Reverend Rita Cattell
Rev. Rita Cattell believes that when we are connected to God and connected to a church life works better all around. Her sermons and newspaper columns are positive messages with practical information about how the Bible and the Christian faith that addresses the blessings and burdens of everyday living and the relationships we share with family and friends. She enjoys leading small groups that explore the bible or discuss a book. For her, Balzac United Church is a great example of a small church experience that welcomes everyone who comes through its doors. She is enthusiastic about the many projects that Balzac supports including tree plantings, the food bank, and highway clean up.
