can use several of these knots in the garden. Your photos are very helpful. Voted up and useful. I like your style.
Thanks Angelo! Glad it was of use!
Nice articles on tying these knots. The photo step-by-step was very useful. Voted up and sharing.
Glad you liked this moonlake! Thanks for the comments!
Very good information. Your pictures are great they really help. Voted up and Shared.
Thanks Marcy and forall. I had sort of forgotten how to tie the sheet bend and had to look up my "Ladybird" book on knots which I got when I was 11. I knew it would come in handy someday!
I have always wondered how some of these knots were made, and what they were called! I wasn't lucky enough to be in a scouting program, so this was very interesting to read. Thanks! Voted up!
Great hub. I like the tips you shared. Well explaining pictures. Voted up, interesting and useful.


Make 2016 the year of mathematical stories. Relatively Prime: Season 3, this year we go monthly!
Season one of Relatively Prime was released in 2012 and had stories about checkers, survival housing, swine flu, juggling, a Spanish basilica, and an alien civilization in England and Season two is still in the middle of being released featuring stories about gerrymandering, how to mathematically cut cakes, and readings of mathematical fiction.. Now the creator, Samuel Hansen, wants to make season 3, but this time he wants to try something different.
For the first two seasons we reached the Kickstarter's goal and then Samuel retreated to his cave for months and months to make the show. Which is all well and good but, what were you supposed to do in the long mathless months waiting for episodes to start? Especially as we all knew that once they did show up all the mathematical stories were going to be gone less than two months.
That is why this year Relatively Prime goes monthly. That's right, 12 new episodes of Relatively Prime for your mathematical enjoyment, and the first episode will come out March 31st, just one month after the final episode of Season two. So not only no waiting around this time, but you can be assured of great mathematical content on the last Thursday of the next 12 months when you back this Kickstarter.
Did an act of mathematical vandalism help liberate algebra from the shackles of arithmetic?
How do you design a lottery to fairly distribute licenses to marijuana dispensaries?
Why did Rally teams love an old mechanical calculator?
What do you do when you prove a 300 year old conjecture, but other human's can't verify your proof?
Can computers write short stories, compose sonnet, or DJ a club as well as a human?
The schedule is not the only change Samuel has planned for season 3 either. He is also excited to be working with some new collaborators, like Anna Haensch and Annie Rorem from The Other Half to help bring a greater diversity of voices and stories to the show.
Relatively Prime is a small show with huge ambitions, and Season 3 is by far the most ambitious so far. Please help us tell these wonderful mathematical stories.
If you want more than just the warm feeling of knowing that you helped create more awesome mathematical content for the world to consume you are in luck because with your support comes the chance to get one, or many, of these rewards.
Samuel will send you a postcard in one of the places where he goes to get an interview.
Your voice will feature in one of the episodes reading credits for the show.
Samuel will call you up and interview you. He will then burn that interview onto a CD, draw some album art on it, and send it to you.
Samuel will send you one page of the scribbled on, annotated, and actually used scripts that he will use to produce the episodes.
Samuel will produce a story for you on a topic of your own choosing. Samuel will work with you to make sure that the topic is one that is feasible to cover, and just like the ads or voiceover basic decency rules are in effect, but other than that feel free to make Samuel create a story on whatever you desire.
Exactly what it sounds like, except beyond just making sure that everyone gets yet more awesome Relatively Prime to listen to Samuel will work with you to develop the theme for the episode, determine the best people to interview, and make production decision like music choice and story ordering.
*This is not really limited to a single day. If you support at this level Samuel would be more than happy to teach a week long workshop on producing math and science media for your University. The only catch is for stays longer than one day housing of some sort(including couches or floors on which to crash) would need to the provided.
If the goal is met the money will be used to cover the expenses of creating a 12 episode series. These expense include equipment, travel, hosting, freelance fees, research materials, Samuel's salary, and extra white board markers.
If more than 750 people back the new series one of the wonderful people behind the video above, Rob Schultz, will do an animated mathematics story.
If we raise double the goal a video version of one of the episodes will be created.
Credit for the video goes to the wonderful Rob Schultz, Lewis Sequeira, and Natalie Hazen.
We have not finalized the stories or interviewees so the content of the shows could change between now and release. Scheduling interviews can be tough, and depending on availability an episode could be released late if getting the perfect person requires some wait.
Your name on the Season 3 Funders List and a hearty thank you!
