About Us | Wellington Square United Church

Message from the Wellington Square Board

As a returning member of the Official Board of Elders I would first like to thank all of the members that serve with me: Marg Torrance as Vice Chair, Sharon Mosher, Tony Wilson, Lauretta Weir, Joyce Pearson, Bruce Magwood, and of course Rev. Orville James and Rev. Katie Southon. We give thanks also for Brian Vickers as he worked along side of us for 1 ½ years as Presbytery Representative. I would also like to thank Tish Buckley as Past Chair and Alex Chapman as Past Vice Chair. Alex and Tish have served on the Board for 3 ½ years and we greatly appreciate all the time and experience and friendship offered by them both.
The work of the Official Board is both challenging and humbling and I have found it to be an exciting place to stretch and grow in my faith and in ways to serve this community. We have welcomed new staff to our Ministry team here and have enjoyed getting to know both Caitlin Belanger as our Youth Ministries Coordinator and James Bretzler as our 11 o’clock service Music Director. Both have added immeasurably to our community with their hearts for God and those they serve. We also continue to move forward with our Renovation Project and after having received Presbytery approval we now await bids and our final congregational vote for approval.
We will work with Stewardship and our Finance team as we educate the congregation on our plans for a new budget structure to fund our operational expenses as well as our Outreach initiatives and purposefully set money aside each month for a Capital Reserve fund for ongoing repairs and maintenance to this building. This is called the 10-10-80-budget approach, which will call us to live out what we are called to do as a church in, serving those beyond our walls here at Wellington Square. This will stretch us to think about what kind of work we can do in God’s name when we work together for one purpose in sharing what we have been blessed with.
The Board has spent many hours in discussion and prayer over financial issues and that will remain a priority for us to keep transparency and clarity for all to understand where we have been and where we are going.
We also look ahead at what Worship at Wellington Square will look like in the future to serve the needs of those that haven’t joined our family yet, and don’t know of the transforming love of Christ. We appreciate the efforts of our Congregational Care team lead by Lindsay Foster and Katie Southon and assisted by Neil and Sharon Mosher etc. Wonderful opportunities have been made to gather our family of faith at barbeques during the summer months making connections so that our big family doesn’t feel overwhelming and disconnected. Thank You from the entire congregation! So, as always, the challenge is before us to each prayerful seek ways to step up and find your voice and seek service that is fulfilling to you and honoring to our God. It is our joy and privilege to serve.

Tori Jones, Chair, Wellington Square Board
