Lt-Colonels Donald and Ann Copple, currently serving as divisional leaders of the Ontario Central-East Division, are appointed respectively as Chief Secretary and Territorial Secretary for Women’s Ministries, Canada & Bermuda Territory.  They succeed Colonels Glen and Eleanor Shepherd who have applied for, and been granted, early retirement.

In order to serve for two years in their new appointment responsibilities, the General has extended the active service of Lt-Colonels Copple until 28 February 2010. Lieut.-Colonels Donald and Ann Copple will take on their new assignments as Chief Secretary and Territorial Secretary for Women's Ministries as of March 1, 2008.

While we will miss working with our friends and colleagues, Glen and Eleanor Shepherd, we assure them of our prayer support as they enter honoured retirement.  We welcome Don and Ann Copple to their new assignments at Territorial Headquarters.

Please keep these and others who are moving in prayer during this time of transition.

Blessings!

William W. Francis
Commissioner
Territorial Commander