Access to the RelPrime Extra Feed, featuring bonus content like full length interviews and interesting asides which do not fit into the show, as well as your name on the Funders List.
Kickstarter only Relatively Prime Pin, and the rewards from the previous levels.
Samuel will send you a postcard from an interview city and early access to the episodes, along with all the previous rewards.

Being a free open-source PHP web framework, Laravel is also considered as the most advanced and latest platform used to develop robust mobile applications like never before. Now in order to develop any mobile app, it is very important to check the suitable software which will take less time resulting in high revenue cycle. But first, you need to build an appropriate business strategy. Speaking of Laravel framework, in particular, it provides you high development speed, less reviewing time, more revenue with the extreme flexibility. Its key feature includes a trouble less and compact fewer syntaxes for coding purposes. And that's why it completes the development in a couple of time.
Middleware works as filter for the http requests in the Laravel. Speaking of its working, it works in two different ways. First, in case, if the user is not authenticated for the operation then it takes the user to the login screen but if it is authenticated than it gives permission to access the other mobile applications as well. What I mean is the main user depends upon the authentication. Besides, if the user is authorized then he can use the functionality of the applications.
Now when you know that you need to be authenticated to operate the applications then it is very important to take the authentication from the appropriate source. When it comes to Laravel, requesting authentication in Laravel is very easy and flawless. In fact, there is a direct file available @ config/auth.php. This configured file contains all the documented options to complete the authentication soon. Laravel provides you the authentication very soon than other platforms to develop your applications and it is very user friendly as well.
The service container of laravel provides you straightforward class dependencies. These are injected inside the class via different methods. Now since it is user friendly, it allows to insert the class dependencies facile and let to perform the operation of dependency injection. In fact, you will find many setter methods in laravel which is widely used for this purpose. This makes the coding very elementary and takes less time to complete the development, which results in high revenue cycle and release cycle.
There is a feature called localization in laravel which helps to operate on multiple languages while inserting the strings in the framework for development purpose. We can retrieve the strings in different languages. So that you can easily enter more and more multiple languages inside your apps. The language strings are already present inside the file of laravel so no need to research for it. This platform is very simple to be operated for the developers.
Events in general are stored crucially inside the apps to remind us about the same. You will find a strong functionality for the events inserted inside the apps or the laravel itself. You can either subscribe for the events or listen to it inside the apps. In this way we come to know about the events which are worth to be listen. Events are either stored in dictionary or in the app itself.
We being a Laravel development company can assure you that the framework can give you all the comfort zone to do the plain coding with high-level features.


At its simplest, CMS is an acronym for a "content management system". But inherent within a CMS, there is more – CMS is not only about a system or piece of software, it's also about a Strategy and about Services.

Throughout the first decade of the new century, Jamie McLean played guitar in beloved New Orleans institution the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. For the last several years, McLean has served as guitarist for another Crescent City legend, Aaron Neville. But alongside those duties McLean has long since established himself as a singer and songwriter in his own right. Touring in support of One and Only, the latest album from the Jamie McLean Band, the guitarist played at Asheville, N.C.'s Isis Music Hall on September 12.
But he notes that for whatever reason, there was a gap of a few years when he didn't play here. "But then last year, we played the Diana Wortham Theatre with Marc Broussard," he recalls. "That was a sold-out show; people came up to the merch table afterwards and asked, 'When's the next one?' So we quickly turned around and booked a show at Isis in May of this year." And he's coming back again.
Partly through his work with the DDBB, McLean has strong connections to the jam band scene. But the strong thread that runs through his work—especially on his studio albums—is an emphasis on concise songwriting. " More than anything, I feel that the songs are the strongest part," he says. "I always want to focus my energy on that." He offers the example of one of his favorite artists, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. "They're a prime example of a really great band with great songs," he says. "They could be concise on an album, and then go rock the songs on stage. And that's something we're shooting for.
"But really, more than anything, I'm trying to focus on writing great songs," McLean says.
In pursuit of that goal, the guitarist tries to create music that feeds listeners three ways. "The saxophone player for the Dirty Dozen used to say the band gives you something for the mind, for the body, and the soul," McLean says. "And the biggest part of that is the soul." He notes that hasn't always fully appreciated those values.
And that feeling is something McLean tries to convey with his songwriting as well. Though he typically writes alone, in the months before making One and Only, he decided to try a different approach, co-writing. So he headed to Nashville.

