St. Paul, Herbert – is the congregation where I travel a half hour east of Swift Current (on the Trans Canada divided highway) one day each week. I feel especially close with these folks as I have gotten to know them a bit better through visits to their homes, plus our weekly bible [...]

I have a number of photos of St. Olaf’s. In this photo you get a sense of the size of the church – it can seat about 225 people. I find the “ceiling ribs” to be one of the church’s outstanding features. In one of my classes that focused on church [...]

My home congregation in Regina gifted me with an Advent stole in celebration of my ordination. In this photo you see me with Pastors Bob, Dennis and Lynn.
