ANNOUNCEMENTS
Our minister is Julian Munro. (Away this Sunday) Julian (they/them) is doing a Master of Divinity and a Masters of Psychospiritual Studies graduating (May 2027) and has been approved by The United Church of Canada to continue their journey toward ordination. Julian will be with Ebenezer United Church for a 2-year Supervised Ministry Education (SME) term working as our minister since September 1, 2026.
We welcome Pulpit Supply, Angie von Boetticher, LLWL, from Glebe Road United Church.
Angie spent her childhood in a small town near Cobourg, Ontario, where her father served as a minister. She has many fond memories of growing up in the church, helping her father, teaching Sunday School, and caring for the nursery during worship services.
Angie is the mother of a beautiful daughter adopted from Africa. She is a member of Glebe Road United Church and has served as a Board member for many years. Inspired by her years of living and serving in Africa, Angie founded the church’s Refugee Sponsorship Committee to help support others in need.
Her deep love of God and humanity led her to pursue the Licensed Lay Worship Leader program. A teacher by profession, Angie sees many similarities between teaching and preaching and feels comfortable in a leadership role. She continues to grow and learn and is embracing her role as an LLWL with joy and gratitude.