In addition to Don Imus himself, the hip-hop community has felt the heat for, many people claim, setting up a situation that would make the ousted shock-jock think that it was okay to use the now infamous slur against the Rutgers women's basketball team.
Today, Russell Simmons and his group, Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN), released a statement saying that forums and coalitions should be created to establish standards and open the lines of communication, and "b***h," "ho," and "n****r" should be omitted voluntarily by the recording and broadcasting industries because they're offensive. However, he doesn't outright condemn the language because he doesn't want to step on the First Amendment. This, says Simmons, is in keeping with the level of CSR that the industry should maintain.
What about the level of responsibility hip-hop should maintain? In other words, keep saying what you say, hip-hop artists, and let the onus for change fall on the industry. This is a way for HSAN to respond to criticism of hip-hop without offending the artists that the group calls friends and colleagues; a way to sit on the fence. We acknowledge that these words hurt women and people of color, they're saying, but go ahead and continue to say whatever offensive nonsense you want because it's freedom of speech. We know that something's gotta buy that bling.
Certain hip-hop artists, like many other artists, continue to use strong language to make a point about very real social and cultural issues, or in ways that aren't meant to demean others. But that's not the case with many of the artists that populate MTV, BET, and other media. My hope is that the backlash against the hip-hop community continues until each artist begins reaching for a level of personal responsibility to meet the corporate social responsibility HSAN claims to be seeking.

The story of Peace Lutheran Church began on April 25, 1982. Ascension (ALC) and Alleluia! Lutheran Church (AELC) joined together as Peace Lutheran Church. The name was chosen by the congregation reflecting their desire to be instrumental in uniting two Christian churches, each with its own cultures and traditions.
THE REVEREND WILLIAM BOYS
The Rev. William Boys became Peace's first pastor, faithfully serving the church for the next 16 years (1982-1998). He and his wife Ruth, were a significant factor in the successful merging of these two congregations. Shortly after the founding of Peace, the Adult Choir was formed with Marlene Klukken directing. The next year the first Christmas cantata was performed with performances each year for the nest thirty years. The music program continues to provide an important element in worship, in outreach and in the development of musicians in the church.
THE CHURCH OF THE BENT CROSS
Good Friday, April 5, 1985, was a dark and stormy night. A powerful straight-line wind struck the church, blowing out electrical transformers, slamming open the church doors, lifting the roof slightly, and sandblasting every car of the choir members warming up for the Good Friday service. At that time, the original building was small and unimpressive, but had a very tall steel beam white cross in the parking lot in front of it. This was a local landmark. The wind bent the cross over so that about six feet from the ground it was horizontal. The church temporarily was known in the local press as the "church of the bent cross.
In April of 1987 Peace celebrated its fifth anniversary as a congregation. That fall on Thanksgiving weekend, a number of members of the congregation spent their extended weekend renovating the chancel of the church
PEACE GROWS
Ground was broken on January 31, 1988, for a narthex and a new Sunday School addition. The front doors originally opened directly into the sanctuary and the attendant weather and noise, and any social interactions had to take place right in the worship space. Sunday School classes were conducted in separate areas of the sanctuary and in small side rooms behind folding doors. The resulting cacophony was not conducive to teaching, learning or preparing for a worship service. The new addition was greeted with real joy by the congregation for now there was a new entrance beneath a tower topped with a part of the original steel cross, a front elevation that actually looked like a church, a narthex for fellowship, three new Sundays school classrooms (plus renovations which added two more), a small assembly room, enlarged bathrooms and a large nursery. The church was growing and the physical plant reflected the growth.
As the church grew, more Sunday School space was needed for both children and adults. Additionally, the very small pastor's office in the church was not adequate, nor was there space for a much-needed church secretary. In November, 1991, the house behind the church was put on the market. As soon as this was known, the Council met and called a special congregational meeting where it was decided to purchase the property. Thus, the house behind the church, designated the "church house," became the home for adult education classes, the youth group, the pastor's office and the new secretary's office. It also served as a fellowship space for church gatherings.
TENTH ANNIVERSARY
The tenth anniversary of the congregation was celebrated in April, 1991, with the unveiling of a new banner "Within these walls, the vision: Beyond, the mission." While this was not the first banner created by Peace members for the church, nor has it been the last, it is one which captured a shared sense of Peace's mission. Many other banners have come in a steady stream from the creative minds and skillful hands of Peace members, some for the special occasions or seasons and others for the general enhancement of the worship space, such as the five PEACW banners which have become a traditional part of the interior decoration.
