(Photo cred: Felix Mittermeier via PEXELS.com) (Originally written for The Baldwin Bulletin: Pastor's Column June 18, 2019) Hello! I’m Pastor Dan De Graff, the new pastor at Baldwin Christian Reformed Church. My wife, Christie, and I just moved to Baldwin from Corsica, SD, with our daughter, Addison, and son, Brooks. I grew up in South Holland, IL and the DeMotte, IN area. I did my undergraduate studies at Dordt University in Sioux Center, IA, and completed my MDiv. studies at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, MI. I’ve also spent short lengths of time along the I-75 corridor in KY and TN, in southern Ontario, and Pella, IA. I enjoy fishing—open water and ice, spending time outdoors with my family, and watching sports (especially the Chicago Blackhawks and White Sox—I can hear your boos already Wild and Twins’ fans.) I consider myself a Packers’ fan! I’ve moved around a lot and haven’t settled into any single place for a long time. I have family members and friends
