Pastoral Care Ministry
Contact: Lorraine Swaile  
A Lay Pastor is an individual who, in addition to the minister and elders,
provides personal pastoral care to members of our congregation who are in need of encouragement. 
Among the people in need are the elderly, the sick and the shut-ins.
Lay Pastors are members of the congregation who have taken training in pastoral care and
have agreed to serve as pastoral care-givers to members of the congregation through monthly contacts. 
This program keeps lay pastors and the minister aware of the concerns and health issues that may be happening in the lives of those who are in need of friendship, support, or acknowledgement.


Ladies morning coffee group
This group enjoys fellowship while creating crafts to raise funds for various church activities
and projects.
Some of these projects included making visits to shut-ins, jam making, blanket and
dishcloth knitting, and a plant and hanging basket sale. 
They made a contribution of $500 for new tables for the church hall and produced ten
knitted blankets for Fraserview, the hospice and Minoru Residence


Dinner groups.
Three groups meet several times a year for dinner and fellowship in the  homes of the members.  Members provide the food.  There is a rotation from home to home over the year. 
It is a good way to get to know people in the church.


Board of Managers.
Board members are elected at the Annual Congregation Meeting with each member serving
a three-year term.
The Board is responsible for the physical and financial affairs of the church.
The Board and Session work closely together on many issues to ensure the congregation’s
needs are met
 
Library
Librarian: Judy McIntosh
Don’t forget the church library! Judy has done a wonderful job stocking the library shelves with
books and videos.
If there is something you need, just give her a call. Next time you pass by,
stop and take another look – there is always something new!

Choir Director: Graeme Stager
The Senior Choir, under Graeme’s excellent direction, leads the congregation in hymns
and the music portion of Sunday worship.
Choir members share a love of music and a desire to sing and participate in Sunday worship.
New members are always welcome – just give Graeme a call, or better yet,
leave him a singing phone message!
