LOUISVILLE — Memorial services for the Rev. Roger Harp, a longtime presbytery and synod executive in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) will be held Feb. 23 in Grand Island, NE. Harp died Feb. 18 in a traffic accident on Interstate 80 while on his way to pick up his wife, Carolyn, in Lincoln, NE. He was 58. …
Roger was the Executive Presbyter of Heartland Presbytery when I was presbytery moderator in 2001. I had the opportunity to work extensively with him. He left Heartland Presbytery a few years ago to become a Synod Exec. but had just returned to Nebraska to pastor I church. I saw him last fall at a meeting, and we enjoyed catching up. Roger had a pastor's heart and was one of the most affirming people I have ever known. I hope you will keep Roger's family and friends in your prayers. He will be missed by many.
