Nathan is taking a well-earned day off on August 18th, so our Sunday morning worship service will not be streamed that day. Be sure to tune in again in the following weeks for our regular services and updates. We look forward to having you join us then!

This Sunday, we gather to celebrate a significant milestone: the 100th anniversary of The United Church of Canada. Formed in 1925, The United Church has a rich history rooted in unity, inclusivity, and justice. As we reflect on our roots, we’ll explore how these foundational values continue to shape our community today.

Our worship will feature hymns by United Church hymnists, along with a reading from Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-16—a passage cherished for its message of living in faith and unity. It’s a reminder of our shared mission to grow together in love, guided by the Spirit.

After the service, we invite you to join us downstairs for coffee and to explore the first in a series of displays highlighting our denomination's history. Together, we’ll honor the past and look forward to the future of The United Church of Canada.

Presider: Charlotte Caron
Music: Jennifer Turner
Scripture Reader: Cheryl MacPherson
Scripture: Ephesians 4:1 – 7, 11- 16

We invite you to join us this Sunday, August 18th, for a special Palestinian dinner prepared by Amal Alhaddad and her friends. This dinner is more than just a meal—it's an opportunity to support Amal's family, who have been deeply affected by the ongoing crisis in Gaza. The event will take place at Broad View United, with doors opening at 4:30 pm and dinner served buffet-style at 5:00 pm. Your generous donation of $20-$50 (sliding scale) will help provide much-needed financial support. If you can't attend in person, you can pre-order a pick-up dinner. Let’s come together to make a difference! For more details, please e-transfer your donation to maisalem7257@gmail.com and indicate "DINNER" along with the number of guests.

Healing Pathway practitioners will offer “Soaking Prayer” following the service on the last Sunday of each month. This month, join us on August 25. If you're feeling burdened by stress, concerns, pain, or grief, we invite you to receive this gentle care. Practitioners will place their hands lightly on your shoulders as you sit in a chair at the back of the sanctuary or in the balcony. Take a few minutes to experience the healing energy of Soaking Prayer.

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of our Healing Pathway Ministry's public sessions starting this September. Beginning on September 11th, 2024, we will offer Healing Pathway sessions in the Sanctuary on the second Wednesday of each month at 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM. These sessions provide a nurturing space for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing, guided by our compassionate practitioners.

If you're interested in making an appointment at either 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM, please send an email request to Sandy at healingpathway2023@gmail.com to learn more.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Kamloops United Church was impacted by a fire on August 13, 2024. Thankfully, no one was injured, but the church building, including the sanctuary, has suffered significant damage.

We ask for your prayers during this challenging time. If you would like to support the recovery efforts, donations can be made to the Fire Recovery Fund 2024 through their giving page. Your love and support are deeply appreciated.

Please note that there is no access to the church parking lot on Friday and Saturday until 1:30 PM while the Thrift Shop is open. We appreciate your understanding.
