PRESS RELEASE

March 9, 2009

For Immediate Release – Demorestville, Ontario

With the pews full, the congregations of Friendship and Wesley United Church welcomed their new minister at a formal covenanting service the evening of Sunday, March 8th.  Moving to the County in December to begin her ministry with the Prince Edward North Pastoral Charge, the Reverend Robin Sherman was all smiles.

“This church feels like you already,” commented Reverend Tim Hayward, chair elect of the Belleville Presbytery and worship leader for the event, as joyful laughter erupted often during the service.

Originally from Essex County in Southern Ontario, Rev. Sherman grew up in Kingsville, the youngest of five children.  Her parents travelled seven hours to be present at this special evening.

Long-time friend of Robin, the Reverend Peter Bartlett, gave the message saying that “the possibilities are endless when people say yes to God.”  He said that “Robin said yes to God and affirmed her willingness to travel the road with other Christians.”

A reception followed the service and the warmth of fellowship and caring filled the room.

Prince Edward North Pastoral Charge has two churches, Wesley United in Mountain View and Friendship Church in Demorestville.  Wesley worships at 9:30am and Friendship at 11am.  All are welcome to join either congregation on Sunday or at special events held at other times.

To contact Reverend Robin Sherman call 613-476-2020.  For more information on either church see www.friendshipunitedchurch.org
