ANNOUNCEMENTS

Today the Session welcomes Rev. Steve Boose  to our pulpit.  May God bless Rev. Boose as he leads us in worship and ministers the living Word of God.  

Rev. Boose was born and raised in Windsor, ON, and grew up as part of the Forest Glade Presbyterian Church congregation.  His history degree was followed up by four years at Knox College, Toronto, after which he and his wife, Kathy, moved to PEI for five years at his first pastoral charge.  While there, they adopted three children, Kooper (now 17), Lyndsay (16) and Austin (14).  For the past ten years, Steve has been the minister at St. Andrew’s PC in Strathroy, Ontario.  He enjoys reading history (especially the world wars of the 20^th century), science fiction and fantasy, playing both video and board games, and is getting back into golf.  He cheers for the Blue Jays and the Maple Leafs, and could be convinced to cheer for the Battalion since his beloved Windsor Spitfires are in the other conference of the OHL.  He believes in the power of drama, the essential nature of teamwork, and the blessing of song, both in the church and in the world. 

Rev. Wendy Lampman will lead a meeting following this service when the congregation will decide with a vote.

Next Sunday,April 28th,  we welcome Emma Duncan, Mission and Outreach Sunday.

W.A. Book Sale May 4, at Linda Cairns, help and donations welcome.  905-877-1236.
