Mrs. Wiens
Moments ago, I discovered that Pastor Wiens is now with the Great Shepherd. My prayer is that the Lord is your dwelling place during this season of loss; all the while, “…we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.” 2 Cor 5:8 ESV

I am very saddened to hear of Pastor Wiens death. When I look back, I see that I grew so strongly in my faith under his pastorship at New Life Church. I am sure there are hundreds of others who would testify the same thing. He was an excellent teacher, and an example of godliness. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Dearest Patti and family:
I just ran into Dan Schmidt at work today and he told me of Pastor Dick's passing. I want you to know how deeply I respected Pastor Dick and how great an influence he was on my life. I don't know, Patti, if you remember me, but I became a member of New Life Church in the early '80s when Gayle Mudder/Hildahl attended and Sandy Pearson was my dicipleship leader. I have so much to thank you for -- you and Dick and the New Life Church family. I love you and please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I look forward to meeting up with Pastor Dick in heaven one day along with you and other New Life family. I am remarried to my high school sweetheart, have 3 beautiful kids, and Christ is the center of our life. God bless you and keep you.

I'm so sorry that I was unable to come to the service today. I just learned about your father's death this morning, after having been out of the country.
I will keep your father and you both in my prayers.

Mrs Weins,
Rev. Wiens was a servant of the Lord and we so greatly appreciate his work at New Life Church and the Academy. He has blessed those who knew him and those who will only know of him. Your loss if felt by many and we share your sadness; yet there is a twinkle in our eye to match Rev Wiens'...we know he is home.

Dear Patti and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Pastor Dick's passing. He meant so much to us. He barely knew us, but when my brother had his accident, he drove 4 hours with me to go and see him in the hospital. Our relationship grew from that and we learned so much from him. He will always hold a very special place in my heart.
Our prayers are with you and your family during this time.
