Email Scam Alert: The Pacific Region has informed us of another email scam going around that impersonates United Church ministers and church members. The email asks people to buy gift cards, using convincing emails and names (pulled from the internet!). The United Church of Canada and Rev David Cathcart will never ask for secrecy or help in this manner. Never respond to these emails, just flag them as SPAM and delete them. Call the Regional office or our church office if you have concerns. Please be wary!
