Join us every Sunday at 11 am in the sanctuary for our worship service. Scroll down for information about upcoming services. Children are welcome, and childcare is also available from 9:30 to 12:30 in the nursery for children under three years old who don't really enjoy adults' worship.
Children and Youth
Children's Religious Education classes and the youth program take place each Sunday during the worship service. Our children attend the service until the reading of a story for all ages. The congregation then sings the children out and they go to their classes. Youth, grades 8 to 12, also attend the service in the sanctuary until after the reading of the story, and then go to the youth room in Hewett Centre.
Click Education in the menu bar above for information about Children and Youth programs.

Living on Provincial Welfare: An Experiment
Sunday, May 6, 11 am

worshipful service.

Mother's Day and Flower Communion
Sunday, May 13, 11 am
Rev. Steven Epperson
The Flower Communion is a central rite of spring for UUs around the world. It coincides nicely with Mother’s Day, celebrating how our individual contributions of parenting and mentoring add up to one, diverse community. Please bring a flower so that we can create a congregational bouquet.
Music by Dark Willow (David Donaldson and Ellen van der Hoeven) and the Chalice Choir.

Refugees: Their Gifts to Us
Sunday, May 20, 11 am
Refugee Committee members
This church has privately sponsored refugees for a long time , starting with the Vietnamese boat refugees. Since then, we have become part of the Vancouver Interfaith Refugee Committee. In the past few years, refugees have come from all over the world, sharing their stories. We have witnessed their amazing resilience, their courage, their humour, their gratitude, their compassion, and their creativity. They have become Canadian.
Let's think of our three Unitarian principles: inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equity, and compassion in human relationships; and the goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all. Come and listen to stories, debunk myths, and know why we cannot stop sponsoring.
Music by Lazar Adele Hounakke (guitar and vocals).
Spiritual Leadership
Sunday, May 27, 11 am
Rev. Steven Epperson
This year’s Canadian Unitarian Council Annual Meeting featured an intensive exploration of the roots and fruits of spiritually-informed leadership in our congregations and our daily life. Join with me in reflections on this timely and timeless aspect of a spiritually rich way of living and relating.
Music by Elliott Dainow and the Chalice Choir.
