Chez LUCY

February 8, 2017

Youth at Leaside United Church made a difference this past Sunday, raising approximately $800 for local and global projects that the church supports. The group, known as LUCY, (Leaside United Church Youth) sold 37 tickets to congregation and community members to enjoy a meal at Chez Lucy, a fine dining experience held at Leaside United. The group transformed the auditorium into a magical space and spent Sunday afternoon chopping, caramelizing, roasting, grilling and steaming. Guests arriving at 6 p.m. enjoyed a delectable three-course meal and were treated to top-notch service as well as a number of live acts performed by the youth. It was a spectacular evening filled with food, laughter and most importantly, community.

Field Trip to a Rock Eucharist

January 23, 2017

A very warm welcome was waiting for us at The Church of the Redeemer’s Rock Eucharist. The music was fabulous! Our youth were really surprised to see a real band with electric guitars and drums. The sermon was interesting and the minister wore NO SHOES which was sort of weird but also kind of cool. We liked the way the priest talked about the lyrics during his sermon. Biggest difference noted was the use of real wine out of a silver goblet and that there were kneeling benches (which weren’t used during this service).
