We Welcome with Great Joy the 47 New Members of Our Parish Family!

It’s been our joyous privilege to have 47 new members join our Parish family this past year!

Those who filled out a pew card these past 12 months, to show their desire to join our Parish, are Olufemi Aribaloye; the Bennett family (Jason & Jillian’s Mom; Jillian); Brenda Claudio; the Crazy Bull family (Shelley; Sonny, Naomi, & Sadie); the Ekomwenrenren family (Diana & Muyi; Osazemen, Osadolor); Miriam Goud; Mike Joslin; the Locke-Watson family (Wendy & William; Chase & Cody); Loret MacDonald; Kate & Elle McCombe; Doug & Karen McLachlan; Linda Penton; Angela Richardson; the Rozier family (Alyson & Raoul; Maya & Theo); the Scott family (Cheryl & Jason; Cameryn, Caelan, & Cieran); Rickie Lee Smith; the Sowale family (Femi & Ronke; David); Jacqueline & William Stoop; Ella Viray; and Mark Weston.

Meghan DeRuyter, Jason Gosselin, David Hutchinson, and Joeross Tino (all of whom we Baptized) were also welcomed as new members, but belong to families who’re already part of St. Paul’s.

We were delighted to be able to welcome many of our new members in person on May 25, with certificates and other tokens of our love, and the special Celebration Lunch pictured below.

Thank you, Suzanne Wray (our Newcomers’ Ministry Coordinator on Parish Council), for organizing this awesome post-Service food and fellowship! We look forward to welcoming all our new members in person (look for their photos to be added to this blog posting) in the upcoming weeks!
