Announcement for New Mission Centre Financial Officer:

I am pleased to announce that High Priest Kerry Richards has accepted the position of Mission Centre Financial Officer for Canada East Mission Center. Kerry is a member of the Hamilton, Ontario, Community of Christ, where he has been active in congregational leadership and small group ministry. As a former Seventy, he retains a heart for mission, and he has served in a variety of leadership positions through the years. He is the current President of the Board for the Sionito and Zerin non-profit, low income housing projects affiliated with Community of Christ, and a board member of the Bill McMurray Residence housing project. Professionally he has held positions of sales, marketing manager, sales management, business development, franchise director and VP sales and marketing. His business experience will provide a good foundation of skills for the role of Mission Centre Financial Officer.

He will begin working with Mike Hewitt on August 1, with orientation and training for his new responsibilities. When Mike officially retires as MCFO on September 1, Kerry will be ready to assume the role. He brings to this role a positive, innovative personality full of energy, hope, and dedication to the mission and message of Community of Christ.

Help Strengthen Canadian Field Peace/Justice Efforts !

Part of the church’s calling is to address the Canadian-specific issues that swirl around us. Rather than feel overwhelmed, the Canadian Peace/Justice Committee wants us all to feel anchored and energized as we join others in addressing these issues. We have created subcommittees and are looking for people drawn to help the Canadian Field in the following areas:

- Does “Attawapiskat” bother you? Does #IdleNoMore either perplex you or give you hope? Then consider joining our subcommittee on First Nations issues as we seek the Spirit’s wisdom that will free us all from the legacy of that troubled past.

- More prisons. Justice that doesn’t seem just. Where is “restorative justice”? If any of this concerns you, consider joining the subcommittee on our Justice System;

- The stigma – “Depression”, “Bipolar”, “ADHD” – the list goes on. Consider helping to remove the marginalization felt by people with Mental Health issues by joining our Mental Health subcommittee. We are all God’s children and thus are all due the accompanying sense of full dignity and self-respect;

- Human Trafficking in Canada? YES. Crushed dreams. Scarred bodies. Perhaps within a block of where you worship. If this troubles you, consider joining our Human Trafficking subcommittee.

- Canadian Aid misapplied; tied to Canada’s advantage. Consider joining our Foreign Aid / International Development subcommittee if you want to help ensure that Canadian efforts to address international poverty and relief is properly anchored and directed.

Here is a list of some other areas where we would cherish your help:
- Immigration / Refugee Assistance;
- Environmental Concerns, from GMOs to climate change;
- Military / Peacekeeping;
- Inter-Religious Relations;
- Others? Child Poverty, etc. – let us know your area of concern.

Feel God’s Spirit calling you to any of the above issues? Then please contact a committee member, listed below. Don’t put it off. As a church committed to the pursuit of peace, there are many ways that we, under God’s Good Spirit, can join with others to help further God’s desire for true shalom for all!

Introduction from the CEM Young Adult Leader - Emily Whitworth

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to those who presently do not know me. I was born in Orangeville, Ontario to parents Deb and Gary Whitworth and have two older siblings; Amy Rayfield and Josh Whitworth. I grew up on a small hobby farm close to the village of Grand Valley which has always been my Community of Christ home congregation. Being raised on a farm, I have always had a strong love for animals. I was even a Toronto Zoo Keeper for a Day, you can ask me more about this when we meet. I have attended many camps at Noronto and Ziontario and have developed many life long friendships from those experiences.


After graduating from high school I attended Graceland University in their four year Business Administration program. I loved every moment at Graceland being a part of the SOLAH (Sisterhood Of Love and Honor) House, as well as a COSA (Campus Organization of Social Activities) representative on the campus board. I was also Sting, the University mascot, for a short time, so I do have a silly side. During my time at Graceland I had the amazing experience of traveling to Honduras to help build a community school where I learned the importance of giving back, not only worldwide but in our local communities as well. The generosity of the people in Honduras who have so little, will be an experience that I will never forget. I was also very fortunate to be a Graceland Representative during the summers while attending university, so many may remember me from that.

After graduation from Graceland University, I returned to Canada, thanks to my determined father who sent me many Canadian items during my four years away, as constant reminders. I currently live in Kitchener and in my free time I enjoy biking, hiking, gardening, playing softball, cooking and recently a passion for decorating cakes. I have worked in a number of positions in the banking industry and now look forward to the challenges and joys of this new position as the Young Adult Leader. Please feel free to contact me with any suggestions or concerns. I am very open to feedback and look forward to meeting and creating new relationships with the young adults in the Canada East Mission.

God bless
