My name is Jennifer Pearce, and I am a member of the Frederickton United Church in Frederickton, NL. Because my work takes me outside the province for much of the year, I attend services at home whenever I am able to return for a short break. As I prepare for my retirement in January 2027, I have chosen to begin studying to become a lay preacher. With no regular minister currently serving our congregation, our church leaders are working hard to keep the pastoral charge active. My hope is to support their efforts by volunteering to help lead worship services.
