Here is a Palm Sunday sermon from 1994. I have both the scanned printout that is highlighted in yellow, as well as the original wordperfect file from a floppy disk. The scan will appear first, followed by the text from the floppy disk.

  • 1974-03-31

  • Apr 4, 2024
  • 1982-04-25
  • SERMONS
Here is a typed sermon from April of 1982. The original church season is listed as “9th,10th Comm.” which may have been first communion for 9th and 10th graders. On reading the sermon, it’s more likely a reference to the 9th and 10th Commandments, though.

  • 1993-02-27

  • 1988-02-21
  • SERMONS
Here is a typed Lenten sermon from February of 1988. It is marked up in red pen. He references a surgery that he experienced in September of 1987, which was likely the removal of cancer tissue from his upper back.
