WORSHIP WITH LEASIDE UNITED CHURCH
June 12, 2022
Church Birthday
Please note that the timing is a little different this week:
In-Person: Arrive at 10:20am for a guest prelude, followed by a live baptism in-person only, and Lemonade on the Lawn after the full service.
Zoom: Gather as usual for an extra chance to start before the service begins after the live baptism.
YouTube: The livestream will begin 7-10 minutes later than usual.
Following the service we will also post the prelude as a recording so everyone can enjoy it!
All Ages Story Time moved online: Due to the likelihood of rain on Sunday, our All Ages Story Time will happen online at 9:50am over Zoom, and we will also try to post it later be posted online (on the Stories and Maker’s Nest playlist). Our theme is Mindfulness.
This Sunday, is our Church Birthday! In 2017 – 5 years ago! – Leaside United Church and Presteign-Woodbine United Church came together to form our new congregation. So much has happened since then! A renovation and a pandemic, just to name a few…
On Sunday, the Stewardship committee will be sharing the annual slideshow to highlight the many things our community has done over the past year. There will also be Lemonade on the Lawn following the service.
We encourage you to attend worship in person to celebrate the sacrament of baptism, and arrive at 10:20am for the prelude by our Director of Music Emeritus – Gerald van Wyck. For those not attending in person, we will post the recording later in the day.
We look forward to the many ways we will celebrate our Church Birthday, all that we have done together, and all that we are this Sunday!
