West charges.
By Mary Peterson
CENTRALIA - The Centralia -
Zion West United Church charge
welcomes Heather Smith to the
area as the new minister. She will
lead the sermons during the month
of July.
Some of you may remember
Smith from the community church
service held last November at
Thames Road United Church. At
that time, she presented a mono-
logue entitled "Woman at ,the
Well".
Smith brings with her deep con-
victions and religious beliefs and
very good people skills. She
worked with Rev. Glenn Wright for
10 years and, when accepting this
ministerial position, resigned from
her position as Office Coordinator
at the London Conference Office.
She has also assisted with the ser-
vices at Crumlin Road United
Church, and will be missed by the
congregation.
As Inquirer in the Candidacy
Process for Ordained Ministry in
the United Church of Canada,
Heather is at the beginning of the
road that will lead to ordination. In
the fall, she will continue to work
on her B.A., and hopes to attend
Huron or Emmanuel College next
year. During the coming years, she
will work within our community.
Smith has recently moved into
the manse, and can be contacted
there at 228-6974.
Smith chose the topic "Life To-
gether" as her first sermon at Cen-
tralia United Church.

tee, Bob Hern, Brenda Hern, Mar-
