~ OBITUARIES ~
“HOW SERMONS ARE BORN”
By Rev. Dan Minor - revdminor@att.net _____________________________________ “Preach the Word …” - II Timothy 4:1
During 41 years of pastoring churches I preached more than 2,000 sermons. I have preached 93 sermons since retirement and have written 338 articles for The Community Shoppers Guide. My point is that preaching is important. I think proclaiming the good news was important to Jesus. The Bible says, “Jesus came preaching” (Mark 1:14). Phillips Brooks (1835-1893) was an American Episcopal Clergyman, author and Bishop. He is best known for writing the delightful Christmas hymn, “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” In l877 Brooks published a course of lectures on preaching, which he delivered at Yale University. He defined preaching as “Truth through personality.” That is a fine definition of preaching. Some have asked, “Where do you get your ideas?” Some ministers preach from the Lectionary (assigned passages). Others preach expository sermons (exposition of the text) and others prefer topical preaching. Often preaching takes on the form of storytelling. For me, sermons begin with an idea. Ideas are always Spirit led. Some of my greatest inspirations have come while running. The primary sources for preaching are the Bible and prayer. Ideas come from a variety of other sources including reading, meditating, listening to others preach, music, movies, current events or conversations with others. There is no limit to how the Holy Spirit will inspire a message. More important than delivering the message is living the message. This brings to mind the words of Edgar A. Guest, “I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I’d rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way …” My very first sermon in our first pastorate was entitled, “The Gospel According to You.” I closed the message with the following poem: “… You’re writing each moment a letter to all: Take care that the writing is true. It’s the only gospel some people may read – The gospel according to you.” (Unknown source)
Here is another of my favorite quotes (attributed to St. Francis of Assisi): “Preach the gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words!” Prayer: May we, by our lives dear Lord, share the good news of Jesus Christ with others. Amen.

He also enjoyed golfing and small game hunting with his dog Duffy. He was a member of the First Congregational Church of Otsego, the Otsego’s Lions Club and the Otsego Elks Lodge. After his retirement Jack and Clara wintered in Gulf Shores for 18 years. Surviving are his wife, Clara; their children, Sherry (Mike) Hanson of Otsego, Dave (Karen) Howrigon of Tennessee and Rick (Mary) Howrigon of Otsego; 6 grandchildren, Jaime (Shawn) Rogers, Ryan (Trisha) Howrigon, Sean (Megan) Howrigon, Megan (Chris) Brown, Abbie Hanson and Matt Howrigon; two international granddaughters, Nino and Maria and 13 great-grandchildren; his brothers, Robert and Jerry Howrigon; many nieces and nephews and his lifelong friend, Joyce Sheldon. He was preceded in death by his mother, Velma Howrigon Whitney; his father, Leon; step-father, Frank Whitney; brother, Gene Howrigon and life time friend, Dean Sheldon. So many earthly angels were present the last stretch of his life. He enjoyed all his company, kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, friends and extended family. A special thank you to Marshall Howrigon and Kerry Smalla for the extra visits and sharing the word. He was blessed to have Lisa and Nancy of Wings of Hope Hospice caring for him. They served him with grace, respect and humor, all traits Jack admired. A memorial service was held Tuesday, January 16, 2018 at the First Congregational Church of Otsego. According to his wishes cremation took place. Pastor Don Boss officiated. Contributions in memory of Jack may be made to the First Congregational Church of Otsego or to Wings of Hope Hospice.

Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
