We are providing pastoral care for an elderly community and supporting their sense of Christian faith in the heritage and future of the church and cemetery. Much visitation is done in the three homes for retirees in Barrhead and one in Legal. There are regular visits to the Barrhead Health Care Centre (Hospital)and a ministry which includes one family in Westlock and a few in Edmonton as well, all of whom do not have a church home. We provide confirmation instruction and baptismal counselling as well. Pastor Gutsche is active in mission contact work in Eastern Europe, especially in the Republic of Moldova and in the Russian Federation
I am a Lutheran pastor residing in Barrhead, Alberta, Canada. One of my father's second cousin married a Malmas whose roots were in Gammalsvensky and there is also a Mr. Traxel still alive who was born there. He resides here in Alberta and was a member of my congregation in Edmonton.
I hope that support continues for this community. Perhaps one day Swedish will be taught there again (and perhaps German as well as the people must have spoken Swedish, German, Russian and Ukrainian. Mr. Alzheimer would have arrived very late in this community!
