Barbara Laing in the Dashwood -Zurich charge was like coning home. Doris ( nee Steckle) grew up in the Zurich area. Sinasec, the son of a farm equipment dealer, was raised on a farm at Kilworth west of London. Many local names were already familiar to him because of his father's business and his wife's background. "We received a royal -welcome. The people have been so good. even shar- ing their gardens. The manse is in lovely condition; I told the pastoral relations committee they obviously wanted to attract a minister". Sinasec remarked: Sinasec said he is very aware of the work done by his predecessor. which has prepared the way for his ministry. "We will pick up where Bar- bara Laing left off", he promised. Sinasec noted that Rev. Laing had divided the pastoral charge among the elders. and he intends to go with the elders to meet each member of the congregation. "In the home or in the barn." Sinasec added with a smile, explaining he is no stranger to the latter. His father had bought his farm "to keep the boys out of trou- ble". and one of Sinasec's daily tasks as a youngster was milking the fami- ly cow. In fact, at one time Sinasec's future seemed headed toward agriculture rather than the -ministry. While attending Western Universi- ty, Sinasec had become involved with the radical student movement which caused such ferment on campuses in the '60s. Becoming disillusioned with "the system", he.dropped out in 1970 without graduating and began work-. ing for Commonwealth Holiday inns as an internal auditor. During that time. Sinasec began at- tending Hope Lutheran church in Kit- chener after being contacted through a visitation program initiated by Rev. - Ken Zorn ( who coincidently once pastored the Lutheran Church in Dashwood ). Under Zorn's ministry. Sinasec had what he calls "a conversion ex- perience" in 1971. "Though 1 had gone to church for years. 1 was not a Christian". Sinasec explained. "Now 1 knew 1 was." The following year. Sinasec return- ed to university to complete his degree. and received his B.A. with a history major in 1973. Ily then. he fell a strong call to the ministry. but resisted. "I didn't want to be a w'ishy-washy- preacher behind the pulpit with nothing' to say. 1 had heard some ministers. and people didn't unders- tand what they Twere talking about. Teens are leaving many churches because the..) feel there's nothing there for thcm. And 1 wanted to be ab- solutely sure the ministry was what God wanted". Sinasec offered as reasons for enrolling at Guelph. and graduating with a B.Sc.- in agricultural economics in 1976. - Sinasec received a number of at- tractive agriculture -related job of- fers. but turned -them all down. ••I wanted to be where God wanted me to be", he said. Sinesac had married Doris that year. The couple accepted a job as house parents in a group home for criminal teenagers a few doors from St. Joseph's Hospital in London. The home was operated by the ministry of correctional services as one step before a half -way house or back under the parental roof. They left, emo- tionally exhausted. two years later. Sinasec worked at a number of odd jobs - managing a hike shop. short - term assignments for the ministry of correctional services. work on the home fare) - while actively seeking God's will. Ile finally told his wife he knew he was called to the ministry.

He attended Huron College. London in 1979 and 1980. and was student pastor during that time at Kerwood United Church. Ile received his M. Div. from Ern-- manual rn-manual College, Toronto and was or- dained in 1983. Sinasec was at Brownville near Tillsonburg tor two years before.com- ing to Dashwood -Zurich. Despite a background that includes Roman Catholic. -Baptist and Lutheran affiliations. Sinasec feels he was guided to the -United Church: "I am an.evangelical in philosphy and expression. and the United . Church has received me very well. I am happy to be a member;" Sinasec said. Sinasec sees his ministry from God as preaching the -Bible from the pulpit, visiting- those in his charge. and empowering the laity to do the, work of the church. "We need leadership in the church. Christians need to grow. to be discipl- ed, and then reach out to those Who feel they don't belong. That's the challenge today", Sinesac said. Sinasec is also sure of his priorities: God first. family of wile and children -Esther-Lynn, eight, Robbie, six. Jonathon. three and Cherith, two. next. and congregation third. Ile believes a minister sets an example for his congregation within the con- fines of his own family. Sinasec's goals for his Dashwood and Zurich charges include renewal within individual hearts and cor- porately in the congregation, a strong Sunday School, and an enthusiastic Bible study class. "If Christianity doesn't meet one's daily needs. it's not Christianity". Sinasec concluded. Gradual integration of Ecole Ste. Marie Fifteen grade one, seven and eight pupils from Ecole Ste.
