Church acquires monument from Duluth City Hall

10 Commandments to be put on property

Duluth's embattled Ten Commandments monument is leaving the lawn at City Hall and relocating to a Lakeville church.

The nondenominational Celebration Church of Lakeville submitted a winning bid of $15,105 to buy the 7-foot slab of granite.

The offer topped 12 other bids opened Tuesday afternoon in Duluth City Hall.

The 8-year-old congregation and its pastor, longtime radio and television evangelist Lowell Lundstrom, plan to display the monument outside their church building at 16655 Kenyon Ave., near Interstate 35 and 162nd Street.

"Everything we teach here goes off the Ten Commandments," Celebration Church business administrator Allan Miller said. Lundstrom "always preaches we have to go back to the Ten Commandments. He's always rattling them off. He believes strongly everyone should know them."

2. Everything we teach goes off the 10 commandments??

Seems to me Christians should be more interested in the beattitudes...you know Matthew 5. My understanding of Jesus and his message is found in those words NOT the 10 commandments. You have to wonder why you never hear these people talk about those words. Just once I would like to hear these hypocrits talk about the true message of Jesus instead of spouting some old testament list of don'ts.

3. This seems like an appropriate location

This is a much better location than city hall.
