We are pleased to welcome Natalie Jahn, who has been hired for the Interim Young Families and Youth Leader position at Leaside United Church. Natalie began on Sunday December 9th and will be with us until the end of June, 2019.
Here is a brief bio in Natalie’s own words:
I was born and raised in the southwest of Germany. I studied Protestant Theology and obtained a Master of Theology from Heidelberg University, Germany in 2018. From 2015-16 I studied in Beirut, Lebanon, and this great time of my life has strongly shaped me, my faith and my worldview. As I love studying and as I am eager to continue learning about Theology I am currently working on my PhD in Practical Theology.
I have been involved in church since I was a teen, my involvement included preaching, youth work and leading Sunday services. I have also been involved in social work, I did various internships and volunteered for a long time in a hospice and an assisted living residence. I love being together with and caring for people, and being challenged by different worldviews, faiths and situations of life.
I moved to Canada in 2018 and continue to be amazed by Toronto’s vibrancy and diversity. I joined the team of Leaside United Church in December 2018. Thank you, LUC, for welcoming me so warmly!
I enjoy chocolate and tea, and I love doing sports, being together with friends and traveling.
