Hello, St. Matthew’s and Bloor Street!

I hope that you are all doing well and have been enjoying beautiful summers! For those I haven’t had the pleasure to meet, I was a student minister at St. Matthew’s last school year during my studies at Emmanuel College. My time as a student at St. Matthew’s (and, for some of the year, with Bloor Street!) was one of the highlights of my degree.
The next step in my ordination process is a two-year placement of Supervised Ministry Education, which will take place at Runnymede United Church. To mark the start of this, there will be a covenanting service at Runnymede United on September 18th at 2:30pm. I am absolutely thrilled that Lauren will be preaching at that service!
It would be lovely to have any of you present at that service in person or online. The in-person service is at 432 Runnymede Road and it will be livestreamed on Runnymede’s YouTube channel. Your communities have played a very important part in my learning and formation as a minister and I would love to celebrate this day with you.
Hope to see you there or, if not, some other time soon!
Peace,
Laura
