  • linda clark

    My husband, Lorne and I moved from Pembroke in the fall of 2019 after living there for 40 yrs. The first Sunday we visited MCA, we knew it was our choice for a church home. The presence of Holy Spirit and the family atmosphere was so evident, the choice was simple. 

    I was a stay-at-home mom all our married life; had two children, a boy and a girl 5 yrs apart and volunteered at their rural school for many years. I helped establish a very large monthly, women’s community gospel outreach group and served on their executive as Chair and advisor, setting up home bible study and prayer groups in 3 communities that ran 15 yrs. I also travelled for them, singing and giving my life story for over 5 yrs. When the kids were in their teens, I became a Welcome Wagon Hostess In Pembroke/Petawawa, representing local businesses to ‘new moms and babies’ for 10 yrs. What a joy! 

    Lorne and I are currently retired but I just started volunteering at North Cavan School helping struggling readers.

    This position on MCA’s board is my second opportunity in this capacity since serving in a Petawawa Church Plant on Pastor’s Council. I look forward to assisting the Millbrook body move forward as a vibrant group of believers, serving the community as God directs.  Linda is currently serving her first year as a Board Member at MCA.
