Bridging ceremony for our graduating youth
, ,

Join us June 11th for UCV’s annual bridging ceremony. As the end of the school and congregational year approaches, we celebrate our children who are bridging into youth group and our teens who are bridging into young adulthood. This is a special time for our youth, but also for our community as we mark the changes in our congregation. All welcome to our Sunday service beginning at 11a.m. at 49th and Oak and at ucv.im/live. Service is followed by a Coffee and Social Hour from Noon to 1 pm. Download the Order of Service

100 Years of Flowers

As we celebrate our annual Flower Communion, we look back on the century-old story of its roots in Czechoslovakia, its complex and sometimes tortuous path, and the importance of this enduring ritual in our lives.  Please bring a flower for each person present to share in our communal bouquet.  Children will be present through this intergenerational service.

What is Sacred?

What is it that you hold most dear? How do we recognize, nurture and honour that which makes our hearts and spirits come alive? “Sacredness is a quality we attribute to a dimension of our lives we perceive as worthy of the highest respect and reference.  The sacred draws us out of ourselves.  It is a vehicle through which we may experience ourselves in deeper relation with the divine.  To hold something sacred is to name it as holy.” – Paul Rasor.  Download the Order of Service (Photo: Casey Horner / Unsplash)
