During an anniversary getaway several years ago with my wife Dawn, we fell in love with the natural beauty and slower pace of coastal life and made it our goal to retire here. Subsequent visits which included dropping in to see old friends Jaz and Leslie here at CLA Gibsons further strengthened our desire to make the move. Our goal took fruition upon my retirement from a career in policing in early 2016, and it was obvious that Gods hand was upon our decision as so many things seamlessly fell into place. I had the privilege to serve Delta Church as both a Board member and Men's group leader, and am honored and thrilled to be taking part in both ministries again here at CLA. Although we remain tied to the Lower Mainland because our children, grandchildren and extended families are there, we feel truly blessed to now be part of this community and church family. “And whatsoever ye DO in WORD or DEED, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, GIVING THANKS to God and the Father by him.” – Colossians 3:17
