| MR.
BUTLER: |
Last week being Volunteer Week, I want to pay tribute to
a young gentleman from my district. I rise today to
congratulate twenty-one-year-old Trevor Deering of
Shearstown on completing a three-year training session
in pastoral studies at the Vanguard Bible College in
Edmonton, Alberta.
Trevor was an active volunteer in his community,
taking part in events for children, and performing at
benefit concerts to assist those in need; truly a caring
and compassionate individual.
One of eight who graduated with top honours from
Ascension Collegiate, Bay Roberts, Trevor had a dream to
serve others. After a training session with The Billy
Graham Association, his dreams were on the road to
becoming a reality.
On April 26, 2009, Trevor became a credential holder
with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Newfoundland and
Labrador and will soon be assigned a pastoral charge. I
have no doubt his new congregation will be delighted to
have him and I know he will serve the community well, as
he did in the past.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all hon. members to join with me, as
well as his family and many friends, in congratulating
Trevor Deering and wishing him continued success in the
future.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
