GATHERINGS
This spring, The Presbyterian College in Montreal, Que., hosted an encouragement conference for pastoral leaders. Attendees had the opportunity to find rest and renewal through meditative and collaborative art, scripture and live music. We are grateful to the Rev. Dennis Edwards, Phil Irish and Chad Linsley for their contributions to this confer- ence. Pictured are conference participants creating a piece of art based on a passage of scripture, as well as partici- pants using a hand-mixed paint colour to paint a portion of the body of Christ, and worshipping at St. Jax Centre.
A book launch was held at Armour Heights Presbyterian Church in Toronto, Ont., on June 10 for a new book written by Angel Power entitled From a Caterpillar to a Butterfly: The Transformation from Victim to Victorious. Angel is pictured signing copies of her new book (above). Also pictured (left) is the Rev. Deb Stanbury, Community Chaplain and Executive Director of ARISE Ministry, which strives to empower individuals targeted by the sex trade or who are at risk of sexual exploitation.
On June 26, the congregation of First Presbyterian Church in Brandon, Man., celebrated the baptism of Dundee, daugh- ter of Ben Hwang and June Jung, and granddaughter of Sheila Scott. Dundee was baptized on this day by the Rev. Laura Hargrove.
