Immanuel Lutheran Church as it appeared in the Sept. 21, 1962 edition of the Columbia Basin Herald, about a month before the building was completed. The tower that houses the bell is now enclosed on two sides, but the other two are open to the elements.

Immanuel Lutheran Church bell to be rededicated

MOSES LAKE — Immanuel Lutheran Church’s bell will ring out again Sunday. The bell has been out of commission for several years, said Pastor Walter Klockers. After extensive repairs, it’s ready to peal again. Immanuel Lutheran is unusual in having an actual physical bell, Klockers said; most churches these days either use electronic carillons or forgo the tradition altogether. “I was surprised at the size of it,” Klockers said. “Thirty-six inches across and 700 pounds is quite a thing.”
