Zurbrigg Manager Elgin and Kingston Streets oderich 524.7381 Dwight B, Strain, the new minister of the First Baptist Church of Clinton, admits he has a tough task ahead of him. He has the arduous job of rebuilding a church that has nearly been closed several times in the last several years because of poor attendance. Pastor Strain freely admits that one of his prime reasons for coming to Clinton was the challenge of taking an almost dead church and building , it back up again. ."I think that Clinton has real potential," he said. Pastor Strain believea that the way to lure people back to the Baptist Church is through the medium of gospel song, "There are many people in town here who would come if we offered gospel music. Many of them aren't Baptist either," he said. Moving to the Albert Street Manse from Cobourg, the 30, year-old Pastor Strain has been active in the church since 1963 when he was missionary, teacher, and minister on the Glen Vowell Indian Reserve in" British Columbia. In 1965 he moved to the Six Nations In- dian Reserve near Brantford where he was the minister for four churches. He left the ministry in 1967 to teach secondary school and work in the world of commerce. The last time the Clinton Baptist Church had a full-time resident minister was in 1965 when Rev. Craig Peters was in the manse. Rev. McWhinnie of Goderich has been coming down and taking services lately, but dwin- dling attendance the past several years has brought rumors that the church would be closed. Pastor Strain says he hopes he can reverse that trend. A graduate of the University families coming from Clinton, Bayfield, Goderich and the surrounding areas. of Toronto, Pastor Strain is married and has four children, His wife, Bernadette and their four children, Loraine, $; Lorelei, 7; Bram, 3; and Linda Sue, ,,are moving into the church's manse on Albert Street this week and. Pastor Strain will conduct his first ser- vice at the church this, coming Sunday at 11 a,m, The church has spent nearly, $5,000 in renovating and redecorating the manse. Paster Strain said he hopes to be here at least five years, depending on the wishes of the congregation, Even though he was offered several established postings in larger centres, Pastor Strain said he chose Clinton because it not only offered him a challenge but "I did a little research into Clinton and I liked what I found." He plans on wasting no time in getting the gospel singing started in the church. On May 19 and 20,, the Sellwood Singers, Nashville recording ar- tists, will be coming to the church along with the Hisey Family from Barrie. Another unamed country gospel group is also coming. The second gospel singing service is planned for June 13 when Canada's Galileans, a trio from Guelph, will be featured. All in all, Pastor Strain has a busy and hectic life planned in the next few years.
