All welcome to Leaside United in person, on Zoom or on YouTube to hear Cheryl Stenson talk with us about Saying YES to God.
MORE ABOUT CHERYL:
Cheryl has been a member of Glebe Road United Church since getting married there in 1996. She began at Glebe serving coffee and tea in fellowship hour, became secretary of the board, then Clerk of Session, and then Chair of the Board for many years. Her greatest joy at Glebe has been singing in the choir and the yearly musical events.
The Glebe sanctuary has been the venue of Cheryl’s wedding, the baptism and confirmation of her daughter Melodie, and the funerals of her grandmother, mother, and, most recently, her husband, Bill. And her church family, the “Glebers”, has seen her through it all.
Over the years, Cheryl stepped into the pulpit when Glebe’s minister was away and found a passion in creating services and sermons. Eventually, she decided to take the Licensed Lay Worship Leader (LLWL) course with the United Church of Canada, receiving her license in December 2021.
Cheryl firmly believes that God led her to Glebe for many and varied reasons which have revealed themselves over time. She has found joy in worship and support in friendships and she is a devoted “Gleber” (a term she coined many years ago). Cheryl also helped coin Glebe’s mission statement, “Inclusive. Inventive. In Faith.” She aspires to reflect those same qualities in her work as an LLWL.
