Staff Team

Reverend We are running summer hours during July and August. Welcome all

Rich Hamelin is our talented Music Director. Rich's excellent musicianship combined with his love of worship enriches our Sunday celebrations. Rich leads our Adult Choir and is always looking for new members. There are opportunities for musicians to offer their talents in worship throughout the year.

Sharon Pettipas ministers with our youth. Sharon has served in our church and is currently an active participant in the United Church of Canada. Youth Group activities are always lively and fun and often incorporate an outreach into the community. Sharon also leads the youth church school class twice a month.

Tara Nagy is our Church School Co-Ordinator. Tara, a certified Early Childhood Educator, brings extensive knowledge and enthusiasm to her work with the children and their leaders. Tara is also the Supervisor of Lyndwood Nursery School, which operates out of our church. Our children's education programs are well run, safe and teach our children biblical stories with opportunities for faith development.

JoAnne Lonsdale is our part-time Church Secretary. JoAnne will help welcome you if you stop into the church on Monday to Friday between 9:00 and 11:30 and is always happy to try and provide you with needed information over the phone. JoAnne is an integral part of our staff team who often is your first contact with Cawthra Park. She's the welcoming voice on the phone and presence in the office.

David Hill is our part-time Custodian. David works hard to keep the church clean and ready for all the different groups that use the church. As Lyndwood Nursery School operates out of the church, David spends a lot of time with mop in hand wiping up after us all.

Cawthra Park is administrated through a Church Board. With a Chair and Secretary, working with Chairs of Committees and other groups, the Board meets monthly to help set direction, keep the vision, and ensure that the "work of church" is also done in a timely, faithful fashion. We could not operate as a church ministry without the support and commitment of our leaders who serve on committees and groups throughout the year!
