Every year, Canadian Memorial selects six of the films nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, exploring theological connections between scripture and the film. Reel Theology 2026 opens with Cathy Merchant leading our service, the film Bugonia, and Genesis 2:8-17 as our scripture reading. You don't have to watch the films to enjoy the sermons (and we watch the films' trailers before the sermon).

For our final Centre for Peace talks of the first "season," we had an incredible talk from "the Conscience of Canadian Parliament" and leader of the Green Party, the incredible Mrs. Elizabeth May, OC MP!

Using Matthew 20: 1-16 - The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard -  and how "the last will be first, and the first will be last," Jeff Rock's sermon, "It's not fair," from March 15, 2026, explores the fourth stage of grief: bargaining.

Cathy explores what the Lord requires from you, along with themes of religious self-righteousness, and pursuing justice instead of focusing on religious purity and how, when pursuing justice, "you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I."

Join us as Jeff explores how the arts help us express ourselves, allowing our vulnerabilities through, despite our fears and struggles, finding community that supports one another through the good and bad, much like "[The Lord] drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure."

In his sermon referencing Harold Kushner's When Bad Things Happen to Good People, Rev. Rock's sermon will be a reflective reminder that grief is a journey andneeds preparation... it's important to stop, take a moment, be ok with not being ok, before you move on through the stages of grief. Pack your backs for the journey through the Lenten season and Canadian Memorial's sermon series Good Grief!

Using Isaiah 58:3-9a as the scripture for the worship service, Cathy explores what the lord requires from you, themes of religious self-righteousness and pursuing justice instead of focusing on religious purity and how, when pursuing justice, "you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I."

This video is from the second week of Advent Sunday service on Sunday, December 7, 2025.

Each week of Advent, along with lighting the Advent candles, we've been adding new things to our once bare "Jesse Tree," creating something uniquely beautiful - entirely reflective of the CMUC community. 🙏🫶

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The theme for the Second Week of Advent is Peace. At Canadian Memorial United Church, we started our service by "socking it" to our Ministerial Team, which...doesn't sound like promoting peace at all!🤣🤣 Except when the "socking" is from soft socks with good intentions behind them.

We all know the sense of peace and comfort a fresh pair of socks can bring, especially on cold and wet days. More importantly, socks are among the requested items at shelters, so in continuing our work with StreetMeals, we invite the congregation to bring a pair of socks or two to throw at their Minister of choice! 

The CMUC community's heart and generosity were on full display as your outpouring of socks exceeded our expectations. 

Thank you to everyone!!!!!🙏🫶

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Enjoy this first-person view of CMUC's Blessing of the Animals!!!!

CMUC's September 28 Sunday service had two separate themes: National Day for Truth &amp; Reconciliation and Blessing of the Animals, in honour of St. Francis of Assisi, who communed with the animals over a century ago. Welcoming animals past and present, physically or virtually, into the sanctuary to honour St. Francis has become an annual event that brings joy, a few barks, and more than a few tears as we extend blessings to all of God's creations. Enjoy a few moments from an intimate perspective.

Cathy's sermon, titled "From Dominion to Devotion," explores the idea of humanity holding dominion over the earth and its inhabitants and how this belief can cause us to exploit and mistreat the natural world, while comparing the story in Genesis to the creation story in the Qur'an &amp; The Sky Woman Story.

We invite you to light a candle, join the meditations of hearts, and sing along with us wherever you are and however you are able to. Experience uplifting music, inclusive liturgy, and a vibrant community committed to peace, justice, and spiritual growth. Whether you're joining us in person or online, you are welcome here with us in this moment of remembrance, gratitude, and hope.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this special Pride sermon, Canadian Memorial United Church embraces how we're all special, joyous, and a little messy (we're fallible humans after all), and baby, we were Born This Way!

After CMUC's sound engineer, Grant Logan's, playful and lovely human reading of Colossians 3:1-11 (The Message Translation), Jeff Rock tackles a passage often weaponized by some against 2SLGBTQ+ people, shining a FABULOUS rainbow light on a passage once interpreted as something darker and declarative about 2SLGBTQ+ people. 

While this may be controversial to some, we here at CMUC approach everything following our core principles of love, peace, empathy, community, and leading with open hearts. 

The video closes with a reminder from our amazing Music Director, Sabrielle McCurdy (and song by someone named Lady Gaga), that we are Born This Way (and Pop Music has a place in a Spiritual Community Worship Service)!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Canadian Memorial United Church was joined by guest preacher Jessie Kaur Lehail from Shelter Movers Vancouver on Sunday, July 13, 2025.

After Toni Peroni delivered the scripture reading, Cathy Merchant introduces Jessie to the CMUC congregation. Jessie spoke about the reading from her Sikh faith and how her faith empowers, inspires, and guides her work helping people escape from intimate partner abuse. She also reveals the shocking need for more resources and volunteers to help those in urgent need. 

Shelter Movers only have the capacity for around 30 moves a month currently, but receive requests for up to 80 per month across the Lower Mainland. Jessie and the team at Shelter Movers need more volunteers in the form of more drivers, packers, and movers, more financial support, and whatever other support people can provide. 

Additionally, if anyone has contacts with politicians, police officers (who often accompany Shelter Movers to ensure safety during moves), or the media, Jessie &amp; Co. would really appreciate the connection and spreading the word for their very urgent need for more resources and support. Any help or information is greatly appreciated!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Jeff Rock delivers a sermon about how the intentionality of words has been a central tenet of inclusionary efforts throughout the history of the "Untied" Church of Canada. Using the weekly scripture reading - Revelation 7:9-10,15-17, the United Church of Canada's "A Song of Faith"  and a modern-day love of memes,  Jeff weaves these topics together, speaking of the joyous, laborious, and often slow-moving nature of attempts of inclusion and progress.   

Enjoy this history-filled sermon and join us as we continue to move toward greater inclusion in the second century of the United Church of Canada with intentionality.

In this thought-provoking message, Cathy preaches on the Book of Revelation and the film Dune: Part Two, reflecting on humanity's persistent longing for a savior outside of ourselves. Her sermon, titled "If You Meet the Buddha, Kill Him," draws from a well-known Zen koan to challenge the notion of idealizing others and calls us instead to co-create a "new earth" in unity and shared purpose. Don't miss this powerful finale to the series.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us at Canadian Memorial United Church for a powerful continuation of our Reel Theology sermon series. This Sunday, Rev. Jeff Rock preaches on the film Anora, drawing from Galatians 3:1-4 and 26-28 to explore what true freedom means--beyond the cultural ideals of independence and into the liberating call of spiritual community. Titled "Freedom," this sermon invites us to reflect on belonging, transformation, and the deeper freedoms found in love and faith.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us at Canadian Memorial United Church for a thought-provoking sermon by Rev. Jeff Rock titled "What a $%&amp;$." This week, Jeff dives into the ancient clash between Peter and Paul--two of Christianity's founding figures. What happens when the church's biggest leaders don't agree? Why did Paul push for radical inclusion of Gentiles while Peter clung to tradition? What does their conflict over kosher laws and conversion tell us about the future of the Church today?

💬 Reflect on the tension between tradition and transformation in faith.
📖 Based on New Testament passages about the Conclave and early Church debates.
🎥 Recorded live at the heritage building at 15th &amp; Burrard in Vancouver.

Our kids and youth led The Dual Parades of Palm Sunday, reenacting the historical contrast between Jesus' humble entry and the imperial Roman parade. With ferns waving on one side and Roman costumes on the other, they sang "Prepare Ye the Way of the LORD" as Rev. Jeff Rock narrated this powerful Holy Week tradition.

Experience this meaningful intergenerational retelling and prepare your heart for Easter.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us at Canadian Memorial United Church for the Third Sunday of Lent as we continue our Bible Study 101 sermon series. This week, Jeff Rock preaches on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), exploring how the way of faith is often the harder path--it's easier to be selfish, but true growth happens in community. Reflecting on the saying, "Want to go fast, go alone. Want to go far, go together," this sermon, titled "Catching," challenges us to walk the road of faith with intention and compassion.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us at Canadian Memorial United Church for the Third Sunday of Lent as we continue our Bible Study 101 sermon series. This week, Jeff Rock preaches on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), exploring how the way of faith is often the harder path--it's easier to be selfish, but true growth happens in community. Reflecting on the saying, "Want to go fast, go alone. Want to go far, go together," this sermon, titled "Catching," challenges us to walk the road of faith with intention and compassion.

This week, Rev. Jeff Rock reflects on the themes of call and catching people when they fall in his sermon, "Catching." Through scripture and reflection, we'll explore how faith calls us to support one another with grace and compassion. Whether you're deep in your spiritual journey or just beginning to ask questions, this series invites you to engage with the Bible in new and meaningful ways. We welcome you to worship, reflect, and grow in faith with us. All are welcome!

We will be taking communion this week, so you may want to prepare elements in advance.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this sermon, God Sees What We Don't, Rev. Jeff Rock reflects on the complex story of King David. Despite his human flaws--his involvement in the murder of Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, and his philanderer behavior--David was still able to unite the people of Israel. Jeff delves into how God's perspective on us differs from our own and invites us to reflect on the complexities of faith, forgiveness, and leadership. Join us for this thought-provoking message from Canadian Memorial United Church.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join Rev. Jeff Rock on the first Sunday of Lent, March 9, 2025, at Canadian Memorial United Church as we continue our sermon series, Bible Study 101. This week's thought-provoking sermon, Does Evil Exist?, explores the temptation of Jesus in the desert and deep questions about the nature of evil. Is the devil a real being, or is evil simply separation from God? Is hell an actual place, or is it Sheol--the absence of God's presence? And how do we navigate forgiveness in the face of evil?

