February 2nd: POTLUCK LUNCH after worship

Everyone is welcome!

Catch up with old friends or make some new friends.

Feel free to bring along a dish to share if you like. You can also pitch in to set up or clean up afterward.

We look forward to sharing a meal together.

Our Shared Future

For over a year now, we have been discussing our shared future with other United Churches in Halifax. On Thursday evening this week our Board of Trustees met with the Boards of Trustees from St. Matthew's United Church and Fort Massey United Church.

The Trustees had a wonderful time getting to know each other and learning about the different churches. In fact, they enjoyed themselves so much, they decided to gather again next month.

A huge thank you to Robbie Shaw for hosting and to everyone who attended.

The Social Justice Committee will be selling Fair Trade Palestinian Olive Oil ($30.00), Za'atar herb mix ($5.50), Dates ($30.00), and Just Us Coffee ($13.50).
