Many Attend Youth Rally A delegation from the Luther league or youth group at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green street, McHenry, recently attended a youth rally for 800 Lutheran youth held at Edison Park Lutheran church, Chicago. The rally served as a kick-off for youth participation in a year­ long interdenominational evangelism emphasis called "Key 73". Miss Judy Ford, Miss America, Bruce Beckel, quarterback for the Annapolis Naval academy football team, and Miss Lindak Bush, representative of the fellowship of Christian Airline Stewar­ desses, gave testimonies as to what their Christian faith means to them in their lives. Musical selections and group songs were led by Miss Candy Fenster's New Life Group, Mel Block's Minstrel Singers, and the Fred Beilfuss' Folk Gospel team. Coming events for the Luther league include singing Christmas carols for shut-ins on Dec. 9 at 6:30 p.m., followed by a pizza party at the home of James and Marilyn Kinder.
