Office Staff Change
Farewell Jeanne Day!
Jeanne Day our Church Office Administrator is retiring this month. Jeanne has been such a gift and the right person to do this job through so much change like COVID restrictions & shut-downs, people going and coming, and a Lead Pastor transition. We can’t say enough about her care for the staff, all of you, and Centre 150 in her day-to-day responsibilities. Her professionalism, confidentiality, no non-sense approach to the role, along with her laughter, creativity and perseverance made her the best person for this role. As a staff team we are going to miss her dearly. She will continue to attend SCC and will be helping us with the transition this month, you may see her in the office or helping at the HUB on a Sunday.
Welcome, Natasha Gillis!
Natasha has been volunteering in the office since 2018 and is ready to step in and transition into Jeanne’s role. Like Jeanne, we see God’s timing in Natasha coming into this role. As we step into the things God is doing, we continue to evolve and grow as a church. In the last year Natasha worked for a local non-profit and she brings new skills and experience into the role that we know will be a blessing. As a staff we are excited to work with Natasha in this role. You will find her in the office 4 days a week and she will be supporting the front area on Sunday’s.
Staffing Changes

Prayer Ministry Teams
At Summerside Community Church we believe that prayer is our power. Prayer is for everyone and for certain situations we do have a specifically trained prayer team.
The role of the prayer ministry team is when we ask for the ministry teams to come up to pray with people on a Sunday or for a special ministry prayer service/event. This team is trained in the principles of prayer ministry and provided ongoing training and support. They value confidentiality, protocols, leadership, and submission to one another. You will know who is on this team as they wear lanyards. When responding to a call for prayer we can find ourselves in a vulnerable place and these teams are trained and supported to ensure that ministry time is safe for you to experience the love and tenderness of the Father’s heart.
Thank you to Jack & Shirley Ferguson who lead our current team. Please feel free to reach out to them with any questions or interest in the training. Jack — [email protected] or Shirley [email protected]
