Bishop Sally Dyck will serve as Lakeside’s Preacher of the Week from July 29-Aug. 2. This week is supported by the Rev. Ruth C. Shannon Endowment. She will preach at the Hoover Community Worship Service at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, July 29 in Hoover Auditorium.
Having grown up on a farm in rural Washington state and moving frequently around the country for her career, Bishop Dyck explains her geographic history in a unique way.
“I’m from I-90,” she explains. “I-90 goes by where I was born and raised. I-90 has a ramp to Boston University where I graduated from college and Boston University School of Theology where I went to seminary. I spent 25 years of ministry as a pastor and a district superintendent in Cleveland, Ohio, and I-90 goes through that area. After I was elected a bishop in 2004, I was assigned to the Minnesota Annual Conference, and I-90 goes through the southern part of the state. I was assigned to the Northern Illinois Annual Conference in 2012 and reassigned for another four years in 2016. I walk across I-90 in order to go to my office at the Temple/First United Methodist Church in Chicago. I’m from I-90!
