The United Church of Canada has joyously installed the Right Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath as its 45th Moderator at Knox United Church in Calgary. Elected after three ballots at the 45th Last night, The United Church of Canada joyously installed the Right Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath as its 45th Moderator at Knox United Church in Calgary. Elected after three ballots at the 45th General Council (August 7–11), Rev. Heath is a long-time minister who has served Wall Street United Church in Brockville, Ontario since 2007.
The installation ceremony, which was livestreamed, included prayers in English, French, and Stoney Nakoda. Rev. Heath received several symbolic gifts and delivered a heartfelt reflection, encouraging the church to embrace its diversity and "bring out all of the flavours, all of the goodness." As the spiritual leader of the United Church, she will now serve a three-year term.
Congratulations to the Right Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath, the 45th Moderator of The United Church of Canada!
Lakeview United Church chose to celebrate the 100th Anniversary in part by "reaching out". We set out to purchase and fill 100 backpacks to support the vulnerable population to be distributed by Central United Church.
We have approximately 28 remaining backpacks and they will be filled in the fall with winter essentials. Please note that Lakeview UC will be supplying the water bottles for each back pack. Special thanks to everyone who has generously filled spring backpacks for distribution.
The "Blue Clothing Bin" in the Lakeview UC parking has been successful so far! We have had several loads picked up already. Please consider dropping in your good used clothing, shoes/boots, outerwear, linens and towels. All donations will be weighed and we will be paid per pound for the donations. This is a "green initiative" as all donations will be repurposed and nothing will go into landfill. PLACE ALL ITEMS IN A BAG AND PUSH THE DOOR UP TO DEPOSIT. Thank you for supporting this ongoing Lakeview UC fundraiser! New Total revenue to date is $722.00!!
Great news from Lakeview UC Sunday School..... Music and Stories for 3 to 6 year olds is on summer break but will return in the fall!
