“How can I pray for you?” Remembering Pastor Jim

January 10th was Pastor James Bzoskie Day, which was declared on January 5th at the Hastings City Council meeting. Pastor Jim was known for his encouragement and acts of kindness. Pastor Jim had a big impact in the Hastings community and beyond. January 10th was also Pastor Bzoskie’s funeral, which was held at the Hastings Middle School auditorium. The auditorium was full of family, friends, first responders, and community members to pay their respects to the Bzoskie family and to Pastor Jim. 

Pastor Jim was known for asking, “How can I pray for you?” as well as encouraging fellow pastors to “keep the main thing the main thing.”
