Sunday, June 29

What does it mean to be a united and uniting church?
As we mark the centennial celebration of the United Church, we’re invited to reflect on what it truly means to be both united and uniting. This Sunday, we’ll revisit John 17:1–11 – Jesus’ final prayer – as a foundation of our core identity. Together, we’ll explore what our community of faith might look like if we fully embraced Jesus’ vision for us to be one.

Welcome: Karen Halliday
Tech Team: Nathan McDormand, Jamie Waters, Alan Thurston
Scripture Reading: John 17:1–11
Read by: Sarah Hovey
Reflection: Rev. Min-Goo Kang
