This Sunday, we warmly welcome back Rev. Min-Goo Kang as our guest preacher. Min-Goo serves as Campus Minister at the University of Victoria and Intercultural Minister at Broad View United. He is known for his deep wisdom, love of nature, and passion for building authentic, inclusive communities.
What does it mean to be a united and uniting church?
As we mark the centennial celebration of the United Church, we’re invited to reflect on what it truly means to be both united and uniting. This Sunday, we’ll revisit John 17:1–11 – Jesus’ final prayer – as a foundation of our core identity. Together, we’ll explore what our community of faith might look like if we fully embraced Jesus’ vision for us to be one.
Join Min-Goo as he invites us to wrestle with Scripture, shares life-giving experiences from intercultural ministry, and reimagines a hopeful and abundant life together.
Welcome: Karen Halliday
Tech Team: Nathan McDormand, Jamie Waters, Alan Thurston
Scripture Reading: John 17:1–11

Update on Masking for Sunday Morning Worship
As we continue to discern what is the best masking practice at any given moment, for this next stretch of time we are lifting our requirement for masking during Sunday morning worship. However, if you are feeling more comfortable to continue wearing a mask, you are most welcome to do so. And as always, if you are feeling unwell, please enjoy worshipping from home via our very fine streamed services.
____________________________
Sunday service is also live-streamed from the sanctuary at 10:15am Sunday morning. Please participate, live on YouTube. The platform has the option for you to add your comments, prayers and concerns in the live chat window. You may also choose to write your prayers down, speak them aloud during the service, or send your prayer requests to us via email. Arrive at 10:15am to greet each other, then the service will begin right at 10:30am.
___________________
Our worship each Sunday is intended to be a collective experience, a communal practice.
We might step into whatever is our sanctuary, each one of us as individuals, and yet as we assemble, from wherever we are, we become a people, drawn together through song and prayer, through word and ritual, and through the Spirit who breathes through it all, through us all.
One and the same Spirit uniting us breathing us into life!
