Reflections & Connections Communion Sunday – June 6, 2021

June 30, 2021

This Sunday our Reflections and Connections service has two different possibilities.

On Zoom, we will be sharing Communion with one another, wish one another the Peace of Christ, and light candles for joys and sorrows. Rather than listening to a sermon, we will have four opportunities for personal reflection. Bring bread and juice, or something else to eat and drink for communion. If you are someone who likes to journal, also bring your journal to worship this morning.

On YouTube we are sharing several different worship options from the larger church. Just follow the links to a worship service that will connect with you this week.

Stories and Makers Nest – June 6, 2021:

This week hear the story of Samuel and make magic reveal drawings! Watch at 9:55 on Zoom, or any time on YouTube.


Next Sunday, June 13 is our Church Birthday! We celebrate 4 years since the coming together of Leaside United Church and Presteign-Woodbine United Church with a service that includes a world premiere by our virtual choir, as well as our Stewardship celebration slideshow.

Following the service will be a congregational meeting on Zoom, including a proposed addition to our mission statement and Council and Committee nominations for the coming year.

Pentecost Sunday – May 23, 2021

June 11, 2021

Today we welcome Lee-Ann Ahlstrom, Minister at Northlea United Church, in the first of two sermon and music exchanges with Northlea. Both Leaside and Northlea will hear Lee-Ann’s sermon as well as music from both congregations. The second part of our sermon and music exchange will be in June. It is a blessing to share in worship once again with our sister congregation.

This Sunday our service will be the same on Zoom and YouTube. You are invited to watch either way, but join Zoom at 11:10am for a time of conversation following the service.

If you would like to take part in a breakout room discussion before the service, join Zoom by 10:15am – or come even earlier and watch the Stories and Makers Nest at 9:55am. The program will also be about Pentecost and the Holy Spirit, and the activity will be a scavenger hunt that you can do sometime during the week.

Next Sunday

On May 30th our service will celebrate music, including some hymn favourites and reflections about how hymns and music speak to our spirits.
