Special Services
Women’s Advent Service
For many women, the gifts of Advent are so often lost between the shopping, the baking, the decorating and the preparation for Christmas. Over 15 years ago, the members of TGIF began to host a service exclusively for women and girls to meet this need. Each year a new theme is chosen and a worship service is led by the many female volunteers of this congregation.
Lights for Lives
This is a memorial service held in January of each year to remember family and friends who have passed away. Throughout the season of Advent, members are invited to make a contribution to purchase a “light” to light up our sanctuary for Christmas. The contributions are directed to grief support agencies such as Compassionate Friends, Grace Hospital Bereavement Support Program, Hospice & Palliative Care Manitoba and the St. Boniface Hospital Grief Support Program for Children and Teens.
Easter Service
We gather on Good Friday at the foot of the cross. The Senior Choir under the direction of Shauna Sperry provides musical inspiration.
On Easter Sunday, we join together in praise, prayer and song to celebrate the life, death and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Rites of Passage
Throughout the year usually on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Thanksgiving Sunday and the last Sunday of the year, there is an opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. This rite is available for infants and adults.
Enquirer’s Confirmation classes are for anyone who would like to know more about the United Church, those who are considering joining the United Church and those who might like a refresher. We explore various aspects of faith, such as our involvement in ministry outside the doors of this church, our relationships with other faiths, and how the Bible informs our faith. All are welcome.
Christmas Eve
Celebrate with us the birth of Christ at one of our Christmas Eve services. Each service offers a variety of worship options, participants and styles that will give you comfort and joy.
BE SURE TO CHECK OUR CALENDAR FOR CONFIRMATION.