Don't miss this powerful reflection on faith, temptation, and the complexities of morality.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this special Children and Youth's Time during Sunday service at Canadian Memorial United Church, Tama Ward leads a reflection on Indigenous spirituality and shares the story of Stacy Gallagher, who is currently in jail for defending Tsleil-Waututh territory against development. Stacy, a former leader of the Story Guild program at the church, inspired the youth to write him a heartfelt letter, accompanied by drawings and memories of his time at the church. This meaningful moment showcases the deep connection between faith, land, and activism, and highlights the power of community in standing for justice.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us for Sunday service on February 16, 2025, with Rev. Jeff Rock at Canadian Memorial United Church as we continue our sermon series, Bible Study 101. This week's sermon, "God Sees What We Don't," explores the complexities of King David--a deeply flawed yet pivotal leader who united his people despite his moral failings.
Rev. Jeff Rock may also reflect on Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, a song inspired by David's story, which initially failed but became one of the most recorded songs in history.

Don't miss this thought-provoking service about grace, redemption, and the unseen ways in which God works.

Drawing from Proverbs 1 and the concept of Lady Wisdom, Jeff will explore how God longs for a deep relationship with us and how we, as relational beings, are called to love one another, our neighbors, and God. This service is an opportunity to reflect on the wisdom found in scripture and how it shapes our daily lives. All are welcome to join in person or online for this meaningful gathering of faith and community.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join Cathy Merchant for this powerful sermon titled "Our Hearts Are Heavy" during Sunday service at Canadian Memorial United Church. In this message, Cathy explores the story of Moses, the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, and the 10 plagues of Egypt. The core message is a reminder that God is always on the side of the oppressed, and we can draw inspiration from this ancient story to face modern-day struggles. Despite the "plagues" we still face, we are called to stand for justice and show resilience.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us for our Sunday service at Canadian Memorial United Church on February 2, 2025 with Jeff Rock as she continues our sermon series, Bible Study 101. In this week's sermon, titled Micro/Macro, Jeff delves into the lessons from the Book of Leviticus and explores how biblical laws serve as reminders that our actions impact others. Drawing from the Jewish purity tradition, Jeff explains how taking care of ourselves strengthens our community as a whole. We are a microcosm of the larger society, and our success is rooted not in individual greatness but in the support and tools provided by our community. In this message, we reflect on the true measure of success--not wealth or GDP, but how those who are struggling are cared for.

Tune in for a message of justice, resilience, and hope. Follow along with the order of service below, as everything else you need will be displayed on the screen.

Jeff Rock for a meaningful and inspiring worship service as we reflect on the story of the Magi and the revelation of Christ to the world. Starting on Sunday, January 5th, we are beginning a new sermon series called "Bible 101," where we will highlight some of the most important stories in scripture from beginning to end over the course of five months. Whether you're seeking spiritual renewal, meaningful connection, or simply a place to gather in community, this service welcomes all. We can't wait to see you there! Follow along with the order of service below, as everything else you need will be displayed on the screen. Let's celebrate the start of Advent together in hope and community.

This week the Advent theme is love. The scripture reading will be Luke 1:46-55, which is Mary's Magnificat. In the text, she mentions humanity's fear of God and God's mercy on us. Jeff is going to be preaching about love and its relationship to fear and mercy. The core message will be that God always loves us, even if sometimes that means showing "tough love" to those in power by breaking down hierarchies. This special service invites you to light a candle of love as we journey together into the spirit of the season. Prepare your candle and follow along with the order of service below, as everything else you need will be displayed on the screen. Let's celebrate the start of Advent together in hope and community.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Why do we come to church? Join Rev. Jeff Rock as he explores what truly draws us to gather each week. In this thought-provoking reflection, Jeff explains that church isn't about earning an eternal reward or wishing our struggles away. Rather, it's about the tie that binds us together, the supportive community that lifts us, and the strength we gain on our shared journey of faith. Whether you're seeking connection or deepening your spiritual path, discover the heart of why we come to church.

Jeff Rock shares the rich history of the church, built in 1928 to honor those who served in World War I, and explains its unique connection to the Books of Remembrance, which list the names of Canadians who served and died in WWI, WWII, and the Korean War. He also highlights the significance of the stained glass windows, particularly the nurse and soldier windows, which are especially meaningful as we approach Remembrance Day. Discover why this church holds such a special place in Canadian history.

Reflecting on the powerful words, "Your faith has made you well," Jeff delves into the journey of healing religious-based trauma and the faith it takes to live with unanswered questions. How can we heal not only physical wounds but emotional and spiritual ones as well? Tune in for a thought-provoking service that reminds us all that healing is a journey, not a destination. Don't miss this opportunity to connect, reflect, and find inspiration.

When COVID-19 hit, many said, "We're all in the same boat," but Jeff reminds us that while we may not be in the same boat, we're certainly in the same storm. From global conflicts like the war in Ukraine and the crisis in Palestine to the lasting impacts of residential schools, we're all connected. Watch this video to reflect on how the Church can be a rope that binds us together, offering strength and hope in these challenging times.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this heartfelt and humorous video, Cathy Merchant shares her personal experience confronting the stereotypes often associated with Muslims. Cathy, who is married to a Muslim man, recalls her aunt's comment about not being allowed to drive if she married him--yet, after their marriage, Cathy does most of the driving! She also shares a conversation with a friend who assumed her husband didn't help with chores because he's Muslim. Cathy challenges these misconceptions, highlighting the irony and humour in how stereotypes persist.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this insightful video, Cathy Merchant discusses the concept of the "single story" and how it leads to stereotypes. She explains that the issue with stereotypes isn't that they are necessarily untrue, but that they are incomplete and reduce complex individuals and cultures to a single narrative. Cathy shares her personal experiences working in the Middle East with both Israelis and Palestinians, highlighting the stereotypes associated with each group and how these oversimplified views fail to capture the full spectrum of their stories.

In her sermon, "Psalm 15 and the Noble Eightfold Path," Cathy explores the deep connections between Christian and Buddhist teachings. She compares the righteous life described in Psalm 15, part of this week's lectionary, with the Buddhist Noble Eightfold Path, which leads to enlightenment. Themes include the overlap in Buddhist and Christian teachings, righteousness, living into God's commandments, and cultivating a closer relationship with the Divine. Don't miss this unique and enriching exploration of spiritual wisdom from two ancient traditions.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this powerful sermon, Rev. Jeff Rock explores the parable of the Good Samaritan, challenging us to rethink the question, "Who is my neighbour?" Sometimes, even church communities can fall short of embodying the inclusivity they preach. Jeff Rock shifts the focus from Pride to a broader conversation about genuine inclusion, urging us to live out the true meaning of love and acceptance in our everyday lives. Don't miss this thought-provoking message that calls us to a deeper understanding of what it means to be a good neighbor in today's world.

She'll also discuss reasons why individuals may choose not to act and how embracing the Gospel can enhance our spiritual and emotional resilience.

In this sermon, Jeff explores the Parable of the Talents, one of the most challenging passages in the Bible. He delves into the roles of the characters in the story--Are we the good servants, the bad servant, or the master? He also examines the portrayal of God and Jesus in this parable and addresses the common perception of it depicting an angry and unjust God. Don't miss this insightful and reflective discussion.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Cathy discusses the profound impact of wildfires on Indigenous communities in Canada. According to the Canadian Climate Institute, 80% of majority-Indigenous communities are located in fire-prone regions, with more than 42% of wildfire evacuations coming from these areas. Between 1980 and 2021, 16 communities faced evacuations five or more times, most of which were First Nations reserves. Join us as Cathy shares her insights on the challenges these communities face and the urgent need for support and solutions.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us on July 28 for a special Sunday service at Canadian Memorial United Church with Jeff Rock. In his sermon, "CMUC's Got Talents," Jeff will explore The Parable of the Talents, one of the most challenging pieces of the Bible. This sermon is part of our series on the parables of Jesus. Jeff will delve into the complexities of the story, questioning whether we see ourselves as the good servants, the bad servant, or the master. He will also discuss the portrayal of God and Jesus in this parable, which many find to depict an angry and unjust God. Don't miss this thought-provoking and inspiring service.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us as Jeff Rock introduces a profound water acknowledgement, recognizing the traditional waters of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Salish Sea surrounding us. A week ago, Tsleil-Waututh hereditary Chief Rueben George led an Interfaith Water Ceremony with the Tsleil-Waututh Nation Sacred Trust, paddling into the Burrard Inlet to protest the completion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline.

This video emphasizes that land and water acknowledgements are not just ceremonial; they are a call to action. By acknowledging these are unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, we commit to preventing future injustices and supporting local Indigenous opposition to oil tankers. We stand with our Interfaith partners, praying for peace, eco-justice, and a transition to renewable energy.

Let's work together towards reconciliation, ensuring that profits do not come before people and our planet.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us as Jeff Rock introduces a profound water acknowledgement, recognizing the traditional waters of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Salish Sea surrounding us. A week ago, Tsleil-Waututh hereditary Chief Rueben George led an Interfaith Water Ceremony with the Tsleil-Waututh Nation Sacred Trust, paddling into the Burrard Inlet to protest the completion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline.

This video emphasizes that land and water acknowledgements are not just ceremonial; they are a call to action. By acknowledging these are unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, we commit to preventing future injustices and supporting local Indigenous opposition to oil tankers. We stand with our Interfaith partners, praying for peace, eco-justice, and a transition to renewable energy.

Let's work together towards reconciliation, ensuring that profits do not come before people and our planet.

