Sunday, December 11 : Advent 3 and Communion

This Sunday we welcome Rev. Heather MacDougall as our Worship leader and Suzanne Campbell, soloist.

This from Heather :

I was born in Charlottetown, and into the United Church of Canada.  I had the privilege of being shaped by people and activities at Trinity, Spring Park and Park Royal.  Drawn to ministry at a young age, I studied at Mt Allison University and Queens Theological College.  After ordination in 1986 I was settled in Saskatchewan and soon grew to love the people, the land and the church of the prairies. After 11 years in SK I was beckoned back to the Maritimes by family and salt waters, accepting a call to Cornwall Pastoral Charge (now West River United).  I have also ministered with pastoral charges in Sherbrooke, Qc, Hantsport, NS, and Bedeque North in PEI.  I retired in 2019 and now my partner Pix and I are enjoying living in our cottage home in Argyle Shore PEI.

 

We’re looking forward to Rev. Heather’s message this Sunday!
