Healing Series: Music – Sunday May 29, 2022

This Sunday, we continue our Healing Series by reflecting on the healing power of Music. As we focus on music we will hear a little background on our hymns and anthems, which include Prayer for Ukraine as well as the hymn When In Our Music God is Glorified. We are also planning for a small role reversal, as Matt leads our prayers and Emily plays our sung prayer response!

Today’s story from scripture is one you might have never heard discussed in church. It is a story about David before he becomes king, when he is known for his skill in playing the harp, and how he helps King Saul with this gift.

We will be lighting candles for joys and sorrows during the service as well.

Looking Ahead

On June 5 we will celebrate Pentecost.

Then, June 12 we will celebrate our Church Birthday!

COMMUNITY BREAKFAST, WORSHIP AND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

On Sunday, May 1st we will be having a short annual meeting for the congregation, but before the service starts we will have a Community Breakfast outside on the lawn for all ages. Whether or not you plan to attend the service, you are invited to come for 10am have your (likely second) breakfast and take part in activities that will range from signing cards for people in the congregation to drawing all over the sidewalks with sidewalk chalk (the more artists of all ages the better!) We’ll also invite those who are interested to share thoughts (with stickies) about our faith (creating a community prayer together) and where we are going as a church. For those who decide to stay for the worship service and short meeting, there will be a second opportunity to share food together outside at the end.

For more information contact Rev. Emily.

Leaside United COVID Response Team Update – Reopening Plan “Going Forward”

June 15, 2021

This pandemic has changed our lives and the life of our church. With the initiation of the Ontario government’s “Roadmap to Reopening” Step 1 the team met on Thursday, June 10th to discuss “Going Forward”. It is our sincere hope that by Thanksgiving we can enjoy an in-person service and also a livestreaming service, for those unable to attend in-person.

The team has been asked how do we get there from where we are today? What will our music program look like? Will we be able to hold committee meetings in the church? Why are there renters in the church and yet we are not holding in-person services? We all have questions as we enthusiastically and patiently wait for a time when the Church and the Building are Open!
