He has served churches in the Maritimes, Peterborough and Oshawa areas

David enjoys all aspects pastoral ministry, from weddings to funerals
to worship and preaching. He is involved in organizing and developing
specialized ministries to the nursing and retirement homes in our community.
Judy Pringle has been leading the choir and playing

husband Bob operate a dairy farm near Owen Sound. She brings in strawberries for the annual choir summer party.
Jennifer Wilkie has been actively involved with
the church since becoming secretary in 1985. She is known by small
visitors as the 'sucker lady' as she keeps a string of sweets ready
to quiet a fidgety child. She keeps up with administration changes
by attending and organizing seminars especially for church secretaries.
Pat Wilkie as custodian has been the building maintenance
man at the church since 2000. He coordinates the sound board for services
and events as well edits tapes for broadcast. Since the launching
our web page in 2003 he has had custody of the church digital camera
with which he has taken several of the photos on this and the previous
web site. He strums a mean guitar and knows his way around a computer.
Muriel Lush became director of Faith Books Plus in July 2009. Since her early years when she read every book in the Epping school library, through High School in Meaford and McMaster University, Muriel has always loved books. Later she taught at OSCVI and sold World Book Encyclopaedia during her years at home with her children. It was a perfect match when she was asked to be the co-ordinator in 1988 of the new Grey Presbytery Resource Centre located in our church basement. When Central Westside took over the resource centre, Muriel became director of the new Faith Books Plus. She continues to choose books and other interesting resources you will love to use.
Say hello to Tongo, our Director of Greetings.
For the first year of his life he trained as a dog guide with the Wilkie
family. Too timid for service life, he returned to live with Pat and
Jennifer and so began his "career" as our D.O.G. He is security for
the church office and enjoys being spoiled by church members and visitors.
Tongo is the only one allowed to sleep through David's sermon!
