Fishing Expo

-


The Tiger Woods of fishing, Al Lindner, came to Hayward Wesleyan Church last Saturday to speak for our fourth annual Fishing Expo!

Unchurched men swarmed to the event -- even those who said the roof would collapse if they entered the building. (I told them not to worry. We put in special reinforced beams just in case they showed up!)

Al is a committed believer in Jesus Christ, and he challenged the men to take care of business spiritually. Many of them joined him in a prayer of commitment at the end of his talk, opening their lives up to Jesus.

It was a wonderful evening all the way around. There were seminars of fly fishing, muskie fishing, Chippewa Flowage walleyes, and tying flies and jigs.

Here's the best part: the guys came to learn about fishing -- and we were fishing for them!!

    Thanks so much for doing this! My husband was one of those men who were VERY impressed with Al, and though he hasn't come right out and said whether he made a commitment, I KNOW the door has been opened!

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
