Clinton News-Record, 1984-08-01, Page 7begins LONDESBORO- -Villagera here can relax with the knowledge that they have chaaelli fine candidate to All the position of new United Church Minister, Reverend Dave Snihur of Swan Hills, Alberta and his wife Karen and 17 -month-old son Gray arrived in Londesboro over two weeks ago and already the community have succeeded in making the young family feel welcome. "We just love the house and everyone has been so nice," said Karen Snihur. "People have been dropping off all kinds of goodies like fresh vegetables." A graduate of Queens Theological College in Kingston, Rev. Snihur has already become active in activities apart from his ministerial duties. He has already participated in shuffleboard and baseball tournaments at the village's annual Hullett Days celebrations and he conducts the church's daily summer bible school. • "I have always enjoyed being involved in the community and the church," explained the Minister. "My job means more than being the minister of a church; it's becoming a minister to the community." Unlike other professions, United Church Ministers are not asked to move on by any religious officials. "We decide when we would like to leave," Rev. Snihur noted. When the Snihurs decided it was time to move, they chose Londesboro because of two reasons. "Number one it was a place where we agreed we'd like to live and number two it was a place the lord was calling us to," recalled the Reverend. When the couple reached the negotiating stage with the Londesboro church, they said they chose the church and the church chose them. "No one person made the decision," he said. Quite often a minister, as a major figure in a community, is required to become involed in, some major moral issues. The Queens graduate says he has not yet had that opportunity. "The church I belonged to before was relatively isolated," he said. "I became more involved with community affairs rather than national issues like disarmament or pornography." Karen Snihur explains that her husband was the backbone of a committee that was pushed to bring a social worker to Swan Hills. Though Londesboro is a much smaller community than Swan Hills, the Snihtirs feel their new home has more to offer. • "In Swan Hills it took one hour to reach the closest hospital," Mrs. Snihur explains. "Thats tough when you have a Small child. But this area. is great because there a few-, hospitalstlose by." "I guess you could say pure are more family resources here," continued the Reverend. "Plus our family and friends are dose by." Dave Snibur .is originally from Owen Sound and Karen is a native of Kitchener. Though the banister feels it is too early to establish any major goals, he has already set some short term ones. "My first priority is to get to know the people," he stressed. "It is important that I minister the gospel to them as best I can. I must make it (the gospel) as relevant to them as I can." "I'm really trying to become a part of the community," he added. When the Snihurs arrived in Swan Hills over three years ago, the Rev. preached the gospel for 'the first time as an ordained Minister. "I was involved with three churches in Northern Ontario before I was ordained," he explained. "I also worked in a Kingston Psychiatric Hospital as part of my schooling (at Queens)." He explained that the theological students were required to "get out into these types of situations." "This was so we could learn how to relate to people," he added. Dave said in his younger days he was the only member of the Snihur family involved in the church. He said becoming a Minister was the furthest thing from his mind. As a young man he attended Waterloo University to major in physed. "It was here that I started to think of my relationship with the lord," remembers Mr. Snihur. "Karen and I decided attend bible college in Regina for a year and here I first felt the Lord calling me." Afterwards, the Minister left Regina and went back to Waterloo University to finish his Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies. From there he went to Queens and finally received his Masters of Divinity. Today, Rev. Snihur feels he has alot of strengths that lend themselves towards the ministry. One of his greatest attributes is his ability to work with and understand people. He said that because Londesboro is a smaller community and therefore more relaxed, he can spend more time visiting. "I call my type of counselling, coffee cup counselling," he laughed. "This is done while visiting over a kitchen table." Dave Snihur takes the visiting portion of his job very seriously. • "You can't get to know people by just shaking their hands on a Sunday," he said. Londesboro news Shuttleworth to speak.
