July 10, 2023
Today we celebrated our church’s birthday and watched the annual Stewardship slideshow. We celebrated 6 years since the coming together of Leaside United Church and Presteign-Woodbine United Church, and all that we’ve done together since then. We also marked the 98th birthday of the United Church of Canada!
Our music included Let Us Build a House, which we sang during our very first Church Birthday service in 2017, and Bless Now O God, Our Journey, which we sang during our Church Birthday service last year. The choir anthem, sung by our Junior and Chancel Choirs, was John Rutter’s For the Beauty of the Earth. If you would like to watch the service and slideshow, click on this LINK.
