The anniversary service held on October 25, 1964 celebrated our 80 years of life as a church. Rev. Carl Burkle, South Central Conference Minister, gave the sermon at the morning service with Rev. Carl H. Kluge returning to Robinson to give the afternoon sermon. The Senior Choir and the Junior Choir performed musical selections. Virginia Wuebker was organist for the morning service with Jean Kettler playing the organ for the afternoon service.

    Rev. Weltge, our fifth settled pastor, was a true shepherd to his flock, watching over all with care and concern. He, his wife Ruth, and their children Ingrid and Arlo were the first family to occupy our new parsonage.

    These were quiet years − growing years. The church building was recently built, the parsonage was newly built. Rev. Weltge was able to concentrate on his "flock" and the congregation flourished under his pastorate.