This will be our choir's finale performance until they return in the fall. Rev. Jeff Rock will be delivering a powerful sermon on the urgent need for a cultural shift in our approach to finances. Discover why embracing new, risky ways of doing things and being willing to risk failure is essential, as sticking to the same old methods is no longer an option. Don't miss this transformative message and the beautiful musical send-off from our choir!

Mary Lou shares poignant stories from her childhood, highlighting the lack of dialogue in the past and the positive changes we are witnessing today. In honour of National Indigenous History Month, let's seize the opportunity to learn about the unique cultures, traditions, and experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and M&eacute;tis communities. Together, we can foster understanding, respect, and meaningful connections.

Jeff emphasizes that Pride is not just about loving 2SLGBTQIA+ people despite their sexual selves, but because of it. During Pride Month, we celebrate the whole person: sex, sexuality, and all. This month is about pushing the boundaries of inclusion, even into the uncomfortable places. Watch this inspiring video to learn more about the importance of embracing every aspect of our identities.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us this Sunday, June 9, 2024, at Canadian Memorial United Church for a special service with Jeff Rock. Jeff is going to draw on Trinity Sunday and will explore the United Church Motto, "that all may be one," alongside the Indigenous Motto, "All my relations." His sermon will delve into the 99 names of God in Islam and discuss the diverse ways we come to know God beyond the concept of the Trinity. This unique and inclusive message promises to be thought-provoking and inspiring. Everyone is welcome!

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Holy Week and Easter events 2024 at Canadian Memorial United Church are special as we come together to celebrate the light, love and the magic of Easter. We will set out with palm branches drenched in hope, moving through the tender offerings of Maundy Thursday, the devastation of Good Friday and finally to the glory of the resurrection. This holiest of weeks holds the full depth and breadth of our human experience, our heartbreaks, triumphs, and countless subtle blessings. 

Holy Week might be called liminal, meaning threshold, a place from which transformation emerges. As we walk through this time-in-between we are opened to new insights, hope and deepened faith for trying times. In the words of Father Richard Rohr we should "get there often and stay as long as you can by whatever means possible. This is the sacred space where the old world is able to fall apart, and a bigger world is revealed." We are listing all the Easter things to do this season in Vancouver. You and your friends and family are so welcome to join us for any or all of the following Holy Week events. 
1) Palm Sunday - March 24 - 10:30 am
2) Maundy Thursday - March 28 - 7 pm
3) Good Friday- March 29- 10:30 am
4) Easter Sunrise Service - March 31 - 6:45 am 
5) Easter Breakfast - March 31 - 7:30 am 
6) Easter Sunday - March 31 - 10:30 am 
7) Holy Humour Sunday - April 9 - 10:30 am

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us on our Palm Sunday service with Rev. Jeff Rock as we continue towards Holy Week and Easter season, live streamed on March 24, 2024 at Canadian Memorial United Church. This Sunday, Palm Sunday, marks the beginning of Holy Week, the most important week in the church calendar.  Children will be opening the service with a reading and our annual Palm Parade. This is the last part of our Sermon Series called "Blessed are the Peacemakers" where we reflect on our world that needs peace so badly. The title of this sermon is "Imagine two parades - Roman army vs Jesus and followers". You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Holy Week and Easter events 2024 at Canadian Memorial United Church are special as we come together to celebrate the light, love and the magic of Easter. We will set out with palm branches drenched in hope, moving through the tender offerings of Maundy Thursday, the devastation of Good Friday and finally to the glory of the resurrection. This holiest of weeks holds the full depth and breadth of our human experience, our heartbreaks, triumphs, and countless subtle blessings. 

Holy Week might be called liminal, meaning threshold, a place from which transformation emerges. As we walk through this time-in-between we are opened to new insights, hope and deepened faith for trying times. In the words of Father Richard Rohr we should "get there often and stay as long as you can by whatever means possible. This is the sacred space where the old world is able to fall apart, and a bigger world is revealed." We are listing all the Easter things to do this season in Vancouver. You and your friends and family are so welcome to join us for any or all of the following Holy Week events. 
1) Palm Sunday - March 24 - 10:30 am
2) Maundy Thursday - March 28 - 7 pm
3) Good Friday- March 29- 10:30 am
4) Easter Sunrise Service - March 31 - 6:45 am 
5) Easter Breakfast - March 31 - 7:30 am 
6) Easter Sunday - March 31 - 10:30 am 
7) Holy Humour Sunday - April 9 - 10:30 am

Jeff Rock as we continue Lent 2024 season, live streamed on March 17, 2024 at Canadian Memorial United Church. Today we continue our Lenten journey, a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal.  In the Season of Lent, we are starting a Sermon Series called "Blessed are the Peacemakers" as we reflect on our world that needs peace so badly. The title of this sermon is "But what is peace?". You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us on our fourth Sunday of Lent with Rev. Jeff Rock as we continue Lent 2024 season, live streamed on March 10, 2024 at Canadian Memorial United Church. Today we continue our Lenten journey, a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal.  In the Season of Lent, we are starting a Sermon Series called "Blessed are the Peacemakers" as we reflect on our world that needs peace so badly. The title of this sermon is "Onward, Christian Soldiers". You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

In this video, Nancy discusses the importance of this change and encourages viewers to take action. Learn how you can make a difference by dialing 311 and expressing your concern to the city about the delay in implementing this meaningful renaming.

Jeff as he begins our time together in a meaningful way, acknowledging the unceded traditional territories of the xʷmə&theta;kʷəy?"əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱w&uacute;7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations in the City of Vancouver. In this video, he reflects on the historical impact of residential schools in the Lower Mainland, highlighting locations like St. Paul's Residential School, St. Mary's Mission, and Coqualeetza Residential School. As we enter the Season of Lent, a time for repentance and reflection, Rev. Jeff invites us to acknowledge the wrongs of the residential school system and seek repentance for the violence inflicted on Indigenous peoples.

Jeff as he begins our time together in a meaningful way, acknowledging the unceded traditional territories of the xʷmə&theta;kʷəy?"əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱w&uacute;7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations in the City of Vancouver. In this video, he reflects on the historical impact of residential schools in the Lower Mainland, highlighting locations like St. Paul's Residential School, St. Mary's Mission, and Coqualeetza Residential School. As we enter the Season of Lent, a time for repentance and reflection, Rev. Jeff invites us to acknowledge the wrongs of the residential school system and seek repentance for the violence inflicted on Indigenous peoples.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us on our second Sunday of Lent with Rev. Jeff Rock as we start Lent 2024 season, live streamed on February 25, 2024 at Canadian Memorial United Church. Today we continue our Lenten journey, a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal.  In the Season of Lent, we are starting a Sermon Series called "Blessed are the Peacemakers" as we reflect on our world that needs peace so badly. The title of this sermon is "Lost in the Wilderness". You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us on our first Sunday of Lent with Rev. Jeff Rock as we start Lent 2024 season, live streamed on February 18, 2024 at Canadian Memorial United Church. Today we begin our Lenten journey, a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal.  In the Season of Lent, we are starting a Sermon Series called "Blessed are the Peacemakers" as we reflect on our world that needs peace so badly. The title of this sermon is "Underdogs". You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Drive Thru Ash Wednesday at Canadian Memorial United Church sign. Just honk for Ashes! Drive-Through Ash Wednesday is a unique way to observe the first day of Lent, which is a season of reflection and repentance leading up to Easter. On February 14, 2024, Canadian Memorial United Church will be hosting a drive-through Ash Wednesday event for those who wish to receive ashes and have a moment of spiritual reflection.

During the event, participants will drive through a designated area where our ministers will be waiting to place ashes on their foreheads in the shape of a cross. This is a traditional symbol of repentance and reminder of mortality.

Drive-Through Ash Wednesday offers a convenient and safe way for people to observe the day, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also allows individuals to participate in the tradition without having to physically attend a church service, making it accessible to a wider audience.

If you are interested in participating in Canadian Memorial United Church's Drive-Through Ash Wednesday event on February 22, 2023, just honk for ashes. The proceedings will go something like this: drive up, or ride your bike, honk or yell, and out comes a minister with palm ash in tow. A cross will be drawn on the head or hand of the recipient, scripture will be recited along with a prayer: "You are dust and you shall return to dust."

Jeff Rock in a profound exploration of the dual nature of music as both an exemplar of hope, peace, joy, and love, and a poignant recognition of heartbreak, injustice, and violence.

Uncover the historical significance of anti-war music during the Vietnam War era, the tradition of Palestinian folk music, and the rich history of African American spirituals born in the heart of slavery.

This heartwarming 45-minute service is specially designed for the very young and those who love them. Children of all ages and families are invited to join us in the sanctuary for a festive celebration featuring Christmas songs, dramatized storytelling, and an opportunity for little ones to offer gifts to the Christ Child. This year, the Christmas Story will be charmingly told by the kids of the Burrard St. Story Guild, connecting the well-known birth narrative of Jesus to our own city. Don't forget to bring a bandana or ball cap to join the chorus of hiphop angels at the end of the service, where all are welcomed to gather around the Christ Child on stage.

This heartwarming 45-minute service is specially designed for the very young and those who love them. Children of all ages and families are invited to join us in the sanctuary for a festive celebration featuring Christmas songs, dramatized storytelling, and an opportunity for little ones to offer gifts to the Christ Child. This year, the Christmas Story will be charmingly told by the kids of the Burrard St. Story Guild, connecting the well-known birth narrative of Jesus to our own city. Don't forget to bring a bandana or ball cap to join the chorus of hiphop angels at the end of the service, where all are welcomed to gather around the Christ Child on stage.

