Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-31411 RUSTIC CROSS ATTRACTS LAKESIDE WORSHIPPERS JACKSON, Wyo. -- Lovely Jackson Lake and the soaring peaks of the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming provide a beautiful wilderness setting for worshipping vacationers.

To be ordained as a minister of the Reformed Church of America, Mr. Scaar is one of some 200 college and seminary students participating in the National Council of Churches' Ministry in the National Parks. Over one million vacationers in 36 parks are served in the summer phase of the program and many more will take advantage of year-round and special winter ministries in nine parks.
