This is an exciting time as we set off on a new path following the retirement of Rev. Bill Cantelon after 16 years at CBUC.
Pastor Beth Parsons with
husband, Glenn Parsons.
Beth’s appointment as a halftime supply minister is for a minimum 12 months, and one of her primary duties will be to help guide the congregation through its transition out of the pandemic.
This will include working with church council to set a strategic direction, vision what ministry at CBUC will look like post-pandemic, and lead discernment around ministry needs and staff configuration.
She and Nancy will share responsibility for worship services.
Beth comes to us from Mt. Brydges in southern Ontario where for the last five years she was the solo minister for a two-point pastoral charge: Mount Brydges United Church and
Cook’s United Church.
Beth is a designated lay minister with training and experience in youth ministry and pastoral care.
She is also an accomplished singer and pianist.
For fun, Beth enjoys hiking, bird watching, canoeing and scuba diving.
