It was a beautiful sunny spring day at Hillhurst United this week. Jess Andrews from Campus United shared an update on the ministry’s work, including their new Dungeons & Dragons events that are helping build community and connection among students and young adults.

A special thank you to Reverend Tony Snow, Indigenous Minister for the Chinook Winds Region of The United Church of Canada, for sharing an inspiring sermon. The choir filled the sanctuary with wonderful music, and it was a delight to welcome former staff member Sarah Elliott, who shared her exceptional musical talents with a beautiful solo performance.

All in all, it was a wonderful Sunday. Whether it's Sunday worship or one of the many programs offered throughout the week, Hillhurst United looks forward to welcoming you and helping you find connection, community, and belonging.

Calling all Stampede dreamers and doers.

Help is needed to plan this year’s Stampede Service & Lunch on July 5.

Support is needed for brainstorming ideas shaping the theme and helping coordinate the details that bring the event together. Anyone who enjoys creative planning and community building is encouraged to take part in the planning process.

If you’re more of a hands-on doer that’s great too there will be plenty to do on the day itself.

Interested in getting involved? Reach out to Amanda at [email protected].
