The Reverend Dr. Dorothy Jeffery came to Gladwin Heights United Church (GHUC)
in July, 2002.
Understanding faith as a constant aspect of our lives is central to the
message Dorothy brings to her ministry. She has a strong interest in Christian
education and worship leadership and strives not only to serve the
congregation of Gladwin Heights, but to reach out to people not currently
connected to a faith community.
Dorothy is married to Wayne who is a forensic scientist consultant. They have
one child, Barbara, who is a graduate of Simon Fraser University in
Kinesiology.
The Council of GHUC consists of an executive, a Presbytery
representative and representatives from the following committees: Worship,
Property and Maintenance, Christian Education, UCW, Outreach, Membership,
Fellowship, Finance and Stewardship, Ministry and Personnel, Youth and
Pastoral Care and three members at large.
CHOIR
A friendly,
welcoming group of adult choral singers committed to the Music Ministry of GHUC.
Our music director, June Dolman, brings a wealth of experience and musical
gifts. Her background includes soprano soloist in church, community and
musical theatre, pianist for swing band, dance schools, jazz band and choir.
