We spent this past weekend in Blue Hill, Nebraska for Trinity Lutheran’s 125th anniversary. My grandfather, Martin Hofman, was pastor there for 14 years in the 50’s/60’s. It was very fun, because lots of my family was there! My mom and dad, Aunt Ruth and Uncle David, Aunt Becky and Uncle Norm, and of course – Mark and Rachel! Dad was ordained there in 1961, so he was invited to preach at their afternoon celebration service.
Blue Hill was a cute, tiny town, and I’ll write more about it later, but we have company now. Here are a few pictures to tide you over:
Here’s my dad at the dinner. (The photo is from 197somthing.)
After the celebration service they had a dedication for the original church bell. If any of you remember Joel Witt from college, that’s his dad on the far right. He’s the pastor at Blue Hill now.
