LIFE OF SERVICE (PASTOR CLAAR) It takes a unique individual, and it is in fact a special “calling” to devote your whole life to serving God. Such is the story of Pastor Richard Claar, Sr. “People ask, ‘Did you find the Lord?’ No, but He found me.” “He directed me to love the Lord Jesus and to really love His Word.” Those two things right there should define the very existence for every Christian, whether you are in the ministry or not. Serving the Lord vocationally is indeed both a challenge and a blessing. Pastor Claar relates it well. He is a grand old saint, having served Christ for many years.
