HYMN NOTES: For the Bread Which You Have Broken (516) This hymn was written November 21, 1924 by the foremost hymnologist of his day, Louis F. Benson. Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin (The Riverside Church) read the draft but wanted an additional verse bringing in Service and Kingdom. “ … The next day I sat down and wrote the verse,” said Benson. The composer of the tune, V. Earle Copes is now a resident of FL. In a phone call from his daughter about three weeks ago, she shared with me that Copes—now nearly 94 years old—has recently given up playing the organ and is a resident in an assisted living facility in Sarasota. There are two versions of his tune because after the publisher neglected to renew the copyright of the original 1959 tune, Copes changed one note in the melody (the “E” first beat, second measure to a “G”), reharmonized it and even changed the tune name to FOR THE BREAD. The original tune and harmonization appears in Glory to God. The flowers in the sanctuary today are given to the glory of God by Missy Wolf, Shannon & Leah In Memory of Mother & Grandmother, Shirley Wolf Pamela Peters In Honor of Charlie Mortin’s 1st Birthday Flower orders & donation costs for flowers ordered for worship are made using the “2014 Flower Reservation Chart” on the bulletin board across from the kitchen.
