POSTSCRIPT: MOVING INTO THE 21st CENTURY

---

Perhaps even more importantly, the congregation is looking actively to the future, as can be seen from a perusal of the current Annual Report, posted on this web-site.  In particular, a detailed facilities report has been prepared, looking at the physical facilities that will be needed to carry the church into the current millenium.

Rev. Brenda Faust concluded her ministry in June of 2004.  The Rev. Doug Lobb, former senior minister of Timothy Eaton Memorial Church in Toronto, and former Secretary-General of Congregational-Christian churches in the Unitred States served as Interim Minister from August 2004 to November 2005.  His ministry was marked by powerful, challenging and profound sermons, and memorable weeknight classes on new paradigms of Christian thought.  Laura Thompson was appointed as Youth coordinator, also in August 2004, and she quickly established an active youth group.  In October of 2004, an outstanding concert of artists from our community and from Vancouver dedicated a sophisticated electronic keyboard to the music ministry of our church and to the memory of Burt Wray.  Dr. Daniel Bogert O'Brien moved from Ottawa to serve as full-time minister with Squamish United Church from the end of October 2005 to August 2008; he stimulated us with his knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, his deep passion for the sacred, his ability to relate deep theological issues to current movies and his virtuosity on the banjo. Judi Rhodes commenced working as Sunday School coordinator in September of 2006; Laura Thompson relinquished this position due to personal demands consequent on adopting an infant from Kenya.

We notice a strange resemblance to Moses, as Phil. Harness (Chair of Board) thanks Wilf. Grolman for his efforts in organising the restoration of Trinity Hall.
