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:
Partnership in Bloom:
Spring doesn’t arrive quietly. It pushes. It breaks through frozen
ground, insisting on life.
That same insistence is at work through Mission and Service partners
around the world. And when we give to Mission and Service, we’re not
simply supporting good intentions. We’re strengthening this steady,
rooted, courageous work that is already underway.
Our generosity supports partners as they show up, day in and day out,
wherever there is need.
When wildfires displace families: they’re there to open their doors in
welcome.
When food prices rise beyond reach: they’re organizing food distribution
before cupboards are bare.
When storms wash away infrastructure: they’re planting crops in soil
made fragile by climate change.
When isolation presses in on communities: they’re creating safe spaces
for learning, healing, and belonging.
Every gift we give through Mission and Service is fuel for this
response. Our collective generosity becomes groceries on a table, a
workshop that shifts harmful beliefs, seeds planted in changing
climates, and training for leaders.
This work is not theoretical. It’s daily, practical, and faithful. And
it grows because, together, we continue to help it grow.
Spring is coming. Let’s make sure hope grows everywhere it’s needed.
Give to support Mission and Service today; help love take root.
