Dear Friends at
Knox,
I trust this message finds you all well. Here in
Montreal I am busy wrapping up my second year at Presbyterian College. This
past year has been both challenging and rewarding. Final exams will be over in
another week or so, and with that I will have completed the requirements for my
Bachelor of Theology. All goes well, next year should see me completing my
M.Div.
I have been
invited to serve as student minister at Barrhaven for the summer. Barrhaven is
a developing congregation without a permanent church home as of yet. I will be
leaving for Ottawa on May 1st, and will be there through August.
While there I will have a place to stay provided by the congregation, and will
be driving back to Montreal regularly to visit with my folks. Although my mom
recently spent some time in hospital, they are now both doing well, and will be
celebrating their 64th wedding anniversary this June.
There is also a
conference here in mid-May being held at Presbyterian College which I will
attend. It is being put on by Canadian Ministries and has to do with new church
development, which should allow for practical application at Barrhaven. I will
also be at General Assembly as PC student rep the first weekend in June, along
with Dale Woods and Ian Victor. Convocation is on June 3rd, and I am hoping to
make it back to Montreal in time to wear my cap and gown.
So as you can see
the life of the ministerial student is anything but boring. I don’t know when
next I will be in Burlington, but would like to invite all of you who might
happen to be in Ottawa this summer to join us for worship at Barrhaven. In any
event, I hope to see at least a few of you soon at General Assembly in
Waterloo. I wish you all a blessed Easter!
Yours in Christ,
Victor

them, ‘Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has
risen, he is not here; see the place where they laid him.’” (Mark 16:6)