It may be the first Christmas without a loved family member; it may be a time that has always been difficult. The constant refrains on radio and television, in malls and churches, about the happiness of the season, about getting together with family and friends, reminds many people of what they have lost. The death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the heartbreak we carry can make us feel alone in the midst of the celebration and joy. We need the space and time to acknowledge our sadness; we need to know that we are not alone. We need encouragement to live into the days ahead.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Remembrance Day Service live streamed on November 12, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church. Today we welcome Elizabeth Herejk as our guest speaker and the talk title is "WW2: Love and Hope Through Censored Letters". Elizabeth Herejk's father served as a doctor during WWII and sent and received more than 1,000 letters from 1941-1945 between himself, Elizabeth's mother, and other family members. Gathering information, themes, and a great many direct quotes from this correspondence, Elizabeth will share a bit about what life was like on a personal level for those living and serving during the war. 

Books of Remembrance will be open to display before and after the service. The Books of Remembrance contain the names of all Canadians who served and died in World War I, II and the Korean War, and will be open for display on November 12, 2023 from 10 am to 1:15 pm. 

At Canadian Memorial United Church, we take pride in our rich history, one that spans an impressive 95 years of unwavering dedication to our community. It's a milestone we hold dear, and we're thrilled to invite you to join us in celebrating this remarkable journey of service and remembrance. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

Join us this fall for evenings filled with laughter, fellowship, and delicious meals as we practice radical hospitality by opening our homes to friends old and new. While registration for hosting meals has closed, now's your chance to sign up and be part of these special dinners.

Mark your calendars, and stay tuned for more details! If all goes as planned, the Dine Out dinners will commence just a few weeks after Thanksgiving. Let's come together to savour not only good food but also the warmth of great company. See you there! ?️✨

Join us this fall for evenings filled with laughter, fellowship, and delicious meals as we practice radical hospitality by opening our homes to friends old and new. While registration for hosting meals has closed, now's your chance to sign up and be part of these special dinners.

Mark your calendars, and stay tuned for more details! If all goes as planned, the Dine Out dinners will commence just a few weeks after Thanksgiving. Let's come together to savour not only good food but also the warmth of great company. See you there! ?️✨

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sunday Worship Service with Rev. Blair Odney, live streamed on September 24, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church.  Rev. Blair will be leading 4 week sermon series and throughout this series, in preparation for the arrival for Rev. Jeffrey Rock, Rev. Blair Odney will invite the members and friends of CMUC into a process of growing our capacity for others. The title of the first sermon is "Show Up/Be Present". Rev. Blair Odney recently retired after more than 25 years of service in the United Church, including an extended tenure as President of our Pacific Mountain Regional Council during the early years of the pandemic. Most recently, Blair served for 11 years at Lynn Valley United Church and then Queen's Avenue United. Prior to his retirement, Blair planted the seeds for a new United Church in New Westminster - Sanctuary on Sixth. He served as the founding conductor of the Rainbow Chorus of New Westminster and served for a time on the New Westminster Pride Board of Directors. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

From their arrival in April 2022 to the present day, we've shared countless moments of laughter, tears, and growth. As our sponsorship chapter draws to a close, we embrace the bonds we've forged and look ahead to a brighter future for this remarkable family in the heart of Vancouver, Canada. Together, we've proven that compassion knows no borders. ?

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sunday Worship Service with our guest preacher Rev. Deb Bowman, live streamed on August 27, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church. The title of the sermon is "Nasty Widow". The central theme will be that puzzling parables. In this case, does Jesus really mean that we should pray always and things will work out? Or is there another message in the story? Debra is a retired minister, preacher, consultant, facilitator, wife, mom, grandma, friend...the pull on her time varies day by day although the grandsons usually win out when it comes to space in her heart. Debra was ordained in the United Church of Canada in 1995. She served several congregations in the Lower Mainland, most recently Ryerson United Church (now Pacific Spirit United Church). Although officially retired, Debra continues to serve the church through guest preaching and offering workshops and gatherings for congregations that are wondering about their future. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

As summer gracefully yields to autumn, let us pause, breathe, and reconnect with the awe-inspiring world around us. Mary's message inspires mindfulness, gratitude, and a deeper spiritual connection with the changing seasons. Experience this meaningful message during our Sunday service as the youth shares what birds have they seen during summers.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Tom Schaeferle and Sally are thrilled to announce the return of CMUC Dine Out dinners! After a three-year hiatus, we're excited to revive this cherished tradition in our community. Join us this fall as we practice radical hospitality by opening our homes to friends old and new. Registration for hosting a meal will kick off in September, followed by the opportunity to sign up for your preferred dinner. To ensure everyone gets a chance to participate, we kindly ask that you initially sign up for just one dinner. Hosts have the freedom to choose the number of guests they can accommodate and design a menu that suits their style - whether it's vegan, vegetarian, non-vegetarian, or a blend of these options. You can also decide whether to serve alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages or invite guests to BYOB. If all goes as planned, the Dine Out dinners will commence a few weeks after Thanksgiving. Stay tuned for more details and let's come together to savor good food and great company!

He was an undergraduate at University of California, San Diego, and received his BA in Judaic Studies with minors in Theatre and Philosophy. He was ordained from the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies at the American Jewish University in Los Angeles in 2009, where he also earned a masters degree in education.
After ordination, he was Assistant Rabbi at Congregation Beth Shalom in Kansas City. Then he was Rabbi of the only Masorti (Conservative) synagogue in Melbourne, Australia. Rabbi Stein and and his wife Tamar, along with their two boys, Eli and Gabriel, returned to North America in Summer 2016, when he happily joined the staff of Beth Israel here in Vancouver.

What does a posture of radical Biblical hospitality look like in today's world.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sunday Worship Service with our guest preacher Rev. Deb Bowman, live streamed on August 27, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church. The title of the sermon is "Nasty Widow". The central theme will be that puzzling parables. In this case, does Jesus really mean that we should pray always and things will work out? Or is there another message in the story? Debra is a retired minister, preacher, consultant, facilitator, wife, mom, grandma, friend...the pull on her time varies day by day although the grandsons usually win out when it comes to space in her heart. Debra was ordained in the United Church of Canada in 1995. She served several congregations in the Lower Mainland, most recently Ryerson United Church (now Pacific Spirit United Church). Although officially retired, Debra continues to serve the church through guest preaching and offering workshops and gatherings for congregations that are wondering about their future. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sunday Worship Service with our guest preacher Rev. Peter Elliot, live streamed on August 13, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church. The title of the sermon is "Radical Hospitality". The central theme will be that the Christian call of radical hospitality is one rooted not only in our ancient tradition, but also in the Way of Jesus. It's something that can transform and make new and be the centrepoint of alternative community; however, it is costly. What does a posture of radical Biblical hospitality look like in today's world. Originally from Sacramento, California, Daniel is one of the many (oh so many) American transplants to Vancouver. After falling in love with BC while attending VST, he stumbled into work with the Pacific Mountain Regional Council and currently serves as their Campus Ministry Animator. Daniel's work is rooted in building new and equipping existing temporary faith communities at nine campuses throughout BC and Alberta. He loves seeing the next generation fall in love with Jesus almost as much as a locally-sourced dark roast cup of coffee.You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us for a transformative Pride Worship Service at Canadian Memorial United Church featuring our guest preacher, Rev. Dr. Gary Paterson. In this service, titled 'A Longer Table', we delve into the essence of inclusive community and celebrate the diversity that enriches our congregation. Part of the sermon was referencing Pride, the recognition and celebration of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and CMUC's history of Affirmation. Another focus was on the scripture itself, the one story in the Gospels where Jesus does not come off looking that good. Which is to say, he too has much to learn about crossing boundaries, acceptance, and the greater community of shalom. What can we learn from his experience? Rev. Gary briefly explores the reasons we humans have so much difficulty living with diversity and how the Gospel can both demand and inspire a broader love within us, as individuals and as a community. This Queer-affirming services is to honour the Vancouver Pride Week at our church and we will be lighting up the inside of the church with rainbow colours during the service.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sunday Worship Service with our Rev. Cathy Merchant, live streamed on August 6, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church. The title of the sermon is "Wrestling with Scripture". 
The central theme will be about inclusive community. This Queer-affirming services is to honour the Vancouver Pride Week at our church and we will be lighting up the inside of the church with rainbow colours during the service. Cathy will be preaching about the so-called "clobber verses" that are often pulled from scripture to falsely demonize queer people but which we now know were never meant to be used and interpreted in that way. She will provide more background into these verses, other theologically and historically-sound interpretations for them, and why it is important for both the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and the church not to give up on one another but, instead, to keep learning and growing together. Don't forget to join us for Vancouver Pride Parade after the service. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

The title of the sermon is 'From Knowledge to Faith'. We all know things about God, about Jesus, about faith...things we hold true. Sometimes it feels like those truths get caught in head knowledge and don't affect who we're becoming, that those truths are too risky to act on, yet that's the very invitation Jesus offers when he says, 'Follow me.'

You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

Join us as Cathy Merchant announces it during Sunday Service that we will have for a special gathering designed to bring us closer together on Sunday, July 16th, at the Canadian Memorial Centre for Peace.

Whether you have been part of our church family for over 20 years or less than two years, this event is an opportunity for us to connect, share food, and exchange stories. We believe that building strong relationships within our community is vital for our collective growth and support. 

As we break bread and share laughter, we'll have the chance to get to know one another on a deeper level, fostering a sense of belonging and unity within our diverse congregation.

