Lectures

This series contains mostly typed and some handwritten copies of lectures and presentations that Neufeld gave beyond the direct parameters of his jobs as a congregational preacher and university professor, as well as some copies of outside sources that Neufeld used as references or to inspire his writings. Neufeld spoke at fundraising banquets for Mennonite schools and organizations, in front of groups in care homes, and to congregations and church groups across Western Canada, among other places. Some files are in German, but most are in English.

Theme Sermons

This series is comprised of five subseries: 1) Radio - English; 2) Radio - German; 3) Conversion; 4) Decalogue; 5) Stewardship; all taken from the original organization of Neufeld’s files. These subseries hold notes, sermons, and presentations that Neufeld wrote based on specific topics of interest or on requested themes. The files are dated both during and after Neufeld’s official time as a minister at First Mennonite Church.

Sermons

This series is comprised of both typed and handwritten sermons that Neufeld gave between the years of 1956 and 2018, as well as references and written drafts for officiating weddings or speaking at anniversaries and funerals; also included are programs from some such events, and a copy of The Story That Shapes Us, a published collection of his sermons. Neufeld continued to write and share sermons long after he stopped working as a full-time minister at First Mennonite Church. He preached in all types of church services, from regular Sunday morning services to special days on the church calendar like Easter, Communion, Pentecost, and Christmas. Files are in both English and German.

Personal: early years and family, correspondence, and the later years

This series consists of materials relating to three areas of Al Reimer’s life: his early years and family, education up to his Ph.D., cards and letters from his young family; correspondence—much of it, at least; and the later years with materials relating to his various personal interests, family history, and tributes, eulogies, and obituaries. As much of it was generated by Al Reimer as was generated by family members, educators, friends, and colleagues.
Location: volume 6662.