THE REVEREND JIM KRONINGER
In April of 1999, the Reverend Jim Kroninger (1999-2007) was installed as Peace's second pastor. Thus, began the second chapter in the life of Peace.
THE BUILDING EXPANDS
While the "church house" served the needs of the church for a short duration, discussions began around the topic of adding to the church building. Sunday school space was inadequate and the church house was not a particularly useful space for program needs. On August 3, 2006, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for new classrooms and an office addition. The new addition was dedicated on April 15, 2007. The addition provided pastor and secretary offices, ample classroom spaces, bathrooms and a youth room with a kitchen.
After getting moved into the new addition, the 1988 addition became the focus of extensive renovation, both inside and out. Beginning in 2007 and continuing throughout 2008, church members committed considerable time, skills and money to have the roof replaced, replacing all the siding, putting in new windows, removing classroom walls and ceilings, renovating the nursery and creating a large fellowship hall with a new kitchen.
THE REVEREND RALPH KIRKPATRICK
On February 1, 2010, the Reverend Ralph Kirkpatrick (2010-2019) was installed as Peace's third pastor. During his time of service, the Reverend Ingrid Schalk (2014-2016) was called to a part-time two year term ministry as an Associate Pastor.
The church sanctuary was in much need of major renovations. Many church members were involved in the complete renewal of the worship area during 2012-2013. Paint, new flooring, stone on the front wall, opening up the north wall to expand, and building a new expanded platform were all undertaken by members of the congregation. New chancel furniture which incorporated wood from the old furniture was built by Gary and Marlene Klukken. Amy Anderson did the beautiful tile mosaic of the risen Christ to adorn the front wall of the Chancel area. On April 14, 2013, dedication of the newly renovated sanctuary was held.
In 2015, Marlene Klukken who had served for 33 years in varying capacities as organist, choir director, music director retired. Emily Anderson was hired as choir director. Peggy Ransom continued as church pianist, a role that she has served in varying capacities since 1997. Upon Emily's resignation in 2018, Dr. Bernardo Miethe was hired as choir director and he served until May of 2020.
Through the years Peace has developed as a warm, welcoming church which serve for many members as family. There is a strong feeling of the importance of the kingdom of God being here on earth and that serving our fellow man is an important part of the way God's love and saving grace is shared with both those inside and outside the church. Worship and is valued and an important part of church life with music being an integral part of the way we worship. Fellowship, Bible study, and service opportunities all provide ways that members can connect with each other.
NOW IN THE TIME OF COVID
As this history is being updated, the impact of COVID has changed many of the ways that Peace is in ministry. Some of the changes may be permanent, but others facets of church life will resume, perhaps in modified and improved ways
The Reverend Stephen Friedrich
It is with much joy and thanksgiving that Peace welcomed Pastor Stephen Friedrich as our current pastor in June of 2021. Under his ministry Peace can look forward to continuing the areas of ministry with which we have been charged, while at the same time continuing to adjust to impact of COVID on all church.

From the dinner table to the plant floor
Strom family
A Strom family photo from before Bob Strom bought Olsen Tool && Plastics.
For Bob Strom, the dinner conversations about business were just part of the normal routine.
"We just talked about our day. The good, bad and the ugly," he said.
But his daughter Katherine was like a sponge, soaking up all the interesting conversation happening around her.
"They were good conversations, and I learned so much," said Katherine Lambert. "When I got into the working world, I could tell you that I was significantly better prepared than my classmates just because of conversations that we had. I had confidence on how to handle a situation."
Bob Strom came to Olsen Tool & Plastics Inc. in 1968, four years after Kenneth Olsen founded the company in Hopkins, Minn. He slowly started buying into the company, and completely took it over when Olsen retired in 1988. Today a new transition is happening, one from Strom to his children at the company's one plant in Chaska, Minn.
"It's a very satisfying thing to see them mature as businesspeople that are capable of performing at that level," Strom said of his children.
Lambert is a certified public accountant, and is officially controller for the custom injection molder, but wears many hats at the company. John Strom, Lambert's older brother, works as internal project manager and fitting sales representative. The oldest in the family, Susan Strom, doesn't work in any official capacity for the company, but does marketing work for them from time to time.