Debra is a retired minister, preacher, consultant, facilitator, wife, mom, grandma, friend...the pull on her time varies day by day although the grandsons usually win out when it comes to space in her heart. Debra was ordained in the United Church of Canada in 1995. She served several congregations in the Lower Mainland, most recently Ryerson United Church (now Pacific Spirit United Church). Although officially retired, Debra continues to serve the church through guest preaching and offering workshops and gatherings for congregations that are wondering about their future.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sunday Worship Service with our guest preacher Rev. Debra Bowman, live streamed on June 25, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church. The title of the sermon is 'Driving Out, Calling In'. The theme of this sermon is going to be about what holds us in captivity, and how we are released, and the politics of oppression, and how we scapegoat those who are different or seek to liberate. Debra is a retired minister, preacher, consultant, facilitator, wife, mom, grandma, friend...the pull on her time varies day by day although the grandsons usually win out when it comes to space in her heart. Debra was ordained in the United Church of Canada in 1995. She served several congregations in the Lower Mainland, most recently Ryerson United Church (now Pacific Spirit United Church). Although officially retired, Debra continues to serve the church through guest preaching and offering workshops and gatherings for congregations that are wondering about their future. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

It is the Sunday before National Indigenous Peoples Day (June 21), which is an opportunity to celebrate First Nations, Inuit, and M&eacute;tis peoples' values, customs, languages, and culture.

In honour of National Indigenous History Month, we encourage you to read the calls to action from the Truth &amp; Reconciliation Commission. Don't miss out on the opportunity to recognize, learn more about cultural diversity of the First Nations, M&eacute;tis and Inuit people and to celebrate achievements of all indigenous people across Canada.

First important step in Poppy's spiritual life: baby Poppy was baptized by Rev. Beth Hayward Canadian Memorial United Church. Big honour for us all! As we gathered to witness this baptism, we were reminded of the immense blessings that surround us and the importance of nurturing and guiding the next generation. It is a privilege to be part of their lives and to support them as they grow in love, compassion, and understanding.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sunday Worship Service with our guest preacher Rev. Murray Pruden, live streamed on June 18, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church. The title of the sermon is Hope and Be. This Sunday, we will be focusing on National Indigeouns History Month. Rev. Murray Pruden is Nehiyaw, Cree First Nations from the Goodfish Lake and Saddle Lake First Nations. He grew up in the rural community of Smoky Lake. And his family's history come from that area based on his ancestor Rev. Henry Bird Steinhauer. Rev. Pruden has studied theatre at the University of Alberta, received a theatre performance diploma from Keyano college in Fort McMurray and an undergrad BFA from the University of Lethbridge. He completed his Master of Divinity at the Vancouver School of Theology at UBC and studies at the Sandy Saulteaux Spiritual Centre in Manitoba. Murray's path to Ministry has taken him to many good uses of his talents and spiritual gifts- dramatic works on theological topics, workshop presentations on storytelling, ecumenical representation on Indigenous theology and sermon reflections to various communities of faith across Canada. Rev. Pruden is the current National Executive Minister for Indigenous Ministries and Justice for the United Church of Canada. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Mary Toth (Children's Church Coordinator) introducing our new summer program for Children in Canadian Memorial United Church starting on July 2, 2023. Story Arts School is a story-centered program using play, music, art, and drama to explore biblical narratives, expand the mythic imagination, nurture spiritual practices, develop emotional intelligence, and ground children and youth in an earth-centered, community-based, and open-minded spirituality.

The Story Arts classes are designed to stand alone. No religious affiliation is necessary. The non-religious are welcome. The mainstay of the storytelling is biblical but there is lots of room for stories from other mythic and sacred traditions.

Don't forget to register your children in this exciting program. We have age specific classes starting from 18 months to Grade 9. Read more: https://www.canadianmemorial.org/summer-program

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us for Pentecost Sunday with Beth Hayward, live streamed on May 28, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church as we end our 5 week sermon series titled "Above all else Love". Join Canadian Memorial United, in person and live-streamed, as we mark the ending of 11 years of being community with our leader Rev. Beth Hayward. Our five-week sermon series Above all else Love, concludes on Pentecost Sunday. 

This is the day we remember the story of the Holy Spirit descending upon the earliest followers of the Way. It's the perfect note to end this series as we celebrate the power of Holy Love, as we relish in the abundance of God's presence in our midst. We'll not just ask what it means to live lives infused with the Holy Spirit, we'll experience what such a life feels like!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us in this sermon series 4 where Beth Hayward talked about "Rest of the Weary" at Canadian Memorial United Church as we continue our 5 week sermon series titled "Above all else Love". Join Canadian Memorial United, in person and live-streamed, as we mark the ending of 11 years of being community with our leader Rev. Beth Hayward. 

We live in a culture that values productivity, that praises those who accomplish a lot, particularly if they accomplish it in short order. Today we explore the counter-cultural biblical imperative to take time to rest. The Christian tradition invites prayer, solitude, and reflection as means to ground our spiritual lives. Carving out room for rest in times of tremendous change and upheaval is all the more difficult. As we near the end of our five-week series "Above all else Love," Rev. Beth invites us to slow down, to pause, to not only reflect on rest for our weary souls but to experience rest in our worship service.

Hybrid church is touted as the way of the future, but for CMUC the future is now. We have engaged in integrated worship for more than three years now. All are welcome.  After a morning of inspiration and reflection, keep the good vibes going at our coffee hour! Want to meet new people and connect with our community? Stop by our coffee hour after Sunday service for a laid-back and friendly atmosphere. It's the perfect way to end your weekend and start the week off right. See you there!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us in this sermon series 4 where Beth Hayward talked about "Rest of the Weary" at Canadian Memorial United Church as we continue our 5 week sermon series titled "Above all else Love". Join Canadian Memorial United, in person and live-streamed, as we mark the ending of 11 years of being community with our leader Rev. Beth Hayward. 

We live in a culture that values productivity, that praises those who accomplish a lot, particularly if they accomplish it in short order. Today we explore the counter-cultural biblical imperative to take time to rest. The Christian tradition invites prayer, solitude, and reflection as means to ground our spiritual lives. Carving out room for rest in times of tremendous change and upheaval is all the more difficult. As we near the end of our five-week series "Above all else Love," Rev. Beth invites us to slow down, to pause, to not only reflect on rest for our weary souls but to experience rest in our worship service.

Testimony is a regular part of our practice at CMUC. When people tell their faith story it helps give them clarity about why church matters but it also allows the community to see their own
stories reflected in those who share. Recently, James took testimony to a whole new level, sharing how CMUC has been part of their love story from the beginning. Blessing you two!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sunday worship service with Rev. Beth Hayward, live streamed on May 7, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church as we continue our 5 week sermon series titled "Above all else Love". Join Canadian Memorial United, in person and live-streamed, as we mark the ending of 11 years of being community with our leader Rev. Beth Hayward. She will be talking about "Radical Authenticity". 

Authenticity is a word that is used a lot in describing the spiritual sense of CMUC.  Some people say it is one of Rev. Beth's gifts. In this second week of our five-part series Above all else Love, Rev. Beth reveals a simple truth about authenticity. (Hint, it's something about verbs, not nouns.)

This is a good week to leave your superhero armour home and show up to worship (in person and online) with a spirit of openness. Today we explore the idea that to be authentic is to be strong, in an upside-down Kin-dom sort of way.  

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

Beth Hayward, live streamed on May 28, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church as we end our 5 week sermon series titled "Above all else Love". Join Canadian Memorial United, in person and live-streamed, as we mark the ending of 11 years of being community with our leader Rev. Beth Hayward. Our five-week sermon series Above all else Love, concludes on Pentecost Sunday. This is the day we remember the story of the Holy Spirit descending upon the earliest followers of the Way. It's the perfect note to end this series as we celebrate the power of Holy Love, as we relish in the abundance of God's presence in our midst. We'll not just ask what it means to live lives infused with the Holy Spirit, we'll experience what such a life feels like!  Wear the colours of fire, invite a friend, come prepared to celebrate the Holy alive and at work in our midst. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen. 

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

Beth Hayward, live streamed on May 21, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church as we continue our 5 week sermon series titled "Above all else Love". Join Canadian Memorial United, in person and live-streamed, as we mark the ending of 11 years of being community with our leader Rev. Beth Hayward. She will be talking about "Rest for the Weary". You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen. 

We live in a culture that values productivity, that praises those who accomplish a lot, particularly if they accomplish it in short order. Today we explore the counter-cultural biblical imperative to take time to rest. The Christian tradition invites prayer, solitude, and reflection as means to ground our spiritual lives. Carving out room for rest in times of tremendous change and upheaval is all the more difficult. As we near the end of our five-week series "Above all else Love," Rev. Beth invites us to slow down, to pause, to not only reflect on rest for our weary souls but to experience rest in our worship service.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

Beth Hayward, live streamed on May 14, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church as we continue our 5 week sermon series titled "Above all else Love". Join Canadian Memorial United, in person and live-streamed, as we mark the ending of 11 years of being community with our leader Rev. Beth Hayward. She will be talking about "This is the Time". You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen. 

At the halfway mark of our five-week series "Above all else Love," we turn our attention to time.  We have a complicated relationship with time, it can be tirelessly long and fleetingly short.  At times, we spend countless hours waiting for a better day or another way. Other times we ache for a time gone by.  What does our faith tradition say about time?  How does this mesh with what we know about time from modern physics?  How to nurture a relationship with time that is aligned with our spiritual and faith lives?  This is some of what we will delve into as Rev. Beth challenges us to consider that "this is THE time."

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sunday worship service with Rev. Beth Hayward, live streamed on May 7, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church as we continue our 5 week sermon series titled "Above all else Love". Join Canadian Memorial United, in person and live-streamed, as we mark the ending of 11 years of being community with our leader Rev. Beth Hayward. She will be talking about "Radical Authenticity". You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen. 

Authenticity is a word that is used a lot in describing the spiritual sense of CMUC.  Some people say it is one of Rev. Beth's gifts. In this second week of our five-part series Above all else Love, Rev. Beth reveals a simple truth about authenticity. (Hint, it's something about verbs, not nouns.)

