Dedication of Freitag-Hefty memorial bells at Swiss Church
The Freitag Hefty memorial bells will be dedicated at Swiss United Church of Christ in New Glarus at 6 p.m. Sunday. The bells were installed before Christmas last year but the ceremony was delayed to allow friends visitors and relatives to attend. Hymns in English and Flemish will be played on the Carillon tower bells at 15 minute intervals until 8 p.m. The pastor Rev Lynn F B Tschudy will offer prayers in the doorway of the Swiss church between the church and the Zwingle house. Weather will affect how far the bells can be heard, with listeners reporting sound more than a mile away.
