We welcome the Rev. Ralph Garbe who will be leading worship this morning. Rev. Ralph Garbe was born in Germany. In 1950 His family immigrated to the United States. They landed in New York City where he received most of his education and where he was ordained by the Presbytery Church in 1963. With a Lutheran, Presbyterian and United Church background, Mr. Garbe has served congregations in Iowa, Saskatchewan and southern Ontario. His friendship with Rev. Royal began on the golf course. I think we can both admit that we do not play golf but play AT golf. Rev. Garbe is married to Marj and has three children and four grandchildren.

Mission Moment
Central to Christianity is the conviction that one finds life by giving it away first.
