Word and Wonder Worship Service
This Sunday is the second Sunday of the month, which means it's a Word &
Wonder Worship Service. W&W Services are intentionally inclusive to all
ages. They don't have a formal "sermon" but rather shorter stories and
interactive moments that engage our stories through our senses. This
Sunday, we'll tell the story of Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at the
Well. Please join us -- wiggles and fidgets are welcome!
🎶 Calling Volunteer Musicians! 🎶
Yellowknife United Church Needs You!
Do you play an instrument and want to help lead music for worship? YKUC
is looking for musicians to help lead music during Sunday service.
We’re seeking individuals who can work with the hymns chosen by the
Minister and help lead the congregation in joyful worship. Whether you
play piano, guitar, violin, flute—or something else—you are warmly
invited to share your gifts. All are welcome!
When: Sunday mornings during worship
Where: Yellowknife United Church
What’s Involved: Collaborating with the Minister, playing hymns, and
supporting congregational singing and worship music.
Help us enrich our worship through music. If you’re interested or want
to learn more, please contact with Peter Workman or Rev. Alison. 🎵
Book Club – Our next meeting is Sunday, March 29’th when we will discuss
Butter, Honey, Pig, Bread by Francesca Ekwuyasi. An intergenerational
saga about three Nigerian women, this novel is a story of choices and
their consequences, of motherhood, of the malleable line between the
spirit and the mind, of finding new homes and mending old ones, of
voracious appetites, of queer love, of friendship, faith, and above all,
family. There is a book club set at the public library, and it is
available as an e-book and in audio on Libby and Hoopla. We will meet at
12:15 in Room 215, all are welcome.

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. terrily...@theedge.ca
Mission and Service Story:
A Steady Flow of Care:
For most of us, a shower is routine.
For someone without stable housing, it can be transformative.
In St. Catharines, Ontario, Silver Spire United Church offers more than
access to water. Their shower program offers dignity, relief, and a
fresh start to the day—sometimes all in the same hour.
While guests take a private shower, their laundry is washed and dried in
the next room. Clean clothes are ready when they step out. Toiletries
like soap, shampoo, deodorant are generously donated by the community
and is available to all guests. Devices can be charged in the room, and
guests are welcome to keep their belongings in the room with them to
keep them secure.
It may sound simple, but being able to wash your body and your clothing
at the same time changes a day. In the extreme heat of summertime, a
cool shower can prevent illness and save lives. In the winter, warm
water restores circulation and comfort. Beyond physical relief,
something deeper happens: people are reminded they matter.
But programs like this require steady support. Costs for utilities,
supplies, coordination, volunteers, and care can mount quickly.
Through Mission and Service, we’re helping Silver Spire United Church
keep the water running and the program staffed. We’re helping ensure
that dignity is not an afterthought, but a priority.
A shower should not be a luxury, and clean clothes should not be out of
reach.
