Here is an update from our Celeste Wilder. Thank you, Celeste!

Hi Denman United!

It’s been ages.  I thought I’d just touch base and say hello, as you may have been wondering what’s up with me and why you haven’t seen my face around church for many months.  As you may remember I took a break from leading services in the summer.  I felt that I needed a breather, and time to re-evaluate what felt authentic to offer as far as my involvement with the church.

Come fall, I was contemplating offering occasional services, perhaps along seasonal themes.  Around this time, the church decided to require double vaccination for in-person participation. This requirement doesn’t include me, so that answered my query as to whether to be involved in church this time.  (I won’t elaborate an explanation here for my decision).

Meanwhile, I am busy and happy in Courtenay.  If you’d like to be in touch and catch up more, you can email me 🙂 celestewilder1@gmail.com

I also want to thank you, the DIU community, for your warm welcome, support, and encouragement over the years.  Leading services, and facilitating visioning was a very valuable experience for me.  I learned so much..  Thank you for that opportunity.

I’m not sure what the future holds for you as a church, nor what my future involvement with you might look like, but I am very grateful for the time we have shared.

Blessings,

Celeste
