Clergy Notes — All Saints’ Sunday, November 3, 2024
The Order of the Diocese of New Westminster serves to recognize and honour lay members of the diocese who have distinguished themselves in living out their baptismal identity and purpose in an exemplary way over a substantial period through service within their churches, in their broader communities, and in the Diocese. St. James’ can nominate one person every even-numbered calendar year, and the parish’s nominee for 2024 is Wayne Sample.
Wayne is deeply committed to the Servers’ Guild, is a patient teacher and pastor to the servers, and has a comprehensive knowledge and wisdom. His deep faith and generous humour ensures both lay and clergy work together to make the liturgy at St James’ reverent and holy. Wayne gives generously of his time both in this role, and also as Envelope Secretary. We are so blessed to have Wayne amongst us and we give thanks for his ministry and presence.
The Investiture Service took place on November 2. Congratulations Wayne, and thank you for your faithfulness and your love of St. James’!
