Sunday April 11th, 2025, Henry Neufeld started a part-sermon, part-discussion time where he described several memorable moments from his life, and invited us to do the same. His talk was divided in three sections: "What Do You Believe?", "An Error in Speaking of Not Keeping My Mouth Shut", and "Have You Ever Sold Heavenly Life Insurance?".

In the first section, Henry talked about the time when he volunteered at a local police station in Ladner. There, he was asked what believes by someone from a Sikhi background. He responded, somewhat unconfidently, that he believes in following Jesus, and that it's basically about love. Other members have commented that they too have been asked similar questions by a Sikhi believer.

In the second section, Henry talked about his time volunteering at The Mission to Seafarers with Tena. The person in charge, Sheryl, went beyond her regular duties that day helping a sailor. When Henry commented that her behavior seemed "almost Christian", Sheryl was quite unhappy, and said that she wished he didn't say that. Though confused at first, Henry realized that he responsibility was his, and if he could explain her behavior, that would mean he'd be blaming her for the response. Other members have responded with their own stories of regrets in their past. 

In the third section, Henry talks about the lecture notes he found from a Roman Catholic Church he attended in Saskatoon back in 1966. It was an interesting talk about change, adapting to them, and how the Roman Catholic extorted its believers by selling them heavenly life insurance. Dogmas don't change, but their applications must, else we will become museum pieces. Members talked about the times when they "bought", "sold", or "freely gave out" the heavenly life insurance.
