K0L 1C0Who we are
The Bancroft Carlow Pastoral Charge is a 4 point charge of the United Church of Canada. Two of our churches, St. Paul’s United Church and Carlow United Church are open year round with regular worship services held Sunday mornings. Our other two churches, St. Andrew’s located in L’Amable and St. Matthew’s in Baptiste Village are open during the summer months. St. Andrew’s is used for alternative types of events such as a Strawberry social, music evenings and cross cultural programs. From Father’s Day to Labour Day, 2019, St. Matthew’s will be holding services Sunday evenings with food, music, stories and fun based on the Chautauqua shows.
Our churches are a place to worship and experience the joy of a welcoming community. We often have times to eat together. St. Paul’s has a choir led by our music director who plays our beautiful baby grand piano and the organ. St. Paul’s, Carlow and St. Matthew’s are accessible and are well integrated into the needs of the community. St. Paul’s, Carlow and St. Andrew’s have active The United Church Women groups and are always open to new members. St.Paul’s UCW have a Prayer Shawl program whereby they knit and crochet prayer shawls for people who are in need of comfort.
Outreach is an important part of who we are. In 2018 we sponsored a Syrian refugee family. We provide grocery cards to those in need of food and financial support to community agencies such as North Hastings Community Trust, St. John’s Helpers (weekly community lunch), Bancroft Community Transit and youth and children’s programs We have provided wood, gas cards and beds to those in need. Part of our Outreach is to organize events for the community such as Theology on Tap (a theological discussion group that takes place at the local tavern), sponsoring films in conjunction with our Indigenous community and lunches. We support PFLAG and are allies for LGBTQ2 Spirit.

Leader Bio:
Rev. Lynn was born Lynn Young at the old Red Cross Hospital the fourth of five children to Art and Gwen Young.
Her family home was right across from the present day Beer Store in Bancroft, Ontario.
Her love of church and understanding of the Christian faith came from her Mom; her love of people came from her Dad.
It seemed only fitting that at the age of 12 she felt called into ministry. Like a switchback trail leading up a steep mountain Rev. Lynn’s journey to ministry would take some time and some twists and turns.
Along the way she picked up her most devoted travelling companions: her husband, Glenn, over 37 years and 3 daughters, Jacqui, Janet, and Carrie.
St. Paul’s United Church in Bancroft would be instrumental in the shaping of Lynn’s ministry as were the other churches in the North Hastings area.
She became a candidate for ministry in The United Church of Canada in the Spring of 1999. She attended Queens Theological College and graduated in 2002 having completed studies for a Masters of Divinity and an eight month internship in Windsor Nova Scotia.
She was ordained in May of the same year.
Since her ordination she has served 4 Pastoral Charges from the Ottawa Valley to Calgary and back to Prince Edward County.
In July of 2012 she returned to her hometown to become the minister to the Bancroft-Carlow Pastoral Charge.
“It has been the greatest honour and privilege to share in the ministry of these churches.”
As year six begins Rev. Lynn is excited about the work to which God is calling. Inclusion, forgiveness, and diversity are the hallmarks of a great church…and “I have four of the best!” says Rev. Lynn.
Join us in our worship and our work…for you can’t have one without the other.

Listen, my friend!
Listen, my friend! Your helplessness is your best prayer. It calls from your heart to the heart of God with greater effect than all your uttered pleas. He hears it from the very moment that you are seized with helplessness, and He becomes actively engaged at once in hearing and answering the prayer of your helplessness.
