Also known as South Wild Rice Church.
In Richland County, near Galchutt ND, the St. John's Church bell rings from 5 to 6 p.m. every Christmas Eve. Built in 1872, services were held in the church until 1941, when the congregation divided. Commitment to the church remains strong - three times the steeple has been struck by lightning, and three times the congregation has repaired shingles, siding, and even the interior of the steeple. The bell has never been damaged. A donation from one of the parishioners established an endowment fund for repair and maintenance.
