Celebrating 100 Years of the United Church of Canada
This Sunday is packed with meaning and joy! It’s Pentecost—and what better way to celebrate than with a baptism? How about four baptisms! We’ll actually start at 8:30 am at Dallas Road and San Jose Avenue for baptisms by immersion. Then, come for our regular service at the Sanctuary and witness what the Spirit is up to—and don’t forget to wear red for Pentecost! After worship, stay for a community potluck lunch—bring a favourite dish to share—and help us give our Pride doors a fresh, fabulous touch-up in time for Pride.
