Our Parish Remembers
Elsie Radford & Robert Strachan
Elsie Radford and Robert Strachan at the Parish’s first Annual Meeting on February 7, 2016. They represented well the Parish’s Anglican and United roots in the North Thompson Ecumenical Shared Ministry that came into being in 2015.
In August, the Church of St Paul learned that two long-time members had died within ten days of each other. Both had contributed much to the life and work of the congregation as well as the community of Barriere. The following gallery is a glimpse of their presence in our midst. We give thanks to God for their lives and witness. They will be missed.
