Gardening Volunteers Welcome!
Welcome garden enthusiasts! During the summer months, a small group gathers at LUC for light gardening to help the church grounds remain as neat and attractive as possible. We will be meeting for 2 hours, beginning at 9:30 am, on the last Tuesday morning of each month (rain date Thursday morning of same week). Our next meeting date is set for
June 26th. No prior experience required! Any questions, please contact Marnie Walker . Thank you!

Showing our colours at Leaside United Church
Everyday it’s important to show your true colours, but this week and month is especially important because it is Pride Month in Toronto and the Pride Parade will happen this coming Sunday, June 24th.
At Leaside United Church we became an Affirming Congregation just over two years ago and continue to learn about LGBTQ communities, language and relationships. We are allies and always offer a safe haven to anybody in the LGBTQ community and their support people. We are known for our inclusiveness and it shows in the pride colours we display.
Here are some of our favorites at Leaside United Church (including resources from our Family Library in the North Transept, and some questions from our big “Book of Questions”).
How are you celebrating Pride? A phone call to a queer friend, displaying a rainbow banner, having a party, getting married to your same sex partner? Whatever you do, we are thankful to be in a community where we can celebrate #Pride!
