Pictures to ponder

Minister's Musings ~

From Our Minister – Karen Ptolemy-Stam

Tomorrow, April 26th marks the beginning of my last month as your minister at St. Paul’s after almost 13 years. It has been a wonderful journey and Keith and I are happy to be part of the congregation. There will be opportunities in this next month to say our goodbyes. Many have asked us what our plans are for retirement and if we will be moving away from the area. Currently the plan is just to take time to have a second cup of coffee and relax. We will be remaining in the area; however, I will not be attending St. Paul’s and will not be having conversations about what is happening at the church. All of us, including Keith and myself need to grieve and make room for welcoming a new minister called to be at St. Paul’s. Like everything in life, new beginnings are just around the corner for all of us. 

Discovery Kids

Faith Formation is excited to announce that we have expanded to welcome in some volunteer teachers to help teach the Sunday Discovery Kids lessons. All of our teachers have been approved by and welcomed onto our St. Paul’s Faith Formation Committee. Our current group of teachers include Rebecca Amadei, Heather McDonald, Kim Belfry, Kait Byrick and Lynne Angus.

If anyone is interested in learning more about how to become a volunteer teacher, please reach out to Rebecca Amadei. 226 339 8218 rebeccaamadei@gmail.com.

Territorial Acknowledgment

St. Paul’s United Church recognizes that we are on the traditional and treaty territory of the Anisinabek people, now known as the Chippewa Tri-Council of the Beausoleil First Nation, Rama First Nation and Georgina Island First Nation people and that we seek to be in right relationship with Beausoleil First Nation. We have Inuk people and are the historic homeland of the Metis people. We have had a painful and tragic past; may we together work for a more wonderful, honouring, and dignity-filled future.
