Crib Club News
The June tournament, held on June 13th, was a fun evening! Carole Marleau came in first, while Don Dmitruk took second place. Dave Haraldson brought up third place and Norm Burnell came in fourth. Aurele Robert got the booby prize, and it was Carole’s lucky day as she also won the 50/50. Our July tournament on the 11th had some exciting moments when a thunderstorm shook the building, and it rained so hard, it sounded like heavy hail on the roof. But it wasn’t and it passed, and we continued our play. Rochelle Anderson took first place, Claire Logan placed second, and third was a tie between Norm Burnell and Will Linklater. Aurele Robert came in fourth and got the dimes. The booby prize went to Gayle Carriere, and Wally Adair won the 50/50. Congratulations to all our winners! Our August tournament will be on the 8th, and will be our last summer tournament as September will see the start of our regular season. So come out and join us at the Young at Heart at 7 p.m. You’ll be glad you did!
From The Pastor’s Desk Hey Richer listen up! Let’s talk about perception of the public and the clergy. Richer Fellowship Church in a unique church. Not only is it the only Evangelical Church in town (it is the only church in town) it also has a pastor that does not fit the definition of traditional pastor. We could say, he and his wife are the only Harley riding pastor couple in southeastern Manitoba who each ride their own machine. Now this may mess with some people’s perception of a pastor... what is our perception when we hear that a pastor rides a Harley? Does that fit into our frame of religion and faith in the world of clergy.
In reality all the ones that work in the world of spiritual service have interests in the physical world of recreation and entertainment like any other person. Some golf, others go fishing, still others ride Harley’s. This category in particular, seems to get a closer look in disbelief. Preachers, never mind pastors, do not ride Harley’s due to a persons perception of Harley Davidson and its association with the dark side of the world. This pastor has been set free to declare Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and ride a Harley. If our perception of the person of the cloth can be redefine then we be-
gin to realize that they are persons who are no different than you. This pastor was riding a Harley Davidson long before he became a pastor. When you come to visit Richer Fellowship you will likely find him wearing a Harley shirt as well. Again, Perception... is it a fashion statement? Probably not. It is a clothing line choice no different than Edie Bauer and the like. Come and visit us, we are down to earth in our lives, while loving Jesus Christ with all of our hearts. See you soon. See you at the Rodeo grounds August 13, 99:30 am. Cheers... Harley Riding Pastor Ben.
