People’s warden

Cynthia Morris

Originally from Detroit, Mi., Cynthia moved to Quebec in 1970 where she lived and worshiped in French until she came to St-Stephen’s (Mother church of Emmaus) in 1993, a refuge when her marriage was failing. She is recently retired, after 30+ years as an adult education ESL teacher. She has volunteered in Sunday School and on the missions’ support team for over twenty years. Because of her passion for mission and teaching, Cynthia was able to use several sabbaticals to make mission trips to Latin America and be involved in Bible teaching there. She has just submitted her master’s thesis in theology at ETEQ (École de Théologie Évangélique du Québec). Cynthia loves being part of a multigenerational community committed to a historic biblical faith which reaches out in compassion in the present and values our call to mission in the world.

Secretary

Colin Larose

Born in Montreal (1962) and born again as a young adult, I received a B.A. at Bible college in 1989 and a PhD in electrical engineering in 2002. I joined "Mentor Infolytica, a Siemens business" in 2005, and was promoted to Manager in 2009. I joined St. Stephen's around 1996, and in 1998 married Josée de Billy, who gave me Olivier (1999), Rémi (2001), and Geneviève (2002). I was a two-year Corporation member under Robin Guinness, a Discernment Committee member before we moved to ANiC, and have served on Alpha courses, Sunday school, gatekeeping, worship, sound setup and soundboard, and sacred suppers. Since 2017, I have been responsible for the prayer requests and after-service prayer teams. I see God's Spirit of love at work in the Emmaus fellowship. I am committed to personal growth and welcome an opportunity to apply my organizational skills outside of my known comfort zones.
