Rev. Homer Samplonius, formerly a clergyman in . Edmonton, arrived on August 4 to perform his first services in Clinton to a particularly enthusiatic con- gregation. "They were very excited and we were warmly received. After two and a half years, they were excited about getting a new pastor," he said in an interview. As part of the getting acquainted process, the congregation put on a church picnic and welcome day at the conservation area to welcome Rev. and Mrs. Samplonius and their two sons Mark and David to the church and to the community on August 5. He said he received the calling from the Clinton congregation executive last year. The fact that the congregation had. been without a pastor for over two yeaare weighed heavy with hi n and he decided toacce t the position.' Under the church's system of 011 - jug, the pastors are free to refuse to re- locate. Acting upon an invitation by the. Clinton congregation, he and his family viilted the town last February to.see the church, But, much to his chagrin, the area was in the middle off a snow storm and most of the roads were closed, "We were used to long winters in Edmonton. It didn't scare us," he said. The family left Edmonton on the first week of July and vacationed while travell- ing to Clinton. His two sons left five days earlier and bicycled all the way. Rev. Samplonius has been in the ministry for the past 15 years. After serving in Iron Springs in southern Alberta for three and a half years and in Maple Ridge, a suburb of Vancouver, tors* and a Half years, beset* ed in Edmonton for. 'a five year stint before coming to• Clinton, He wasborn in the Netherlands before his family immigrated to Vancouver. He received his, religious training at Calvin College and Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan, attaining a BA and a Bachelor of Divinity degree. His duties at the church will include preaching two services every Sunday as well as teaching young people which he says will be a big. task. Visits to the elderly and the shut-ins as well as administrative duties are included in the new position. Rev. Samplonius says the congregation is the largest he has had the opportunity to serve, with a total of 165 family and an average of 600' people attending services regularly. He and his family, hope to be a part of the church and the community for many years to come, he says. Clinton and area obituaries Viola Lampman Viola M.
