Terry Paul Choyce

In the summer of 2004, Brunswick Street United Church was blessed to have Terry Paul Choyce respond to our call for supply ministry. Since that time, Terry has become an integral part of our community here at BSUC. Introduced to us by the Rev. David Hart at Bedford United Church, Terry has volunteered her talents with grace, caring, and a willingness to learn, as well as teach.

Brunswick Street United Church and Mission is currently in a period of transition after the departure of our former Pastor and Director of Mission, the Rev. Gus Pendleton and his wife Lorna, our Staff Associate for the mission programs. Early in 2005, Terry was asked by the congregation to become our part-time interim minister. In addition to leading worship, Terry provides members of our community with solidarity and pastoral care. Her support and guidance have been invaluable .

Originally from the United States, Terry recieved her Canadian citizenship after being a long time resident of Canada. As well as her volunteer pastoral work with BSUC, Terry studies at the Atlantic School of Theology and is active in the wider community. She is a proud mother, and loves to dance and sing. Terry has hosted a weekly radio show on CKDU FM (Inner Connections), and is the former curator of the women's art gallery at the Halifax YWCA.

Most of the sermons presented here were first delivered at Brunswick Street United Church during our regular Sunday worship, and reflect Terry's responsiveness to our particular needs as a small inner-city church and mission. Her sermons illuminate the creative power of the Spirit with Whom we collaborate to reconcile, heal, and renew.
