Cowboy Church a place for fellowship

    The service at Cowboy Church is a little different from most.

    The pulpit is a music stand, on the layer of sawdust and straw lining the sales ring of the Viking Auction Mart, surrounded with bars smeared with ‘recycled grass’, as Sedgewick’s Terry Leslie says.

  Leslie said he was trying to find a place to hold the services and was sitting in the Auction Mart’s restaurant when someone suggested he hold them there, “I walked straight across the room and asked Cliff, and he said yes, right off.” Cliff Grinde is the owner of the Viking Auction Mart.

    And so, on the last Friday of every month, Leslie opens the doors of Cowboy Church, where he says the congregation ranges from three, to a hundred on any given night.
