and meal, an outstanding video
of the bell tower
and the church bells will be
shown in the auditorium. You
will see in detail how the bells have been renovated by Gene Heid and son,
Nathan, with the help of Wilbert Peterman and employees of our local Ryder-Heil
Bronze Inc. The employees
donated their time, labor, and materials to make the needed parts for the
church bells. The Aaron
Atkinson family is with us today as representatives of the Ryder-Heil Bronze
Company. We express our deepest
gratitude to Gene, Nathan, Wilbert and the employees of the Ryder-Heil

glory of God and in honor of the members of Good Hope Church who are age 80
and over by Jeannette Naufzinger. The
worship bulletins are given in
loving memory of Bob Korner by his wife, Jean Korner. We thank Millie Palenshus
for baking today’s communion bread. Today’s hymn, “We Shall
Rejoice”, was originally created in celebration of Good Hope’s 150th
anniversary on Reformation Sunday in 1992.
John Ylvisaker was commissioned by Good Hope to write the words and
our own Patty Neff arranged the music. The theme of the 150th
anniversary highlighted the scripture of Romans 12:12 which is part of
today’s second scripture reading.
This beautiful hymn was created with Romans 12:12 as the central
theme. You will find the sheet
music to it at the back of your hymnal.
Following the singing of “We Shall Rejoice”, please return the sheet
music to its proper place in the back of your hymnal.
We greet our honored guests, those Good Hope members
who are age 80 and over!
Our senior members are wearing an orange
flower this morning and will be the guests of honor at today’s meal.
Take a look today at
the great items of Good Hope memorabilia in the
historical room!
The historical room is located across the hall from the offices.
We thank Ruth Clem for keeping it tidy and up-to-date!
