Today is the last time The Havre Weekly Chronicle will be published, although Havre will continue to have a paper from another source. In January 2025, Jesse Mullen purchased the struggling newspaper from Stevenson Newspapers based in Wyoming. “They sold me the paper for $1,” Mullen said. “It was losing about $20,000 a month when I took over, and we worked quickly to stem the bleeding. But after more than a year, we ran out of runway.” The Havre Weekly Chronicle was originally slated to close on January 15, 2025, accordi...

HAVRE - In an era when life moves quickly and quiet reflection can feel like a luxury, one local tradition continues to draw residents into a shared moment of pause and purpose. On Good Friday, members of the Havre community will once again gather downtown for the annual Walk of the Cross, a moving public observance that traces the final hours of Jesus' life through Scripture, prayer, and presence. We will start at Van Orsdel United Methodist Church at 11:00 a.m.; make...
You know, Lord, it was such a blessing and so much FUN to watch the children parade through the aisles on Palm Sunday, waving their palm branches. We loved how the youngest and smallest ones held onto a rope fastened to their Sunday School Teacher, so they could follow her through the crowded sanctuary because they could hardly SEE where they were going. It reminded us of the way we are to follow Jesus. Then, came EASTER Sunday! Long ago at a different time and different...
Out our way, an older parishioner and friend named Ike, asked me to come help him reset a tombstone of a kid he had known as a youth. As we reset the marker and repaired the fence to keep the cattle out, he told me of the story of the kid whose marker it was. Ike told me the deceased was a young guy - about 18 - who was a bit stuck up and proud of being a cowboy - but careless. The kid had been working a local herd, but had ignored checking his cinch. It came loose and the...
She held Mom’s hand, and Mom held hers, they talked a little while. They talked about the ‘past,’ and ‘now’, and shared a little smile. Mom did remind Joan of scripture, that we are born to die. And when He calls, it’s up to Him, what time to Him we’ll fly. Mom spoke to comfort her dear girl, who knew Mom soon’ d be gone. They said ‘good-bye’, Joan kissed her Mom, who’d left before the dawn. Then down two rooms, a guy looked sad, “You said that you’d be back?” “Yes, my ‘to-do...

You know, dear Lord, 'Karen' chatted with several of us girls, said she'd SHARE a bit that her middle-school son had shared which she thought was rather special. We listened as she began, stating that her son loved those 'Word Hunt' pocket size puzzle books. The puzzle he liked the one called COLD, to him, it suited how he and his buddies thought the last few days had been, so here goes. "When we got to school, every one of us was downright COLD. We thought the Arctic had...
The Book of Esther Out our way, aside from the rodeo circuit, you don't meet many celebrities. I have been fortunate enough to meet two - Rick Shcroeder at a cancer fund raiser in Colorado, and Esther, a star from the film " Dances with Wolves" in South Dakota. Rick was a very nice guy, but Esther was really special. You see, when the "Dances with Wolves" buffalo hunt was filmed near Fort Pierre, bison had to be imported from around the state to make up the herd. As it...

You know, Lord, a note for a friend – so just sharing from 'Heather': "Just when I was sure that we'd go a whole year without one snowstorm. I woke up to half a foot of white on the ground. Grabbing a cup of coffee, I put on my coat and boots and grabbed little Soda – my small dog, to go for our morning walk. Every tree sparkled in the rising sun. I stopped a moment taking in the beauty. "'Did YOU order this?" My neighbor yell out.' "I did!" I said. "And I meant it, bec...
Psalm 46: 10 Out our way, technology sometimes takes time to reach us. But it eventually comes. There were no cell towers for years when I first got out that way. Then things changed. Charlie and I were working the herd up on the Tiger Ridge and I was complaining about how hectic my week had been at the Church - especially phone calls from various sources that kept me tied to my desk when I was trying to focus on this week's sermon. So out in the "Big Open" feeling the gentle...
For some Christians, this is Lent, a period of 40 days where we observe a season of following Jesus to the cross and tomb. It is a season of repentance and self-reflection leading us to face the truth expressed in the 16th century Hymn, Ah Holy Jesus, How Hast Thou Offended, with its chilling stanza sung from the foot of the cross, “Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone thee.’Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee: I cru...
