Joan Golden new minister at Brussels United
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
After several months serving the
Brussels United Church community,
Joan Golden has officially become
the minister.
As a student diaconal minister
Golden will be working 30 hours a
week between the congregations in
Brussels and Ethel as she continues
her studies through the Centre for
Christian Studies in Winnipeg.
Golden in very pleased that tech
nology will allow her to study while
she works in the two communities.
She will be moving with her hus
band Richard, an ordained minster
with the Monkton congregation, to
the Brussels manse. “He felt it
would be much easier for me (to live
in Brussels) since I have more trav

Golden.

current year of study. Golden says
she will be working-at the women’s
shelter in Goderich.

care facilities, as well as accounting
and vojunteer management. Golden

the church.
“I really loved that,” she says.
When her husband was ordained
in 1993 and the family moved to
Englehart in northern Ontario, she
also discovered her love for congre
gational work.
As she worked more and more
with the communities, in Englehart
and after her arrival in Brussels last
fall, she found her role in the min
istry becoming more defined.
Golden’s focus as a diaconal min
ster will be on Christian education,
outreach and pastoral care. “I see a

need for inter-generational pro
grams,” she says. The elders have so
much to offer as do the youth. We
need to work in the church and the
community.”
Golden praises the involvement of
the congregation in community
activities. “Brussels and Ethel have
been so welcoming. It is an awe
some responsibility to have a student
minister. It is extra work for them.”
She is very pleased she was
recently granted permission to do
sacraments and weddings. “I can
now do the full functions at this
charge,” she says. She will also be
