In this area he said he has found it to be different. "People have dropped in to 'say hello and to welcome me to the area." Another thing he likes about living in a - small town is a person can walk to get ahnost anything, anywhere they need to. As he is in charge of two churches Rev. Gilson recognizes that there will be a lot of running around. But he said, there are areas he intends to concentrate on. One concern he has, lies in the fact there are no youths inhis church, noyouths help- ing with theserving and no youth groups. "I'll have to, find out why and see what I can do about it," he said. The size of his congregations is another area he also intends to work on. "There is a bit of building to do there - if possible," he concluded.
