By Sara Campbell Expositor Stuff A local resident and a father/daughter team will be leading the services at both Northside and Cavan United Churches until a full-time minister arrives. Dave Williams, of Kirkton, has been a guest speaker at the church for the past three months and during the summer at the two-point pastoral charge. "I really enjoy coming back to Northside and Cavan United Church. They're wonderful churches and I always feel welcomed by the congregation," said Williams. The retired St. Marys District Collegiate and Vocational Institute teacher is also licensed to conduct ministerial services. The license does not allow him to conduct communions, weddings or baptisms and those activities will be officiated by Rev. Jane Kuepfer. Williams said that since his retirement in 1996 he has been filling in for ministers whether for holidays, sick leave or as an interim. He said during that period he has tilled in for nearly half of the United Churches in Huron and Perth Counties. "Going from church to Dave Williams, of KGrkton, has been a guest speaker at Northside and Cavan United Churches for the past several months. "We hope that we can help to reach both crowds as long as we have a message that people can relate to. It's great to hear people say 'that's exactly what I needed' and thank you," said Snyders. "It's a very rewarding experience. We've been very blessed to be able to do what we do — attending so many churches and making friendships with so many people," said Whitmore.
