Celebrating Pride and Inclusivity at Glebe St James, June 29th at 10:30

June 29, 2025

Please join us this Sunday, in person or on-line, as we celebrate our diverse community.  Service starts at 10:30 or can be viewed later on YouTube.

Rev. Dr. Teresa Burnett-Cole is on her sabbatical leave until September. 


In Rev. Teresa's absence, this Pride Sunday service will be lead by one of our Licenced Lay Worship Leaders, Edith Gardell.  Hilda Sabadash will welcome us, and Rebeccah Dalton will offer the land acknowledgement. Brad Munro will read the scripture: Galatians 5:22-23 and 1 Corinthians 13:11-13.  Our Minister of Music, James Caswell and the choir will lead us in music and song; the anthem will be 'A Rainbow is Dancing' by Mary-Ellen Kish and Gwen Chapman.


Here is the bulletin for the service to follow along with the words of texts, hymns, songs and prayers. You can join the service live at 10:25 am at this YouTube link; after the service ends it will be available to watch as a recording.


During the service, a video from the Rt. Rev. Dr. Carmen Landsdowne, Moderator  of the United Church, will be played; the video is 2:40 in duration.  If you are watching from home, your audio and video experience may be better by watching the video directly from your device (mute the service momentarily if you are watching the Moderator's video directly).
