Call to Worship:

How long has it been?

Eighty-five years!

Eighty-five good years?

Eighty-five years in which God has called us to be the United Church.

So today we celebrate -

what it means to be God's people.

What it means to be Christ's disciples.

What it means to be the United Church of Canada.

So today we celebrate!

And we worship God! (adapted from Gathering Summer/Autumn 2010 by Richard Bott p.52)

Prayer of Approach:

We remember the life of Christ, O God. It is our story.

We remember the ministry of the apostles. It is our story.

We remember the Reformation, the birth of Methodism and

Presbyterianism, and the founding of our country, Canada. Creator of all, this is our story.

We remember Union in 1925, the excitement and celebration. It is our story.

Summer Ushering/Greeting - Traditionally, 2 volunteers offer to greet and usher at our summer worship services. If you know you will be attending on a certain Sunday during the summer, we would be very grateful if you would offer to greet and usher on that day. It is suggested that you arrive about 20 minutes before the service begins, welcome folk as they arrive, distribute bulletins and collect the offering at the appropriate time during the service. It's a wonderful way to extend the hand of friendship and a warm welcome to visitors and our church family. If you feel you can help, please sign up on the volunteer poster in the foyer. Thank you.
