Welcome Reverend Mock!
The Board is extremely pleased to announce that at last week's
Congregational Meeting, the vote was unanimous to call Reverend Alison
Mock to be our permanent Minister of Word, Sacrament and Pastoral Care.
Reverend Alison will continue to split her time between Yellowknife and
Mississauga, Ontario, as was done in 2025. Both Alison and the Board
are very excited to enter into this renewed relationship which will
enable more long term planning for worship, community outreach and
continued fellowship with our YKUC family. Reverend Mock will be
joining us remotely for the next three Sundays and will be back in
person in the pulpit on March 22nd!
Tax receipts for 2025 will be available at church starting this Sunday
and for the rest of the month. Any remaining receipts will be mailed out
the week of February 23.
Book Club - We meet March 1 at 12:15 in Room 215 to discuss Jayber Crow
by Wendell Berry. It's the story of the barber of a small community in
Kentucky whose work helps him find the answers to some of the questions
that drove him to drop out of seminary years earlier. There are print
copies at the bookstore (ask for a copy set aside under "Book Club") and
through on-line sites in both hard and e-reader editions. The public
library’s Hoopla site has audio copies. All are welcome to book club.

Thank you to our volunteers for February:
Brian and Natalie Kelln
Dave Jarvis
Mischelle Remigio
Gordon and Karen Hamre
We are looking for volunteers for the following:
April 16-30 Coop
April 16-30 Independent and Fieldhouse
May 1-15 Coop
May 1-15 Independent and Fieldhouse
May 16-31 Coop

This is an important fundraiser for our church and many hands make light
work.
If you have students that require community service hours, this does
count and we are happy to sign the required paperwork.
If you would like to help but maybe don’t have a vehicle, that’s ok! We
have people with vehicles who could use an extra pair of hands.
If you are able to help, please let Terrilyn know.

Mission and Service Story:
Where Play Builds Community
“I’m going to sleep here!” Amarah, age 6, threatens from under the
table. Along with her sisters, she hides from her family at the Tomken
Grove Afterschool Program’s pickup time. This is a common occurrence
because every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., the children feel that two hours
together is not enough.
Through the passion of Westminster United Church in Mississauga, ON, the
Tomken Grove Afterschool Program aims to encourage community among local
children. The program creates a recreational space outside of school
where neighbourhood kids can spend time together in an electronics-free
environment.
Some form of physical activity is always scheduled: dance battles,
obstacle courses, hula-hooping, spending time outdoors, and more. Snacks
such as fresh fruits and yogurt keep the kids healthy and energized, and
everyone is involved in cleanup responsibilities for snack and outdoor
time, which encourages independence and innovation.
Your gifts through Mission and Service help programs like this as they
encourage community and connection. Thank you.
