Our Mission
“To nurture each other, serve the community and inspire action that heals the world.”
Worship Services, 10:30am
Join us in our beautiful sanctuary this autumn, Sunday mornings at 10:30am. All are welcome. Our theme for November is Healing.
Healing through our belonging
Author Toko-pa Turner wrote “Grief is the response to a broken bond of Belonging,” in her book Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home. This Sunday we will explore the ideas of existential greif and how we might mend ourselves through community belonging.
Speakers, Rev. Danie Webber and Catherine McPherson-Doe

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.
