Minister’s Moments

Each Saturday the Kilgore News Herald runs a column written by local pastors titled "Minister's Moment". Pastor Galler's columns currently run the first, third, and any fifth Saturdays of the month. Past columns are posted below (the most-recent first), with an image of the hard copy hosted on this site (which links to a full-screen version of the image), an offsite link to the newspaper's electronic version of the column (available to all for about two weeks after the column's publication and to newspaper subscribers who log-in after that), and any other onsite or offsite links to related content. Pastor Galler welcomes your comments or questions about the past columns and your suggestions for future ones; you can email him at pastor@pilgrimlc.org. (Note that some of Pastor Galler's columns are also run in The Henderson News.)
