Church looks at 1986 CLINTON - Another year has passed in the life of the Clinton Christian Reformed, and it's time to look back at 1986. One of the important steps taken in 1986, was the beginning of moves to create Vanastra Christian Reformed Church I CRC) as an independent congregation. It has been in existence since 1973, and started as an outreach into the newly created com- munity of Vanastra. It has recently grown under the leadership of Evangelist Jim Visser and a nucleus of dedicated families worshipping there, so that formal organiza- tion"fan become a reality. Worship Services in the Clinton CRC began on January 1 with the New Year's Day service, and ended with a New Year's Eve service on December 31. Pastor Samplonius continued his series of sermons throught the Heidelberg Catechism in one of the two services held every Sunday, finishing the part dealing with deliverance and beginning the part that deals with gratitude. They are now at Lord's Day 40 of the 52 found in the catechism. The sacrament of baptism was ad- ministered to 22 children at various times during the year, and 17 young people con- fessed their faith publicly, thereby joining the church as full members. During the year, five members died, the latest being Andrew Veenstra and Douwe Bruinsma. The congregation has changed markedly in recent years. What started out as a church with mostly young immigrant families has now a sizable number of elderly and widows. Attempts to meet the needs of these members locally is proving difficult. A number have left for centers where facilities suited to these needs are found, although they would have preferred to stay near their families. At the year's end the membership total was about 650 in 134 families. During the past year the church council has tried to come up with expansion and renovation plans, but has not been successful so fa Hopefully, concrete steps can be taken sod to get the much needed construction off the ground. This week the congregation is saddened by the news of the passing of Geraldine VanderBerg, wife of the former pastor, after a long struggle with cancer, in Edmon- ton. Sympathy is extended to the bereaved family and congregation in Edmonton.