This is a good week to leave your superhero armour home and show up to worship (in person and online) with a spirit of openness. Today we explore the idea that to be authentic is to be strong, in an upside-down Kin-dom sort of way.  

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

Beth Hayward, live streamed on April 30, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church as we start our 5 week sermon series titled "Above all else Love". Join Canadian Memorial United, in person and live-streamed, as we mark the ending of 11 years of being community with our leader Rev. Beth Hayward. She will be talking about "Fearless Receptivity". You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen. 

Endings are a time to take stock, to reflect on successes and failures, a time to prepare the ground for an unknown future, a real-life learning lab where we practice doing goodbye well. Endings always risk exposing our vulnerabilities and fears, we can feel exposed and so too can we feel the urgency to speak and act while there is still time. Over the next 5 weeks, Rev. Beth will set the tone for CMUC's transition as she explores the postures we might take during times of change and transition.

Join us, will you? Don't think for a moment that this is not the right time to invite someone new to join you. In fact, witnessing a community willing to speak with authenticity about the difficult work of change, might be just what a friend needs to turn their idea of church on its head and find their way into a community of transformation.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

The Seder was co-sponsored by the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), Canadian Memorial United Church (CMUC), St. Andrew's Wesley United Church, and the Living Interfaith Sanctuary. Thank you to everyone who joined us for Passover Seder. Your presence made our Interfaith Passover Seder even more meaningful. May we continue to share moments of love and togetherness in future.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us on Easter Sunday service with Rev. Beth Hayward as we continue towards the Holy Week  and Easter 2023 season, live streamed on March 26, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church. This holiest of weeks holds the full depth and breadth of our human experience, our heartbreaks, triumphs, and countless subtle blessings. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen. 

Holy Week might be called liminal, meaning threshold, a place from which transformation emerges. As we walk through this time-in-between we are opened to new insights, hope and deepened faith for trying times. In the words of Father Richard Rohr we should "get there often and stay as long as you can by whatever means possible. This is the sacred space where the old world is able to fall apart, and a bigger world is revealed."

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us on Good Friday service with Rev. Beth Hayward as we move towards the end of Holy Week  and Easter 2023 season, live streamed on April 7, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church. This holiest of weeks holds the full depth and breadth of our human experience, our heartbreaks, triumphs, and countless subtle blessings. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen. 

Holy Week might be called liminal, meaning threshold, a place from which transformation emerges. As we walk through this time-in-between we are opened to new insights, hope and deepened faith for trying times. In the words of Father Richard Rohr we should "get there often and stay as long as you can by whatever means possible. This is the sacred space where the old world is able to fall apart, and a bigger world is revealed."

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Holy Week and Easter events 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church are special as we come together to celebrate the light, love and the magic of Easter. We will set out with palm branches drenched in hope, moving through the tender offerings of Maundy Thursday, the devastation of Good Friday and finally to the glory of the resurrection. This holiest of weeks holds the full depth and breadth of our human experience, our heartbreaks, triumphs, and countless subtle blessings. 

Holy Week might be called liminal, meaning threshold, a place from which transformation emerges. As we walk through this time-in-between we are opened to new insights, hope and deepened faith for trying times. In the words of Father Richard Rohr we should "get there often and stay as long as you can by whatever means possible. This is the sacred space where the old world is able to fall apart, and a bigger world is revealed." We are listing all the Easter things to do this season in Vancouver. You and your friends and family are so welcome to join us for any or all of the following Holy Week events. 
1) Palm Sunday - April 2 - 10:30 am
2) Maundy Thursday (Passover Seder) - April 6 - 6 pm
3) Good Friday- April 7 - 10:30 am
4) Easter Sunrise Service- April 9 - 6:15 am 
5) Easter Breakfast- April 9 - 7 am 
6) Easter Sunday- April 9 - 10:30 am

Rabbi Dr. Laura was our guest preacher on our fourth Sunday of Lent as we continue Lent 2023 season, live streamed on March 19, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church.

One of the treasures of Vancouver, CMUC has a 35-rank Casavant pipe organ, with three manuals, which has tremendous power as well as a delicate side. One of the "top ten" organs in the city, it was built in 1928 by Casavant Freres of Quebec, North America's premiere organ builder, and renovated in 1960 by Hill, Norman &amp; Beard of London, England. Be it to support the choir and congregation during Sunday service, as a concert instrument, or to sweep newlyweds out of the church on a joyful tide of music, the organ at Canadian Memorial United Church has the versatility for any concert, memorial, wedding or service.

In a world that needs it more than ever, Vanessa Schellekens reminds us of the power of hope through her poetry. She shares her heartfelt poem on hope and inspires us all.

I have a strange, strained relationship with hope.
It flows through the blood of my generation, fuelling nations and replacing childhoods with news stories about doom.
I sit in my room and think about how change must come soon or else ... boom.
What a weird thing to do, to tell a child: "You will fix it."
It's like a bad YA fantasy novel.  We are the chosen ones - chosen because we didn't choose it: chosen because we were selected, unanimously elected to be directed towards a bright future.
We can't fix it all for you, but take heart - we'll make a start.

In a world that needs it more than ever, Vanessa Schellekens reminds us of the power of hope through her poetry. She shares her heartfelt poem on hope and inspires us all.

I have a strange, strained relationship with hope.
It flows through the blood of my generation, fuelling nations and replacing childhoods with news stories about doom.
I sit in my room and think about how change must come soon or else ... boom.
What a weird thing to do, to tell a child: "You will fix it."
It's like a bad YA fantasy novel.  We are the chosen ones - chosen because we didn't choose it: chosen because we were selected, unanimously elected to be directed towards a bright future.
We can't fix it all for you, but take heart - we'll make a start.

One of the treasures of Vancouver, CMUC has a 35-rank Casavant pipe organ, with three manuals, which has tremendous power as well as a delicate side. One of the "top ten" organs in the city, it was built in 1928 by Casavant Freres of Quebec, North America's premiere organ builder, and renovated in 1960 by Hill, Norman &amp; Beard of London, England. Be it to support the choir and congregation during Sunday service, as a concert instrument, or to sweep newlyweds out of the church on a joyful tide of music, the organ at Canadian Memorial United Church has the versatility for any concert, memorial, wedding or service.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Beautiful pipe organ (95 years old) in Vancouver inside Canadian Memorial United Church being played by Bruce McKenzie. Join us in person or through live-streaming every Sunday and enjoy Church music every Sunday. 
One of the treasures of Vancouver, CMUC has a 35-rank Casavant pipe organ, with three manuals, which has tremendous power as well as a delicate side. One of the "top ten" organs in the city, it was built in 1928 by Casavant Freres of Quebec, North America's premiere organ builder, and renovated in 1960 by Hill, Norman &amp; Beard of London, England. Be it to support the choir and congregation during Sunday service, as a concert instrument, or to sweep newlyweds out of the church on a joyful tide of music, the organ at Canadian Memorial United Church has the versatility for any concert, memorial, wedding or service.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday is the beginning of lent Canadian Memorial United Church. Drive-Through Ash Wednesday is a unique way to observe the first day of Lent, which is a season of reflection and repentance leading up to Easter. On February 22, 2023, Canadian Memorial United Church will be hosting a drive-through Ash Wednesday event for those who wish to receive ashes and have a moment of spiritual reflection.

During the event, participants will drive through a designated area where our Lead Minister Rev. Beth Hayward will be waiting to place ashes on their foreheads in the shape of a cross. This is a traditional symbol of repentance and reminder of mortality.

Drive-Through Ash Wednesday offers a convenient and safe way for people to observe the day, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also allows individuals to participate in the tradition without having to physically attend a church service, making it accessible to a wider audience.

If you are interested in participating in Canadian Memorial United Church's Drive-Through Ash Wednesday event on February 22, 2023, just honk for ashes. The proceedings will go something like this: drive up, or ride your bike, honk or yell, and out comes a minister with palm ash in tow. A cross will be drawn on the head or hand of the recipient, scripture will be recited along with a prayer: "You are dust and you shall return to dust."

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Drive-Through Ash Wednesday is a unique way to observe the first day of Lent, which is a season of reflection and repentance leading up to Easter. On February 22, 2023, Canadian Memorial United Church will be hosting a drive-through Ash Wednesday event for those who wish to receive ashes and have a moment of spiritual reflection.

During the event, participants will drive through a designated area where our Lead Minister Rev. Beth Hayward will be waiting to place ashes on their foreheads in the shape of a cross. This is a traditional symbol of repentance and reminder of mortality.

Drive-Through Ash Wednesday offers a convenient and safe way for people to observe the day, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also allows individuals to participate in the tradition without having to physically attend a church service, making it accessible to a wider audience.

If you are interested in participating in Canadian Memorial United Church's Drive-Through Ash Wednesday event on February 22, 2023, just honk for ashes. The proceedings will go something like this: drive up, or ride your bike, honk or yell, and out comes a minister with palm ash in tow. A cross will be drawn on the head or hand of the recipient, scripture will be recited along with a prayer: "You are dust and you shall return to dust."

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Here is a glimpse of the Ontario Window in stained glass inside Canadian Memorial United Church. Have you seen these beautiful stained glass windows in Canadian Memorial United Church? Here is the gift of stained glass this holiday season! ✨?'? "The Nativity" symbolizes the birth of the Prince of Peace and his "Call to Peace." The window also depicts two typical images of the troubled relationship between the First Nations and the explorers and empire builders of Europe. Champlain negotiated successful trading relationships between the French and the Huron nation. That was followed by the Jesuits bringing the story of the nativity to that nation. Father Brebeuf penned "Iesus Ahatonnia," the song we sing as the Huron Carol, to place the birth of Christ in a 17th-century North American context. Ultimately, we see the clash of cultures in other panels. Chief Tecumseh, statesman and military strategist, was unable to negotiate equality of status with either the Americans or the British despite his willingness to lay down the lives of himself and his people.

