Hi all,

I pray this message finds you well!  There are a number of things that we need to communicate to you and so, before the list gets any longer, here goes:

1. Leadership changes and transitions.  This year, we have said thank you (!!!!!) to three directors who stepped down at Evening and Morning Edition (Christine Smith, Donna Lowe and Kim Parker!) and welcome to Nicki Gill (EE) and Angela Wallace (ME)!  Each of these women has brought their unique gifts, talents and passions to our WM and we thank God for each of them!  Please continue to pray for these women and for our WM during these seasons of transition.

We also ask for your continued prayers as I transition out of Women’s Ministries and into Compassion Ministries in our church.  This is such a bittersweet move for me.  I have loved being Pastor of Women’s Ministries for the last 6 years and so am grieving ….but am also *very* excited about helping lead Trinity to make a greater impact on Kelowna and the world.  Please pray for Twyla and me as we work through this transition time. 

2. There are a number of upcoming workshops and conferences we want to make sure you know about:
