Lay Minister/Warden - Leslie Pickett Hi,  I was born on Fair Island by a midwife, Aunt  Barbara Hunt and baptized in the St. Barnabas Church there three months later. This church was dismantled after we resettled in Centreville in 1961, a  new church was completed in Centreville in 1964, still named St. Barnabas. Between 1961 and 1964 we utilized the elementary school basement for classes, indoor sports, concerts and worship on Sundays. This is where my confirmation took place, up on stage at the school.  In 1968-69, I did a year of studies at M.U.N., then I went subject teaching grades 4-11 at Joe Batts Arm for a year, returning to M.U.N. to complete my B.A.ED degree. In 1973 I returned to Trinity subject teaching, mostly French, grades 4 to level 3 until 1996. During that time I worked with many grades within the school church and community, for example, started a French Club, organized school trips to St. Pierre and Quebec City, organized a youth church choir in Centreville  and Wareham, leader of the cub scout movement. Became a councilor for the town of Wareham, member of the public library board,  served on the vestry in Centreville and warden at the Wareham church for many years, parish representative on the Diocese Synod. Became a reviewer of financial books of the Parish of Indian Bay, some congregations, and ACW groups, helped serve meals at some fundraisers, visited seniors and shut-ins at their homes as well as senior homes in the area. I am still active in lay ministry, Eucharistic Ministry, cross bearer, member of the parish council of Indian Bay, warder at St John the Baptist church, parish men's choir at St. John the Baptist. In other words we bloom where we are planted. Last but not least I married my beautiful  wife Frances (Button) Pickett in 1971, we've been blessed with 3 wonderful children and 5 amazing grandchildren. I am very thankful to God for all these blessings and privileges He has given me to enjoy. To everyone who reads this, I wish you all the best that this life has to offer, I hope and pray the God continues to walk with you and your families, as well as mine on the rest of our earthly journey as well as our spiritual journey.

Lay Minister/Treasurer/Organist/ACW - Gladys Hunt Hello Everyone, my name is Gladys Hunt (Bungay) and I am a member of St. Barnabas Anglican Church of Centerville. My parents Emma and Lester Bungay along with my brothers Bob, Churnside, Lester and baby sister Grace and myself moved from Pork Island, Round Harbour/Sydney Cove and spent one year on Fair Island waiting for our family home to be relocated to the newly developed community of Centerville.  This Hymn Book was presented to Gladys by her Grandfather in 1960, when she was 14. This Book of Common Praise was revised in 1938. Quite a treasure.    I completed my high school at St Agustine Central High in Trinity and from there moved on to Memorial University where I did my studies in early childhood education. (Primary) I spent 30 years in the teaching profession, 28 were in kindergarten. The other 2 from grades 2-4; I taught in Tilton CB, Dover, Corner Brook, Catalina and finally at Wareham-Centerville. In 1967 I married, one could say my childhood sweetheart, Edgar John Hunt (now deceased) from Wareham, who had earlier moved from the island of Silver Fox. We had one daughter, Loretta Denise. Upon completion of high school she continued her studies in journalism at Carleton University in Ottawa where she met her husband Patrice Boivin. They have two wonderful boys, Stefan and Alin. Stefan graduated from The Art Institute of San Antonio Texas & B.C.. while Alin is studying grade eleven. In my high school days I had taken music lessons from Frances Barrow, where I learned to play the organ and played for the first time on Nov 13th 1960 at St. John the Baptist Church in Wareham. Currently I am the organist for St. John the Baptist Church, serve the parish as a Eucharistic Minister, Licensed Lay Minister, Treasurer for the St Barnabas Church as well as ACW president. My hobbies include reading and light gardening. My Prayer now is that our wonderful Saviour will give me the health and strength to continue for a while yet. Thanks to everyone for your continued support. Respectfully Submitted Gladys Hunt

Eucharistic Ministry/Organist/ACW Treasurer - Marilyn Rideout Greetings from Marilyn Rideout,   I am the eldest of five children, born to parents Joseph and Madge Dowden of Glovertown. At an early age I had an interest in music, so my Dad bought an organ for me, after a few music lessons my interest began to diminish. The cost of the lessons at $4.00 per a one half hour secession was a lot of money for my parents to come up with fifty years ago, so that was the end of music for me.   I married William Rideout from Trinity and we were blessed with a son and a daughter. Both of our children were musically inclined and thanks to Vera Penny. who had moved here to take a position as the music teacher, both children became involved. This sparked my interest in music again, we brought the old organ down from Glovertown and the lessons began. A few years later, Trinity was without a Church organist so I began to learn a few hymns. My angel of a mother-in-law, Hilda, would sit and knit and I would try to play hymns. She could tell every note that I missed, and believe me there were many. I attended church when I was  a child, but not of the Anglican faith. it took me awhile to learn the wording and tunes to the hymns.   I became a Sunday School teacher and when the old school closed, I opened Sunday School in my kitchen, until we were overflowing with children. Thanks to St. Alban's vestry they saw the need and a room was made ready at our then Parish Hall. At this time I also started a  junior choir and what a blessing it was. Every Wednesday afternoon the school bus would stop near our home and 15 to 20 children would meet for practice.   For the past 30 years i have been the organist at St. Alban's Church in Trinity. I direct both the joint and the men's choir. I am a chairperson of our cemetery committee. I am treasurer of St, Agatha's ACW. In December 2019 I answered the call to be an Eucharist Assistant.   With God's help I will serve our Church and Parish. GOD IS GOOD!   Marilyn
