On Wednesday June 13th, we celebrated Tanya Wiles-Bell’s retirement from Leaside United Church and her very successful 10 year ministry as the Christian Education Director and leader of the youth/kids programs.
The light within shone bright from speaker to speaker and through a trumpet/piano duet, songs from the choir, letters from former youth group members, poetry, memories and a treasured ukulele performance from her daughter. In company of her family and friends, Tanya swayed in the pew gently rocking her new grand-baby as the words and memories flowed from each speaker retelling stories of Tanya’s incredible creativity, kindness and inclusivity.
Leaside United Church wishes Tanya and her family the sweetest music to accompany their new dance!
