Welcome garden enthusiasts! During the summer months, a small group gathers at LUC for light gardening to help the church grounds remain as neat and attractive as possible. We will be meeting for 2 hours, beginning at 9:30 am, on the last Tuesday morning of each month (rain date Thursday morning of same week). Our next meeting date is set for
June 26th. No prior experience required! Any questions, please contact Marnie Walker . Thank you!
Please note that the Church Office will be closed July 1 – August 17, 2018. Please contact Rev. Emily directly. Phone messages and emails will be checked weekly.
Pastoral Care:
Please contact Emily (647-303-6709) for any pastoral care matters in July and August, except from July 22-27, 2018 (General Council) and August 13-26 .(vacation). Jean Marie Suchora, our pastoral care minister, is on vacation most of this summer, but will be providing urgent pastoral care coverage while Emily Gordon is at General Council July 22-27, 2018 (647-896-0241).

Everyday it’s important to show your true colours, but this week and month is especially important because it is Pride Month in Toronto and the Pride Parade will happen this coming Sunday, June 24th.
At Leaside United Church we became an Affirming Congregation just over two years ago and continue to learn about LGBTQ communities, language and relationships. We are allies and always offer a safe haven to anybody in the LGBTQ community and their support people. We are known for our inclusiveness and it shows in the pride colours we display.
Here are some of our favorites at Leaside United Church (including resources from our Family Library in the North Transept, and some questions from our big “Book of Questions”).
How are you celebrating Pride? A phone call to a queer friend, displaying a rainbow banner, having a party, getting married to your same sex partner? Whatever you do, we are thankful to be in a community where we can celebrate #Pride!
