The rite of confirmation was held for a group of adults at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, McHenry, Sunday. The confirmation service served as a conclusion to a period of study where the students learned about the basic teachings of the church and had opportunities to ask questions about the life and doctrines of the Lutheran church. During the service each member received the con­ firmation blessing from Pastor Roger Schneider as well as a certificate of church mem­ bership. The new members were greeted at the door of the church by members of the parish. The class members were Lina VanDuyn, Carol Bradley, Robert Mecham and John Biggs. The Tornado drill exercise will commence with the National Weather service making the announcement. In response, each community of the state will follow established procedures as though a tornado were approaching. • • * • The best way to get ahead in life is to stop talking about it and do something about it.
