Mrs. Hoflander led in prayer and read the scriptures while John Peter Stegner led the singing. These meetings were held regularly each Sunday until the Civil War. Sunday services were resumed in 1866 and were held in the Oak Grove Schoolhouse and were led twice each month by Father Greiner; who was at that time pastor of the Evangelical Congregation of Boonville. Frederick T. Kemper, founder of Kemper Military Academy, each Sunday conducted Sunday School Services in which all the young people of the community took part.
