Cam will be participating in
a Christian Peacemaker Team delegation to Kenora and Grassy Narrows from May 1

care. While he is gone, pastoral care continues to be provided by the
Elders (Julie Reesor, Jeff Steiner and Glenda de Vries). You can call the
church phone for help at 905-640-9730 or contact them directly.
