We continue to collect used stamps, eye glasses and pop tabs to help those in need. The drop off baskets for these items are now located in the large closet in the welcome area outside the Sanctuary.
Our first Easter Bake Sale is just a couple of weeks away!
We have a big variety of goodies from home baking, maple syrup, Honduran coffee, easter eggs etc.
Baking donations are welcome and can be dropped off at Leaside United Church on Saturday April 16th between 11:30am and 12:30pm arrange with Brenda French.
We raised over $1500 at Christmas in support of El Hogar, and look forward to another successful Tailgate Bake Sale!
Thank you in advance for your support.
Sunday at 10:30am, April 10 is Palm Sunday, and our service will have the theme “The Voices of Hope.” We will take time to be the crowd as Jesus enters Jerusalem.
On Maundy Thursday, April 14 we will share a short Communion service over Zoom at 7:30pm, as we remember Jesus’ final meal with the disciples.
On Good Friday at 10:30am, April 15 our service “A Voice of Grief” will move through the story with music, scripture, and reflection. We will be hearing two beautiful new anthems for the first time, along with “Were You There?” arranged by Bob Chilcott.
Then on Easter Sunday at 10:30am, April 17 our service “The Voice of Love” will include Easter music recorded by the joint Leaside and Northlea choirs, along with an anthem by the Junior Choir, and a trumpeter live Sunday morning. For those who are young or young at heart, we will have special Easter stickers and colouring bulletins for the service, along with all of the usual books, colouring materials, and other items in our children’s area in the sanctuary.
At 10:30am join us in-person, on Zoom, or on YouTube for our weekly Sunday morning worship.
This Sunday we continue our monthly Healing Series, with the theme Forgiveness. We will hear scripture about the importance of forgiveness, and take time to share a Prayer of Confession and Words of Assurance. As we think about forgiveness, we’ll also take several moments – including the Call to Worship and the Words of Assurance to engage our bodies and our breath.
Our music will include the hymn If I Have Been the Source of Pain, as well as the well-loved Spirit, Open My Heart. We also look forward to our solo Great Is Thy Faithfulness and anthem Lead Us Home. We will also hear the recently written Litany for Ukraine sung as a prayer response after lighting candles.
Looking Ahead
On Sunday, April 3 we welcome Cheryl Stenson as our worship leader, while Emily is away on study leave. Cheryl has been a member of Glebe Road United Church since getting married there in 1996. She began at Glebe serving coffee and tea in fellowship hour, became secretary of the board, then Clerk of Session, and then Chair of the Board for many years. Her greatest joy at Glebe has been singing in the choir and the yearly musical events. Cheryl took the Licensed Lay Worship Leader (LLWL) course with the United Church of Canada, receiving her license in December 2021. Cheryl’s service theme is “Saying YES to God.”
