This Sunday, we’re delighted to welcome Rev. Greg back to worship after a month of refreshing and inspiring time away with his family — and to celebrate Communion together.

Please note that our Sunday Service begins at 10:30. You are warmly invited to gather with us from 10:15 am, in our Sanctuary or online, for a time of musical reflection.

Temporary road closures are in place around Victoria’s Inner Harbour this weekend for the David Foster and Friends Concert, causing some traffic disruptions.

Event setup began earlier today, and the 500 block of Belleville Street is now closed to traffic and will remain closed through Sunday, August 9. Street-level parking in the 700 block of Government Street is also closed.

On Saturday, August 8, road closures will expand around the B.C. Legislature grounds. The 600 block of Government Street (between Superior and Belleville) will close at 3:00 pm, with additional closures taking effect around 4:30 pm on Belleville Street (Douglas to Menzies), Government Street (Belleville to Humboldt), and Menzies Street (Belleville to Quebec).

The David Foster and Friends Concert, featuring a drone and fireworks finale, runs from 7:30 to 10:15 pm — and luckily for those joining us earlier for our A Taste of Palestine dinner, we’re just a short walk from the Legislature lawns!

Sunday Jazz Matinee Presents the Great American Songbook Trio — with a very special introductory swing dance lesson!

Featuring the legendary pianist and vocalist Ms. Louise Rose, bassist Joey Smith, and drummer/vocalist Kelby MacNayr, the Great American Songbook Trio is a tour de force of jazz.

Some time ago Louise requested that we hold a special spot for anyone wishing to learn a few tips on the very basics of the joyous art of social dancing.

Over the past few months, we have been graced by the presence of our friends Alison and Andrew, two of the city’s beloved swing dancers and teachers. Although they are both unavailable to teach this week, we’ve invited a couple of other friends, Cave and Catie from the Swing Dance Association of Victoria, to give us a few pointers.

Everyone welcome! Beginners absolutely welcome! No experience required. No partner required. :-)

Dance lesson at 1:30 pm, live music at 2:00 pm
Admission by donation ($20 suggested but all are welcome regardless of funds)

Please note: there will be no Community Lunch on Thursday, August 13. But don’t worry, your unexpected diet will be short-lived! John and his delicious meals will be back next week.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria Capital Region, longtime friends of our church, invites the community to its Big Field of Fun Day! Join them at Victoria West Park (across the street from their office) for lawn games, arts & crafts, food, a social circle, connection, and plenty of summer fun!

The event is a celebration of the agency’s volunteers, mentees, families, supporters, and friends — and a chance to show appreciation for everything they do.

Join us for an evening of learning about Healing Pathway at Broadview United Church.

- Center and ground yourself through meditation and grounding exercises;
- Work with your own energy to create harmony in your body and mind;
