Montcalm Community College Emeritus Dean of Arts Dr. Gary Hauck presents “They Call Me Reverend Amble” Oct. 18 from 5 to 6 p.m. in room G129 in the Stanley and Blanche As Technology and Learning Center (Ash TLC) on the college’s Greenville campus. Reverend Ole Amble was Montcalm County’s pioneer preacher of the 1800s and early 1900s, who planted and pastored up to seven area churches at one time with more than 1,000 members. As a Norwegian immigrant, he became the spiritual leader of Montcalm's Scandinavian communities. During this presentation, Hauck will show slides of the life and ministry of Rev. Amble and talk about his biographical novel, “They Call Me, ‘Reverend Amble,’” which has just been released. Copies will be available for purchase during the event and refreshments will be provided.
