The invitation link can also be used if you have a Wi-Fi connection. This will put us on one network and allows us to stay together, without trying to manipulate and coordinate two systems and equipment. The Zoom computer connection or 800 number is a way for you to have our service available to you and your family and friends, even if they are out of town or state. 1(888)788-0099 is the free 800 phone number for connection.

If you do not have that please call 385-234-1931 and I will try to help you with that.The easiest way to come on Zoom by computer is to have and invitation email with a link. You will need to send your email address to me or Susan, so we can send out an invitation with a link to our meeting on zoom. For all who have received this notice by email, we have it. If you notice someone missing from the email addresses in your email or want to invite someone you know, either forward this to them so they can join us in worship or send an email to Susan Roberts or Pastor Hank so we can include them in our ongoing email invitations if they desire. We are privileged and commanded by God for our own good to worship Him. Worship is the highest art form and good work that humans can do. It brings us into God’s presence to confess sins and receive forgiveness as well as all His blessings for life now and in eternity maintaining eternal fellowship with God. Worship is not an entertainment activity, one where we sit back and watch, but it requires your active participation. Because of the second to second and a half lag-time between you and the source of the music or leading voice, unison response requires us to mute the congregation. One lead voice will be responding with which you are at the appropriate places to speak and sing out loud so you can really participate. Our joyful noise is certainly heard by our Lord, but it becomes distracting to our worship concentration when we all join in as reoccurring echo all out of phase as our responses, i.e. a joyful noise. Remember, worship is not worship unless you are involved in the worship acts, so don’t just watch, -- join in, listen and participate.You have opportunity to speak and greet each other both before and after worship. The actual worship will start at 10 AM, but we will establish our meeting for you to connect as early as 9:45 AM. You will be connected to the waiting room and brought in by the host or co-host ASAP. Your wait time will be very short. Please join us; this will end up a good worship experience for you and without you we are missing you.In these times of isolation and danger we give thanks to our God who tells us, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” We may not be able to understand the why, but we know that God is in our midst working to sustain us and turn this evil to our good. His Word is never broken; His promises are sure! His love for us assures us of victory over all that which would destroy body and soul. We are with Him, and He continues to gift us with life, body, soul, family, friends, and our church family. We have much to be thankful for. Because of the resurrection of our Lord, we need never fear our future. We can do all things through Him who strengthens and loves us. We have Joy and Peace in Jesus Christ! Pastor HankA Celebration of the Gift of Life to Hans H. Keil by Our Lord God Almighty.PRELUDE: Divinum Mysterium (LSB 384) Vicory (LSB 464) Salve Festa Dies (LSB 489)A Time of Remembrance:(congregational responses are in bold print)INVOCATION: P: We begin our worship service of praise to our God for the life of Hans H. Keil. He was God’s gift of love to us who have known him. We worship in the Name of God the Father and of God the Son (+) and of God the Holy Spirit. C:Amen.A REMEMBRANCE BAPTISM: In Holy Baptism Hans received God’s gift of the Holy Spirit and he been clothed with the robe of Christ’s righteousness. This righteousness covered all his sins, because of God’s great love for him. St. Paul says, “Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?” We were buried therefore with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we shall certainly be united with Him in a resurrection like His. Rom.6:3-5Hans and Irma joined are members of St. John’s Lutheran Church. Here they received the Lord’s body and blood in with and under the elements of Jesus’ Supper. Through it they received the blessed assurance of forgiveness of sins life and salvation. Jesus promised that He would raise them on the last day. The day we call Hans’ death is actually, the beginning of his new life in paradise with His Savior Jesus Christ and as a son of God, Father, Son (+) and Holy Spirit. He was faithful unto death and has received the Crown of Life from our Lord Jesus.OPENING HYMN: “For All the Saints” vss. 1,3,6,8 (sung by all) LSB 677For all the saints who from their labors rest, Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blesst.

Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”P: This is the Gospel of the Lord.C: Praise to You O Christ.Nicene Creed: (spoken in unison) P. God has made us His children through our baptism into Christ. Living together in trust and hope, we confess our faith in Him in the words of the Nicene Creed which are the Words which define the True Apostolic Church:All:I believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all the worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father, and He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, Whose kingdom will have no end.And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, Who spoke by the prophets. And I believe in one Holy Christian and apostolic Church, I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life (+) of the world to come.

Olivet Cemetery, 1350 E. 500 South following the service.Hans Keil transferred to heaven on August 17, 2020. He cannot come back to us, but we will certainly go to him. That is certainly true unless the Lord returns first before our transfer. Hans looks for your joining him and proclaims loudly, “Be faithful until death and receive the crown of life!” He has already heard the words, “Well done thou good and faithful servant. Come and enjoy the place I have prepared for you.” We celebrate his life and the sure and certain hope that Jesus promises those who will trust in Him. May God’s Spirit strengthen you in these trying times, and never lose the truth of God’s promises of forgiveness, love and salvation. It is by faith in Jesus as Christ that you are saved, not of your own works or goodness. Salvation is a gift of God. Let no one boast except in Him! Hans H. Keil 1/4/1933- 8/17/2020Hans H. Keil passed away on the night of August 17th, 2020, at the age of 88, in Taylorsville, Utah. Hans was born January 4, 1933 to Emil and Luise Keil in Nuernberg, Germany. He met his wife Irma Keil, of 64 years, in Nuernberg, Germany in 1954 and they were married July 6, 1956. Hans spent his youth in Nuernberg, Germany living through the second World War. In his adolescence, he attended M.A.N to begin his lifetime career as a Master Machinist. Hans and Irma then moved to Salt Lake City, Utah in 1956 where they began their life and family. With his wife, Irma, he lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for 64 years. Together, they raised three children, and worked very hard to earn a living. Hans was a man of many talents: an expert mechanic, master machinist, a train enthusiast, a wonderful friend, and beyond anything else a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He found joy in many things including his model trains, cars, antique stores, and so much more. Hans will forever be loved and missed by those he left behind. Hans never hesitated to tackle any difficult responsibility, and was more than willing to help anyone. He was a man who demonstrated the great pride that a man may take in hard work, and worked hard to pass that trait onto the family.Hans is survived by his wife Irma Keil, children Louise Koenig, Peter Keil, and Hans Keil Jr., as well as 7 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Losing him has been a devastation to us all, and we will miss him greatly. Goodbye Hans, we all love you. ................
