Northern Lights - 100th Anniversary

This Sunday we will celebrate Pentecost and the Centennial of the United Church of Canada. The theme for the Centennial is Deep, Bold, Daring. One of the first “united” churches in the world, from its formation the United Church has been rooted in

Deep Spirituality
The words of Jesus’ prayer that the disciples be one (John 17:21)

Bold Discipleship
The belief that what unites us is stronger than our differences

Daring Justice
The desire to live out the gospel call to love and justice in Canada and around the world

We have envisioned using the imagery of the Northern Lights as a representation of the Holy Spirit this year. This imagery connects us to our Canadian context where we live and work and have our being, and it also moves away from images of fire at Pentecost, an image that is becoming increasingly triggering and traumatic for people as we live in the midst of climate crises and destructive fires. Please join us for this special service this Sunday.
