in Cambridge.
Born in Toronto, Rev. Gilson lived in
Mississauga for part of his youth before
moving onto Elora. From Elora he lived Ln
Ottawa for a year, then it was back to Elora
before moving onto ('ambridge.
In between his travels he took time out to
study for his Bachelor of Arts in Social
Developmental Studies at Renison ('allege
of the University of Waterloo.
After graduating from Renison, Rev.
Gilson explained he basically worked as a
social worker with the mentally retarded. In
this field he worked for a private company
as well as for St. Marys and District
Association for the Mentally Retarded.
His next move was onto Huron College
where he studied for his Masters of Divinity.
After his graduation from this course he
moved onto the church in Cambridge, where
he worked primarily with children.
"I was doing basically youth ministry.
and Sunday duty. It was primarily concern-
ing youth ministry," he noted.
Aside from his work with the church in
Cambridge, Rev, Gilson was busy with
another activity in that area, hockey
"I'm a goalie, so I'll he looking for a
team," he pointed out, adding that at one
point in Cambridge he mentioned in a ser-
mon that he was a goalie and had three of-
fers afterwards from people interested in
having him play for their teams.
Although he hasn't been in the area for
very long, he is enjoying it so far -It's a
much friendlier place than ('ambridge was.
which is a relief," he said.
He added that ('ambridge was a nice
place, but he had to approach people in that
area. However. in this area, he has found it
to be different. "People have dropped in to
say hello and to welcome me to the area ••
Another point he likes about living in (Tin-
ton is the fact that a person can walk to get
almost anything anywhere they need to
As he is in charge of two churches he ex-
plained there would be a lot of running
around involved, but there are areas of the
churches he is going to concentrate on
One concern he has lies in the fact that
there are no youths in his church He ex-
plained there are no youths helping with the
serving and there are no youth groups.
"I'll have to find out why and see what I
can do about it," he said.
The size of his congregation might he
another point he'll work on as it now rests at
approximately 60 members.
"There is a bit of building to do there. if
possible," he concluded.