One of the treasures of Vancouver, CMUC has a 35-rank Casavant pipe organ, with three manuals, which has tremendous power as well as a delicate side. One of the "top ten" organs in the city, it was built in 1928 by Casavant Freres of Quebec, North America's premiere organ builder, and renovated in 1960 by Hill, Norman &amp; Beard of London, England. Be it to support the choir and congregation during Sunday service, as a concert instrument, or to sweep newlyweds out of the church on a joyful tide of music, the organ at Canadian Memorial United Church has the versatility for any concert, memorial, wedding or service.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Beautiful pipe organ (95 years old) in Vancouver inside Canadian Memorial United Church being played by Bruce McKenzie. Join us in person or through live-streaming every Sunday and enjoy Church music every Sunday. 
One of the treasures of Vancouver, CMUC has a 35-rank Casavant pipe organ, with three manuals, which has tremendous power as well as a delicate side. One of the "top ten" organs in the city, it was built in 1928 by Casavant Freres of Quebec, North America's premiere organ builder, and renovated in 1960 by Hill, Norman &amp; Beard of London, England. Be it to support the choir and congregation during Sunday service, as a concert instrument, or to sweep newlyweds out of the church on a joyful tide of music, the organ at Canadian Memorial United Church has the versatility for any concert, memorial, wedding or service.

Beth Hayward, live streamed on December 20, 2022 at Canadian Memorial United Church. The holidays can be a difficult season for many people, especially if you are grieving the loss of a loved one, processing the pain of a broken relationship, or if you are battling discouragement and loneliness. This simple service will offer space to mark these losses, as well as the opportunity to receive the love and comfort that God has for us in the midst of our pain. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now.

Beth Hayward, live streamed on December 20, 2022 at Canadian Memorial United Church. The holidays can be a difficult season for many people, especially if you are grieving the loss of a loved one, processing the pain of a broken relationship, or if you are battling discouragement and loneliness. This simple service will offer space to mark these losses, as well as the opportunity to receive the love and comfort that God has for us in the midst of our pain. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now.

Beth Hayward, live streamed on December 20, 2022 at Canadian Memorial United Church. The holidays can be a difficult season for many people, especially if you are grieving the loss of a loved one, processing the pain of a broken relationship, or if you are battling discouragement and loneliness. This simple service will offer space to mark these losses, as well as the opportunity to receive the love and comfort that God has for us in the midst of our pain. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Advent reminder by Rev. Beth Hayward in Canadian Memorial United Church.
Advent invites us to pause and reflect on how the light of Christ is coming into our hearts and this world right here and now. It is, after all, in the pause between a breath or the silence amidst our speaking when the Spirit is most likely to show up in our hearts.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Lighting of the first candle of Advent - the candle of hope at Canadian Memorial United Church. We light the candle for Hope because there are times when we lose hope. Lighting the candle is an act of Hope. Hope is Heart's invitation to Be Still, Be Light, Listen, and take the next step. Children of all ages are welcome to sit with their grownups in the main sanctuary for the start of the community worship service, which includes a land acknowledgement, choral music, congregational singing, and opening prayers. All children are then invited to the front of the sanctuary for a brief age-appropriate reflection and one child is invited to light the Christ Candle.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us for story time with our Family Minister Tama Ward in Canadian Memorial United Church during Sunday service. Tama said to the children: one of the best ways to not rush into Christmas is to avoid the shopping malls. I couldn't agree more. You might also want to consider coming to church, in the sanctuary or through the live stream, where we begin marking the season of Advent next week. The purpose of Advent is not to stifle your early singing of carols, sing your heart out if it brings you joy! Instead, Advent invites us to pause and reflect on how the light of Christ is coming into our hearts and this world right here and now. It is, after all, in the pause between a breath or the silence amidst our speaking when the Spirit is most likely to show up in our hearts.

Canadian Memorial United Church was devasted to hear about the 5 victims who lost their lives and 19 others who were injured in the Colorado Springs 2SLGBTQIA+ Club shooting.

As we firmly stand in our community as one that supports all persons, no matter their age, race, gender, sexuality, or religion, we encourage each and every one of you to stand in solidarity as well.

We live in a world where individuals who identify as Queer or Trans, fear for their lives on a daily basis and have to actively search for safe spaces.

During this difficult time, we encourage you to reach out to churches or other affirming spaces to lend support and healing.

Canadian Memorial United Church is an affirming church that accepts all persons and we are here to help. Our prayers are with all those impacted.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Join us for story time with our Family Minister Tama Ward in Canadian Memorial United Church during Sunday service. Tama said to the children: one of the best ways to not rush into Christmas is to avoid the shopping malls. I couldn't agree more. You might also want to consider coming to church, in the sanctuary or through the live stream, where we begin marking the season of Advent next week. The purpose of Advent is not to stifle your early singing of carols, sing your heart out if it brings you joy! Instead, Advent invites us to pause and reflect on how the light of Christ is coming into our hearts and this world right here and now. It is, after all, in the pause between a breath or the silence amidst our speaking when the Spirit is most likely to show up in our hearts.

Gurwinder Singh and his family would like us to join them and their community for a vegetarian langar lunch, a tour of their sanctuary and facilities, and a traditional Sikh ceremony. They loved their visit here to CMUC back in September and would like to deepen the connection between our communities now by having us join them in their holy space.

Want to Save Lives? Join us as the Narcan (also known as Naloxone) training is for everyone. It will be run by long-time activist chaplain Tracy Tobin. She has helped organize and run many harm-reduction programs on the DTES and is passionate about training folks in how to administer Narcan and thus override a drug overdose.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Remembrance service tribute and history of Canadian Memorial United Church (CMUC) on Remembrance Day. For Remembrance Day, we have a multimedia presentation by the Burrard Story Guild telling the founding story of Canadian Memorial United Church and of Rev. Colonel G.O. Fallis, who built the sanctuary as a memorial to those who served and died in World War I. The Last Post is also performed at the remembrance service.

Books of Remembrance will be open to display after the service. This is the only other copies of the Books of Remembrance outside of Ottawa. The Books of Remembrance contain the names of all Canadians who served and died in World War I, II and the Korean War. This year, the books will be open for display on November 6, 2022 from noon to 1:00 pm. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen. 

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[For Remembrance Day, we have a multimedia presentation by the Burrard Story Guild telling the founding story of Canadian Memorial United Church and of Rev. Colonel G.O. Fallis, who built the sanctuary as a memorial to those who served and died in World War I. Peace Dreams is a war lament sung for Remembrance Service in Canadian Memorial United Church. Peace Dreams is an original song by Ricardo music director for Burrard St. Story Guild. We recite names from the Books of Remembrance, lay wreaths, observe a period of silence, and stand for the Last Post.

Books of Remembrance were open to display after the service. This is the only other copies of the Books of Remembrance outside of Ottawa. The Books of Remembrance contain the names of all Canadians who served and died in World War I, II and the Korean War. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen. 

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

On Thursday June 16th, we had an end of year Jazz Band concert hosted by Eric Hamber Secondary School to highlight all the hard work their band students have put in throughout the year. The large student Jazz band was also accompanied for a few songs by some Eric Hamber alumni musicians. The concert brought in equipment and instruments from the VSB in addition to renting our house piano.

Want to Save Lives? Join us as the Narcan (also known as Naloxone) training is for everyone. It will be run by long-time activist chaplain Tracy Tobin. She has helped organize and run many harm-reduction programs on the DTES and is passionate about training folks in how to administer Narcan and thus override a drug overdose.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Drumming circles are an integral part of our Story Arts 4 programming for youth (Grades 6-12) in Canadian Memorial United Church.  The drumming is led by John Peters and the participants experience the unitive energy that comes from holding a shared rhythm over an extended period. 

The Story Arts classes are designed to stand alone. No religious affiliation is necessary. The non-religious are welcome. The mainstay of the storytelling is biblical but there is lots of room for stories from other mythic and sacred traditions.

Don't forget to register your children in this exciting program. We have age specific classes starting from 18 months to Grade 9. Read more: https://www.canadianmemorial.org/story-arts-school

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Drumming circles are an integral part of our Story Arts 4 programming for youth (Grades 6-12) in Canadian Memorial United Church.  The drumming is led by John Peters and the participants experience the unitive energy that comes from holding a shared rhythm over an extended period. 

The Story Arts classes are designed to stand alone. No religious affiliation is necessary. The non-religious are welcome. The mainstay of the storytelling is biblical but there is lots of room for stories from other mythic and sacred traditions.

Don't forget to register your children in this exciting program. We have age specific classes starting from 18 months to Grade 9. Read more: https://www.canadianmemorial.org/story-arts-school

"Peace be with you" are words Jesus spoke and were a hallmark of the early church. When we engage in this simple gesture we both identify with Christ and declare our deep and faithful commitment to being peace builders.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[StreetMeals for Street-Involved Youth in Vancouver at Canadian Memorial United Church. This ministry prepares food (sandwiches, chili) at the Canadian Memorial Centre for Peace for distribution to street-involved youth. It is hosted in collaboration with Family Services of Greater Vancouver Youth Services by providing assistance to homeless and at-risk youth in Downtown Vancouver by collecting and delivering clothing, blankets, hygiene kits and other items to help meet the daily needs of youth on the street and in residence. StreetMeals also provides bursaries for post secondary education. We support young adults who have a history of street involvement and a future geared towards social work or a related field. Other worthy applications will be considered dependent on funds available. 

