I was commissioned to diaconal ministry in the United Church of Canada in 2001.  I have worked in several communities in Manitoba (Minnedosa, McCreary, Kelwood and Alonsa), and came to Sunset United in Regina in July of 2006.  A couple of the things that drew me to this community were the opportunity to worship “in the round” – the chairs are set up in a circle and I can stand in the centre and speak to the circle gathered round me – and the fact that we are an affirming ministry of the United Church of Canada (publicly stating our welcome of all, regardless of sexual orientation, race or economic status).  What drew me into ministry was my commitment to working towards a just society for all, and my passion for pastoral care – for reaching out to those who are wounded or who are in need of knowing that they have companions on the journey.
