Visitor and Congregant Engagement - Meet 'n' Greet
Resuming Oct 6, 2024, the Visitor and Congregant Engagement team invites you to stay after the service on the first Sunday each month for Meet ‘n’ Greet. This is an opportunity for newcomers and seasoned attendees to be together for an hour to get to know each other and ask questions about our church. Refreshments will be available.
Land Acknowledgement
The City of Hamilton is situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
As settlers we continue to benefit from the land and its gifts. As settlers, we must ask ourselves how or if we have shared and cared for the earth and its gifts. Facing the truth is hard. Truth must come before reconciliation.
Our beliefs are diverse and inclusive. We have no shared creed. Our shared covenant (our Eight Principles) supports “the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.”
We seek an outcome of respectful, responsible, life-loving kids who are both curious and questioning and know they are valued for all of who they are and are ready to show others the same deep acceptance.
