📌Moderator's Pride 2025 Message Welcomes Everyone with A Place at the
Table
Moderator Carmen Lansdowne shares a powerful message of welcome and
affirmation, emphasizing that there's truly a place at the table for
everyone within The United Church of Canada. As we prepare to celebrate
the diversity and resilience of the 2S and LGBTQIA+ community throughout
June, Moderator Lansdowne honours the humanity, value, and right to love
of 2S and LGBTQIA+ people, while acknowledging the severe global
realities and attacks now being faced. This message connects with our "A
Place at the Table" campaign, reflecting the deep sense of belonging
found within the church. The United Church of Canada stands in
solidarity, committed to justice, radical love, and creating a world
where absolutely everyone is embraced and celebrated.
📌 RED BINS - The schedule is filled to the end of June. July and August
still available. If you are able to help, please let Terrilyn know.
📌 Mission & Service: Still Called. Still Committed. Still Together.
A hundred years ago, people of faith across Canada imagined a church
united not only in belief, but in bold action. They dreamed of a
community that would live out God’s love by reaching out to neighbours,
both nearby and across the world. That vision became The United Church
of Canada.
Since then, through times of joy and challenge, we have journeyed
together, answering Christ’s call to seek justice, love kindness, and
walk humbly. Along the way, something remarkable took shape: a shared
ministry that we now know as Mission and Service.
Mission and Service is not just a program. It is a heartbeat of
compassion. It means meals shared in communities facing food insecurity.
It means emergency relief when disasters strike. It means youth finding
a sense of belonging, churches learning and growing together, global
partnerships rooted in trust, and voices long silenced being lifted and
heard.
None of this is possible without you. Your generosity, your care, and
your belief in a better world make all the difference.
As we approach 100 years of being church together, we give thanks for
the faithful gifts that have sustained and shaped this ministry. And as
we look to the future, we invite you to continue this journey with us.
The road ahead will require courage, creativity, and compassion. But we
are not alone. With your continued support for Mission and Service, we
can keep building a world where love leads, justice thrives, and hope is
made real for all.
Let’s keep writing this story together.
