FROM THE MINISTER’S DESK
MY BAD! I think that I said last week that we only have one week left in Revelation, but as I strolled through the woods with my beloved on the holiday Monday, little did he know that I was busy in my head, calculating the Sundays left until Pentecost. And sure enough, after this Sunday there is still one more.
That’s okay…chapters 21 and 22 are full of such glorious, joyful images, it’s worth our while spending a bit more time with them!
SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP 10:00 A.M.
Central United Church welcomes you to join our Worship Service Sunday mornings at 10:00 am. In worship we proclaim our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour; God’s word is read and preached, sacraments celebrated, faith sung and prayers offered.
Sunday services are also livestreamed (and recorded) through the Church website or you can join here. A copy of the bulletin for this Sunday’s Service is attached here.
This Sunday’s Scripture readings are Revelation 21:10, 22-22:5 and Psalm 67. You can also find a daily scripture message at the top of our website.

SUMMER CAMP 2025: Steadfast Love
August 11 – 15, 2025
Central will be hosting another year of Summer Day Camp in August! This is an incredible way to serve young families with children currently in SK through Grade 5. It also allows preteens and teens from Grade 6 and up to grow their faith, develop new skills, and gain valuable experience as volunteers (leaders-in-training) as they go through a one-week training prior to the camp from August 5-8. Please help spread the word in the community!
For more information and to register as participants, volunteers, or coaches, please register here.
