Rev. Lynne Gardiner is a second-career minister serving the rural United Church by choice and with great joy. She has been married to Hugh; the kindest, most long-suffering person around, who has put up with all of Lynne’s whims, quirks and ‘new focuses’ with patience and love since 1991. Hugh and Lynne are happy “empty-nesters” except for ‘fur-babies’ and adult children happily creating lives for themselves elsewhere in Canada. When not serving the church (which is all work, passion, calling, vocation and recreation simultaneously), Lynne sings in the local community choir, is a life-long learner and is enrolled in Continuing Education and loves to read, write and talk whenever she can.
