THE LIFE AND
WORK OF THE CHURCH
The Reverend Dr.
Kathy Edmison
We are pleased to welcome the Rev. Dr.
Kathy Edmison to Fairlawn Avenue as supply minister for the months of September
and October. Kathy spent the summer as the provisional supervisor of clinical
pastoral education for the Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region in Saskatchewan,
having recently completed four years as a chaplain at Sunnybrook. She has
launched two new United Church congregations in Barrie and served seven years
as minister at Eastside United Church in Regina. These callings gave her
experience in preaching, pastoral work, and administration. We look forward to
Kathy’s time with us.
A New Minister

We are delighted to announce the
calling of the Reverend Christopher White, currently of Westminster United

Development. Christopher

has a long, deep track record of building up his congregations so that they
grow in all aspects of church life. He brings a commitment to service in the
community and in the greater church. He is the author of several books on
church growth and a well-known speaker at Five Oaks, Queen’s School of
Theology, Emmanuel College, and various Conference functions. We look forward
