Cassette Ministry
While serving the Clarinda church (1974-1980), Jerry started a "cassette ministry." Each Sunday, he'd record certain parts of the service on tape, and would then have volunteers share the tape with those that were unable to get to the church on Sundays (in nursing homes, etc). This cassette ministry most likely continued in subsequent churches he served but the following 81 recordings are what remain, all from Clarinda. These recordings span a difficult period in Jerry's life (which included the death of his son, and the breakup of his marriage) and are invaluable documents of the time.
