SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM REV. STEVE BOOSE
Dear friends, at the meeting of the Presbytery of Lambton-West Middlesex on June 19th,
the Call was presented to me after all of the appropriate steps had
been taken, and I agreed to accept it – this means that all the “legal”
hurdles have been more-or-less cleared, and all that’s left is time! We
have made arrangements to purchase a house at 175 Mountainview Rd. North in Georgetown, and we take possession on the 31st
of July – when we know further about our actual moving date, we will
have more to say about that, too. If all goes according to plan, I look
forward to being in the pulpit on the 11th
of August, and Rev. Wendy will be confirming a date for an induction
service as soon as possible. We are looking forward to all of the new
possibilities, new experiences and new adventures that will be coming
our way with this move, and all the blessings that we will share between
us over the course of my upcoming ministry to you. Let’s all walk
forward together with Christ!
