Please join us this Sunday, January 5 for our New Year's Celebration Service

Although we may have already packed away our Christmas stuff, may we strive not to pack away the associated spirit of kindness and generosity along with it. Offering meals for those at risk and who live daily with food insecurity, visiting a neighbour who otherwise lives in isolation, financially supporting broader community projects in Canada and around the world, are opportunities to practice generosity and grow deeper in our faith. This is the blessing that we get to take part in through our generous gifts to the Mission and Service of the United Church. Mission and Service works to transform lives, inspire meaning and purpose, and helps in the building of a better world.

Rev. Dr. Teresa Burnett-Cole will lead the service. Edith Gardell will offer the land acknowledgement, and Rev. Sue Toller will lead the Theme Conversation for children and adults. The scripture reading will be Luke 21:1-4. Our Minister of Music, James Caswell and the choir will lead us in music and song; the anthem will be "Star of the East" by Alan Bullard.

Here is the bulletin for the service to follow along with the words of texts, hymns, songs and prayers. You can join the service live at 10:25 am at this YouTube link; after the service ends it will be available to watch as a recording.
