Join us in person or via our livestream on Sunday, November 20 - Reign of Christ Sunday

A very special warm welcome to those of you joining us here in person or via livestream this Sunday, November 20th, 2022 at 10:30 am - and to those who are tuning in to the recorded services later in the week! If you'd like to read the sermon, prayers and even the children's story, the Service Bulletin is linked below. Today we are celebrating Reign of Christ Sunday.


Susan Toller will be leading the children out of the sanctuary for stories, games and crafts following “A time for all God’s Children” during the service. Please contact 
Susan for more information and/or to confirm your child's participation (especially for children under 2, as we may need additional assistance). She looks forward to meeting with them!


Our service this week will be lead by our guest Minister, Dana Doucette, Minister for Youth and Young Adults (YAYA) at the United Church of Canada. Our scripture reading will be read by Brad Munro and comes from Psalm 46 and Jeremiah 23:1-6.  James Caswell, our Minister of Music and the choir will lead us in music and song.


Our service bulletin with hymns, texts and announcements is linked here.

Zoom Coffee Hour:

As an experiment until the end of December, the popular weekly Zoom coffee hour will take place at 11:30 am right after the service, instead of 1:00 pm. The Zoom host will be at a computer in Fraser Hall at the in-person coffee time, and people who are there can stop by to say hello to the Zoomers. If you're joining us remotely, please consider joining the fellowship of Zoom coffee hour right after the livestream is completed - around 11:30.
