The Purduettes started their Sunday morning bright and early with a worship service in Decatur, IN! Zion-Friedheim Lutheran Church is the home church of Purduette senior Rachelle Buuck. The ladies begin the service in the beautiful church (which is over 100 years old!) with the song “Ride On, King Jesus!”

As the service comes to a close, the ladies return to the front of the sanctuary to sing the benediction song “Go Ye Now in Peace.”
Director Jeff Vallier and Gold of Advancement Leanne Shideler presented Pastor Dan Dahling with a gift to thank him for inviting us to sing at his church. Inside were some Purdue-themed items for the IU fan!