Bob Strom is pulling back and allowing the kids to take the business.
"I'm hanging around simply because I don't want to retire," he said. "As long as I can be of value, I'll stick around.
"I'm not a golfer, and I need some place to hang out," he said with a laugh.
Going to work for Dad
The kids were never pressured to come to work at Olsen, and they were told not to show up to the company until they were 30 years old if they did. That was something Lambert took to heart. She got her CPA and started working on a contract basis for various clients.
"I kept landing at businesses that were in manufacturing," she said. "And there were sons that were my age, and they were in the process of transitioning into leadership roles."
She was helping with the succession plans for companies, and thought if there was time to start thinking about joining the family business, it was now. At the same time, her older brother John was already at work at Olsen, and Susan had worked in sales.
Lambert came on board doing accounting in 2007, and the role has expanded to include human resources functions and now operations.
"I remember him having conversations with my brother [about coming to work at Olsen]," Lambert said. "He always knew he was coming here. He always seemed to know that. I always knew that I would never be able to let it go. But I didn't necessarily plan to be here."
The siblings weren't strangers to the company, however. They often spent summers working various jobs at the plant, including running a press, work in the front office and even janitorial work.
Lambert said she leans on her brother, and they often talk through tough business decisions on long walks both during lunch and some times on family trips to the lake.
While there's a family structure controlling the company, both Lambert and Bob Strom said the entire team is family. The company employees 36 full-time workers and six to 10 temporary workers.
"Like all small businesses, we know these people have car payments, we know they have house payments and we know that it's our responsibility to see that their life is going to be at a level where they're going to be satisfied when they're done," Bob Strom said. "And we realize without these people, we're nothing."
Generational transition
In a family business, the transition from one generation to the next can sometimes be tricky, but Lambert said her father has been an excellent teacher and has let her take the reins of the company.
"The thing I'll really credit my dad for is he's been very good about saying, 'This is your store now, if you botch it up, it's your problem,'" Lambert said. "You are getting permission to make the decision you need to make, and move the company in the direction you need to move it. There are times when he'll step in and express his concerns. But I can't think of a time when he's like, 'You need to do this.'"
For Bob Strom, he never wanted to pressure his kids into taking roles at the company, but he was happy when they did.
"You know, you put a lifetime into these things, and you want to see them continue," he said. "On the surface I was saying, 'No one was coming in.' But in my heart, I was trying to train these guys so they had careers or training that was going to allow them to add something to the company that I couldn't add."
As for a third generation, Lambert has three boys, ages 7, 9 and 11. They are familiar faces around the company — often reminding their mother when they were younger that Grandpa could fire her any time he wanted. Lambert says she tries not to think about them potentially taking over the company 20 or more years down the road.
"I never want them to think they have to come here either," she said. "But at other points, I look at them, and think, what are their strengths? Who would be the best one to come and do this?
"I try to instill in them that the people here are a gift that we're supposed to take care of. So if they were to come here, they would need to understand their responsibility to the people. And I hope whatever they decide, they understand that," Lambert said.

William G. Lambert (1920-1998), an investigative journalist, was born in Langford, SD on February 2, 1920. After decorated military service in the U.S. Army during World War II in the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO), Lambert, became a reporter and news editor at the Enterprise-Courier, Oregon City, OR. In 1950, Lambert joined The Oregonian, Portland. At The Oregonian, he teamed up with Wallace L. Turner (1921-2010) on a five-part series that uncovered widespread vice and corruption within the municipal Portland city government that involved labor union officials of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America, Western Conference. These reports would spur U.S. congressional investigations into organized crime across the country. In 1957, for example, Lambert and Turner testified before the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee of Investigations. Lambert and Turner would also receive the 1957 Pulitzer Prize for "Local Reporting – No edition time". The Pulitzer Prize Board stated: "They fulfilled their assignments despite great handicaps and the risk of reprisal from lawless elements."
After a brief stint as an anchor and news director at KPTV Oregon Television, in 1963, Lambert joined Life magazine as a staff reporter. At Life, he wrote an article that brought down U.S. Associate Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas (1910-1982), who was compelled to resign from the court in 1969. In 1970, Lambert accepted the George Polk Award for his 1969 reporting on the Fortas case. Besides Fortas, Lambert and his colleagues also wrote investigative pieces on such figures as controversial attorney Roy M. Cohn (1927-1986) and U.S. Dem. NJ Congressman Cornelius E.
