Mission Awareness Sunday

Our guest speaker this year is Dwan Billings who is the Finance Administration Coordinator for
Presbyterian World Service and Development at the National Church Office, as well as the Treasurer for
West Toronto Presbytery, Jane Finch Reaching Up, University Presbyterian Church and five other
Presbyterian Congregations and three other churches of different denominations. Dwan helps to
strengthen faithful stewardship, accountability and trust. She says that she loves numbers and watching
them fit together is fascinating to her.

With academic training in Finance, Accounting, Marketing and Business Management, Dwan approaches
stewardship not only as a responsibility, but as an expression of faith – supporting the church’s call to
serve, respond and care for others.

The subject of this year’s Mission Awareness Sunday is the devastating effects of Hurricane Melissa on
Jamaica in late October 2025. Dwan and her husband have a property in Jamaica and were there in
March to assess the damage. She has many photos and stories to share with us. Donation envelopes will
be in your program.

Also, there will be cake!! One of the Billings’ four children, Shayden, is turning a year older that day and
we will celebrate with the family.
