Clergy Chat with Rev. Wayne Albertson

Former pastor of Ada First United Methodist Church
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, February 6, 2017

Compiled by Darlene Bowers

“My favorite Bible story is what is commonly called ‘Doubting Thomas,’ but it is not so much about intellectual belief as it is about the ability of those who are wounded and vulnerable in life being able to move through the barriers of fear and bring peace and compassion to others in need.

Rev. Wayne Albertson
Richfield, Minnesota
Previously at First United Methodist Church in Ada

When did you serve the Ada pastorate?
I served the First United Methodist Church in Ada from  June 1999 to June 2011.

Mr. Entertainer, Mr. Energy, Mr. Stamina

Ada audience would say he's all three wrapped into one person
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, January 29, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
Mr. Entertainer, Mr. Energy, Mr. Stamina...take your pick at what you want to call Ben Vereen, but most in the audience Saturday would say he is all three wrapped up in one person.

Vereen gave a two-hour show of song, dance, and humor at the Freed Center for the Performing Arts, earning two standing ovations at the conclusion.
He and three musicians kept the audience entertained with familiar and more recent songs for two hours without intermission.

His experience in acting showed when he could change his expression and emotion from happy to sad in an instant.
