Special speaker: Joy Sumyi Lee
Human Trafficking and God's Heart For Justice -

Joy Sumyi Lee is our speaker in the morning service and for the Lunch and Learn. Joy spent several weeks this past summer in Cambodia and brings a clear sensitivity to the matter of human trafficking. Joy worships at Runnymede United Church where she leads a worship band in the evening service.

A delightful lunch will be provided by Sunshine Multicultural Catering. The price will be $7.00/person. Given the sensitivity of the subject, we would suggest that this event is not suitable for young children.
