The Rev. Bob Gray puts away a chainsaw March 14 after he helped Paula Woehlke, a member of his church, clean up a garden in her backyard in Carbondale. Gray spends a lot of time with members of his congregation, helping with Bible studies, holding dinners and providing counseling for those in need. He said his interest in outreach came from what he saw at his church as a child. “The church I grew up in took care of its own people, but it didn’t reach out into community at all,” Gray said, “I kept thinking things should be somehow different.”
The Rev. Bob Gray prepares to feed his cattle March 2 at his home in Carbondale. Gray said he learned farming as a child growing up in the Ozarks of Missouri, where he helped his family raise cows, chickens and hogs.
