It is a great pleasure and wonderful surprise to become the Supply Minister of Grace United Church.  Having had a cottage in nearby Lowbanks for some years, our family has a special fondness for the Dunnville community.  And now, I look forward to the time that is before us and the opportunity to join in the ministry and mission of the Grace congregation within that community. My husband, Rev Brian Howell is Minister at Hamilton Japanese United Church so, although we won't be seeing him often on Sunday mornings, he will no doubt be getting acquainted at congregational events.  We have four grown children; Peter, Matt, Katelyn and Mark, as well as two dogs who, although they are both fully grown, are still living at home.
