A Warm Thank You, St. John's!
On Sunday, May 31st, I was officially admitted into the order of ministry in the United Church of Canada! What a journey this has been, made all the more important to continue to serve this wonderful congregation. If you weren't such a great church I don't know that I would have stuck with it, but you've wormed your way into my heart! I'm delighted to now be your Family Minister. Thank you to those who made the drive to Wolfville; to those who took on leadership in Fall River to allow others to attend; to the many who joined in spirit; and even the former KOGA member who watched the livestream and sent texts throughout the service! I am forever blessed by your care and love. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. And, a thank you also for the beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered in person by Lois Miller, a co-chair of council, on the congregations behalf, they are beautiful. In love, and ministry, Rev. Jenny
