Interesting. My Mumuu, dad and uncles attended the independent Apostolic Lutheran Church. They held their services in people's homes. I also attended these services. When a minister from Finland came to preach the services were held at the Apostolic Lutheran Church in town. Some of the Finns would feel the spirit and roll around on the floor. Thus the name "holy rollers."

Interesting. I also had a Mumuu and an Uppa. They did not attend church, but my uncle Oliver helped to build the Redeemer Chapel.
