The Parsonage
This Victorian home was built in 1906. It was first occupied by the Rev.
and Mrs. Amandus Norman until his death in 1931. Dr. Norman served as our second minister
from 1893 - 1931. The house serves as the parsonage for our current minister.
The Log Cabin / Museum
One of the most unique features of the Nora Church grounds is the Log
House Museum, or more properly the Ole Jorgensen Memorial Museum. It stands south of the
church proper near a beautiful spreading white oak tree. The log house structure brings to
mind in a meaningful way the early pioneers who struggled against such great odds to build
a church home on this hill. Their household artifacts are here, the treasures they brought
from Norway are here, and the very logs they hewed from the wilderness make up its walls.

The Flower Communion
By tradition, the flower service is performed on the last Sunday before the summer
break. Before the service, each member is asked to bring a flower and add it to several vases of flowers.
These flowers represent our church community which is accepting of all. At the end of the service,
individuals are asked to come forward and take a different flower than what he/she brought. Again,
this represents the acceptance and respect that we all have for each other.
