NORVAL ONLINE

Christmas Edition

Fast away the old year passes... 

Christmas Day is almost here. Can you believe it? From all of us at Norval United Church we wish Christmas Blessings to you and your family. If this was a tough year for you we pray that you feel God especially close to you at Christmas. If this was a good year for you, we pray that you will find ways to share your blessings with others. Wherever you gather, with whomever you gather, may you feel yourself surrounded by God's love.

“I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas. We are never alone. Not when the night is darkest, the wind coldest, the world seemingly most indifferent. For this is still the time God chooses.”

- Taylor Caldwell

Celebrate Christmas @NUC



Come celebrate Christmas family style! Interactive and child friendly, be ready to be part of the story of Christmas. You are invited to bring a donation of non perishable food, gift card or money to be shared with the wider community.

Our traditional 7:30PM and 9PM Candlelight services. So quiet. So calm. So peaceful. So holy. You will feel the Christmas Story!

The livestream for our Christmas Eve service will be available on Facebook and YouTube.

God dwells in us.

Come for a calm and relaxing Christmas morning service. We'll have coffee, tea, and cookies as we share in the service around the fireplace together.

The livestream for our Christmas Day service will be available on Facebook and YouTube



The Loving Memory Tree is a long-standing tradition at Norval United. People are invited to write on a white ribbon the name of a loved one no longer physically here at Christmas. Their memory adorns our tree and is part of all our worship services in the season. If you have a name you would like added to the tree please connect with Paul and we'll place that loved one's name on our Loving Memory Tree.



Thank you generous Norval Community for the ways you have donated your time, money and gifts this Christmas season. Your donations have provided 8 kids and 2 seniors through Links2Care with gifts for Christmas. We were also able to give 90 containers of soup to Food 4 Life and the Georgetown Breadbasket. Last, but not least, our Giving Tree was fill to the brim with hats, gloves and scarves, toiletries and food items for Halton Women's Place and the Breadbasket.

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; speak up on their behalf and give thanks for them.
