The United Church of Canada is 100 years old this year! On June 10, 1925, the leaders of Canada’s Presbyterian, Methodist, Congregational, and Local Union Church denominations marched into Toronto’s Mural Street Arena to inaugurate the new denomination that would be the union of their respective traditions.
Precisely 100 years later, the communities of faith of the West Fraser cluster—that is, the United Church congregations in North Delta, Surrey, and Langley—are gathering at the United Churches of Langley (in their Murrayville building) to share in fellowship and to watch together one of the two national Centennial worship services being prepared for Church Union weekend.
We’re also extending the invitation to our sibling congregations further eastward in the Fraser Valley, a bit of a “reunion” of sorts for the former Fraser Presbytery. We’ll begin gathering at 5:30 PM; the national worship service viewing starts at 6:00 PM; a dessert potluck will follow.
Mark your calendars for this fun time of friendship, fellowship, and worship together with our United Church family in this area!
