Leaside United Church has volunteer Tree Teams, which began September 2023, who work together to make Sunday mornings a warm and welcoming experience. Our volunteers enrich our community of faith in so many ways: being a welcoming presence for newcomers and long-time members, offering leadership during worship, and supporting our connection with one another. The Tree Teams work together to greet people as they arrive at worship, make and serve coffee, read scripture, and cleaning up at the end, with each person taking on a role that interests them. All ages and abilities are very welcome. Each Tree Team has two 2-week times scheduled over the year. If you would like to learn more about the Tree Teams, or try it our, please call or email Alison Jane, Office Administrator (alison@leasideuc.com 416-425-1253 ext 21), or speak with a greeter on a Sunday morning. Thank you to all of our Teams – the Crabapples, Junipers, Magnolias, Maples, Mulberries, Oaks, Pines, Spruces and Willows!
