Meewasin Valley United Church (MVUC) has been in a time of decline and transformation for a few years. As a congregation they sought constructive ways to address both the decline and the ongoing transformation. They were served by a two year Interim Ministry which opened the door to thinking outside the box. I was called, in part, because of my expertise in transition ministry, to continue the work began during the interim time. I am almost two years into my ministry with MVUC and at this point in our life together we are engaging a Progressive Christian journey. Our hope is to live out our faith in ways in which our passions can be put to good use. This is an exciting journey, a hope filled journey and we would be delighted should you choose to be a part of this journey in any way. All are welcome at Meewasin Valley United Church. Feel free to call me to discuss your participation in small group gatherings and/or congregational life as a whole.
Oceans of Bliss to all,
Lorraine
