A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove, but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.

Mayfair United Church is lucky to have Warren Hay as our worship pianist.

Rev. Bonita Chad
V.A.M.
My 4 children and 10 grandchildren live in Saskatoon and Pilot Butte.
I was a registered nurse for 27 years, before going back to university to study theology. Following ordination, I served as a congregational minister in 3 pastoral charges in Saskatchewan from 2007-2012. I have also served as a prison chaplain for 8 years, in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
I am passionate about social justice, inclusivity, truth, non-judgment, respect, spiritual care/counseling, worship, sacraments, preaching, meditation, and teaching.
I am also passionate about pork chops cooked with lemon and garlic, peanut M&Ms, nature, reading, puzzles, crosswords, and dancing.
