Welcome Rev. Michelle Down!
We are very pleased to welcome our new Minister, Rev. Michelle Down. She will be joining us on September 1, 2020.
Michelle is returning to Eastern Ontario where she was ordained 25 years ago. To quote her own letter of introduction… She comes to us ready to serve, and to share the gifts that she has been granted and ready to lift up and shine a light on the gifts we have been granted.
Hopefully by September, we will be worshiping in our sanctuary and everyone will have the opportunity to meet Michelle and welcome her to Edith Rankin in person.

In-person activities cancelled
ALL in-person worship services and gatherings are cancelled indefinitely in order to help mitigate the spread of the covid-19 virus. We will re-assess at the end of April and post an update. Worship Services in our “virtual worship space” will be offered on Sunday mornings at 10 am, including small breakout groups for check-in and conversation. A recording of parts of the service will be posted here each week.
Please take all precautions for yourself and those close to you.
Be kind, be generous, and pray for one another.
