My Favorite Recipes - Meet Pastor Dennis and Marion Bay, Selbu

After 32 years serving as pastor to the Lutheran community of southwest Whitman County, the Rev. Dennis Bay will have to find a new identity in his upcoming retirement.

“Someone called the other day and asked for Dennis. I had to think for a second before I realized I was Dennis,” said Pastor Bay. “After so many years I’ve just been Pastor Bay. I may have to get used to Dennis again.”

Since 1979, Pastor Bay has presided over funerals, weddings and Sunday services at the domed Selbu Lutheran Church on Mud Flat. He will give his last sermon to the Selbu congregation next Sunday, Aug. 14.
