As our Voluntary Associate Minister, Andy is
officially responsible for pastoral care. He also
volunteers to serve the Men’s Ministry through the
monthly Men’s Fellowship Breakfast. Andy’s favourite
scripture is Micha 6:8, “He has showed you, O man, what
is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do
justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with
your God?”
Andy grew up in New Liskeard, and moved to Pembroke
as a teacher in the mid-1950s. He first attended the
Community Church in 1974, when he moved to Deep River to
be the Vice Principal of Morison School. In 1977, he
went into Ministry as a candidate for Ministry from Deep
River Community Church. He was ordained in May, 1981,
and served in Chalk River, Kingston, Coe Hill and
Toronto, before retiring in 1999.
Andy lives in Deep River with his wife, Laurene. They
have three children and eight grandchildren. He enjoys
golfing, and admits to loving “to laugh, wear outrageous
comical ties and eat homemade butterscotch pie”. |

As the Church Secretary, Bea is responsible for the
daily co-ordination of church activities and compiling
the weekly service bulletin, but she gets the most joy
out of interacting with church members and visitors. She
joined Deep River Community Church in 1984, and has been
actively involved in the Sunday School, Women’s Circle
and Annual Bazaar and Tea. One of her favourite hymns is
“Be Thou My Vision”.
Bea has lived in Deep River for 33 years with her
husband Jim. She has one son, married and living in
Hamilton, and one daughter and three grandchildren also
living in Deep River. She happily spends a good deal of
her time chauffeuring grandchildren to their many
activities.