Third Saturday of each month |  9:00 am - 12:30 pm 

All are welcome and we specially invite new people. Come learn how StreetMeals serves the challenged youth of our community.]]></content:encoded>

Cathy Merchant talked about "Sitting in the Fire: Meditation in Buddhist and Christian Practice" in Sunday Service live streamed on September 4, 2022.

Yet does meditation serve the same purpose in the two traditions? In which ways, if at all, are Buddhist meditation and Christian contemplation different? Can someone practice both, or would that be spiritually inconsistent?

She talked about how Buddhists have embraced meditation for thousands of years. And with each passing year, more and more Christians are upholding it as one of their most important and transformative spiritual practices. Yet does meditation serve the same purpose in the two traditions? In which ways, if at all, are Buddhist meditation and Christian contemplation different? Can someone practice both, or would that be spiritually inconsistent?

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Minister of Children, Youth &amp; Families Tama Ward introducing our new program for Children "Story Arts School" in Canadian Memorial United Church starting on September 18, 2022. Story Arts School is a story-centered program using play, music, art, and drama to explore biblical narratives, expand the mythic imagination, nurture spiritual practices, develop emotional intelligence, and ground children and youth in an earth-centered, community-based, and open-minded spirituality.

The Story Arts classes are designed to stand alone. No religious affiliation is necessary. The non-religious are welcome. The mainstay of the storytelling is biblical but there is lots of room for stories from other mythic and sacred traditions.

Don't forget to register your children in this exciting program. We have age specific classes starting from 18 months to Grade 9. Read more: https://www.canadianmemorial.org/story-arts-school

Children of all ages are welcome to sit with their grownups in the main sanctuary for the start of the community worship service, which includes a land acknowledgement, choral music, congregational singing, and opening prayers. All children are then invited to the front of the sanctuary for a brief age-appropriate reflection and one child is invited to light the Christ Candle. This Sunday Service was live streamed on August 28, 2022 at Canadian Memorial United Church.

Cathy will be speaking about "Sitting in the Fire: Meditation in Buddhist and Christian Practice" and how Buddhists have embraced meditation for thousands of years. And with each passing year, more and more Christians are upholding it as one of their most important and transformative spiritual practices. Yet does meditation serve the same purpose in the two traditions? In which ways, if at all, are Buddhist meditation and Christian contemplation different? Can someone practice both, or would that be spiritually inconsistent? You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

El-Farouk will be talking about "Embracing Queerness from a Muslim Perspective". Imam El-Farouk Khaki is a human rights advocate and refugee lawyer, based in Toronto. He is the founder of Salaam: Queer Muslim Community and the imam and co-founder of El-Tawhid Juma Circle, with his husband Troy Jackson. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen. Also, we are hosting a special worship service for The United Church of Canada -- the Installation of Moderator on August 7, 2022 so our Sunday morning service will be CANCELLED.

Important step in Julia's spiritual life: Julia was baptized by Rev. Beth Hayward. Whenever it happens, whether as a baby, child or adult, baptism is at the heart of an amazing journey of faith as a follower of Jesus Christ.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Our Guest Preacher Dr. Thomas Jay Oord talking about Three Kinds of Love in Canadian Memorial United Church. Thomas Jay Oord has a gift for speaking to all ages and cultures on what it means to be an open, relational and loving person living in a world of suffering. It's difficult to understand why God would not stop the unnecessary suffering we see in the world and experience ourselves. The usual "answers" aren't answers at all, and it makes it hard to believe God exists. In this service, Dr. Thomas Jay Oord presented a different and more winsome view of God, as a Spirit who is open, relational, and always loving. He explained with ideas that make sense how this God responds to suffering.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sunday Worship Service with our Guest Preacher Dr. Thomas Jay Oord, live streamed on July 17, 2022 at Canadian Memorial United Church! Thomas Jay Oord will be talking about Three Kinds of Love and he has a gift for speaking to all ages and cultures on what it means to be an open, relational and loving person living in a world of suffering. It's difficult to understand why God would not stop the unnecessary suffering we see in the world and experience ourselves. The usual "answers" aren't answers at all, and it makes it hard to believe God exists. In this service, Dr. Thomas Jay Oord will present a different and more winsome view of God, as a Spirit who is open, relational, and always loving. And he'll explain with ideas that make sense how this God responds to suffering.You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen.

ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME here. We love newcomers! Feel free to join the live chat either below or at the top right corner of this window. We love to hear where people are tuning in from, and learning whose traditional lands they are on.

Canadian Memorial United Church is open for Concerts in Church!

On Thursday June 16th, we had an end of year Jazz Band concert hosted by Eric Hamber Secondary School to highlight all the hard work their band students have put in throughout the year. The large student Jazz band was also accompanied for a few songs by some Eric Hamber alumni musicians. The concert brought in equipment and instruments from the VSB in addition to renting our house piano.

Take advantage of our Instruments, lights, tech support and Live Streaming feature in the heart of Vancouver!

On Thursday June 16th, we had an end of year Jazz Band concert hosted by Eric Hamber Secondary School to highlight all the hard work their band students have put in throughout the year. The large student Jazz band was also accompanied for a few songs by some Eric Hamber alumni musicians. The concert brought in equipment and instruments from the VSB in addition to renting our house piano.

Take advantage of our Instruments, lights, tech support and Live Streaming feature in the heart of Vancouver!

With thoughtful, poignant and celebratory music, Christmas at CMUC is special as we come together to celebrate the light, love and the magic of Christmas. And there's always room for you!

You're especially invited to our two Christmas Eve services on December 24:

A sweet half-hour service for the very young and those who love them!
(Aimed at kids up to 5 years of age and their accompanying families. There will be no live stream of this service.)

CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE FOR EVERYONE!

We are a strong, vibrant community of faith in the United Church of Canada, and live streaming since March has provided us an opportunity to engage even more people in our open hearted, open minded affirming ministry. Now is the moment to invest in this work that Spirit is calling us to; to build on our strengths and to be a light to seekers near and far. To this end, we invite you to make a joyful noise and support our super fun virtual FUNdraiser in support of our live streaming ministry! 

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

1. Help us achieve our FUNdraising goal! Click on this link to donate:
https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/m/49559/donation

2. Help spread the word! Tell your friends and family! The cool thing about this being online is that physical location is no barrier to who can attend this musical event!

3. On June 13 at 7pm (pacific), tune in online right here! You've requested your favourite hymns, so pull up a couch and get ready to sing along with us! Words will be shared on the screen, and we'll provide the band and backup singers!  :-)

Episode 7, Final Blessing includes the story from Luke 24 about the last time Jesus is with his disciples before the clouds envelope him and he is taken up into heaven, known in some traditions as The Ascension.  Kids also learn how to give and receive a blessing, and Tama attempts a level 101 science experiment to explain the departure of Jesus.]]></content:encoded>

See below for complete Sermon audio link.

Bishop Flunder is Founder and Senior Pastor at City of Refuge United Church of Christ in Oakland, CA. She is also Presiding Bishop of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries, a multi-denominational coalition of over 100 primarily African American Christian leaders.

Founded in 2000, the overriding purpose of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries is to support religious teachers and laity in moving towards a theology of radical inclusivity which, by its very nature, requires an equally radical social ministry, reaching to the furthest margins of society to serve all in need without prejudice and discrimination.

Canadian Memorial is going through our own Affirming Ministries process, and we are thrilled to have Bishop Flunder as a teacher and visionary in that process.

Professor Jason Byassee, a minister of the United Methodist Church (USA), holds the Butler Chair in Homiletics and Biblical Interpretation at the Vancouver School of Theology. He also teaches historical theology with an eye to how the minds and lives of the saints can help renew the church&acirc;s life today. He also teachers about writing, discerning God in popular culture, technology, and theological conversation between Jews and Christians.

Jason Byassee studied at Davidson College, Davidson, North Carolina, and received his Master of Divinity and Ph.D. in Religion at Duke Divinity School and University.

Professor Byassee believes that all teachers teach for that moment when students&acirc; eyes come alive, when the penny drops, and they see things they couldn&acirc;t see before. &acirc;Jesus calls his students &acirc;friends,&acirc;&acirc; he has written, &acirc;and ever thereafter the line between teacher and taught has been thin indeed. I&acirc;m fascinated by how creative pastors and other faith leaders have to be to grow something in this part of post-Christendom North America.&acirc;

Dr. Byassee believes that the church is going to have to take back more of its theological and catechetical training from the academy where we&acirc;ve about ruined it.]]></content:encoded>

Dr. Topping is the Principal of the Vancouver School of Theology and a big fan of Canadian Memorial and all the students that come to VST from here.

&acirc;I understand that the church in Canada has undergone decline,&acirc; says Richard, &acirc;The church that we have now is not the church that many of us baby-boomers grew up with. However, God is sending us students now who have never known Christendom and they have things to teach us.&acirc;

Richard received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies from University of Waterloo, a Master of Arts in Theology from St. Michael&acirc;s University in the Toronto School of Theology and a Doctor of Philosophy in Theology from Wycliffe College, Toronto.

Richard taught at Presbyterian College (2001-2009) in the Montreal School of Theology at McGill University in the areas of Preaching, Pastoral Theology, Introduction to Ministry and Church, Ministry and Sacraments.

Richard holds the St. Andrew&acirc;s Hall Chair in Studies in the Reformed Tradition. He teaches in the areas of Introduction to Theology, Reformation History, Christian Spirituality and Reformed Theology of the 19th and Twentieth Century. He has also lectured at Regent College in the area of Theology and Proclamation. He has published in the areas of theological hermeneutics, homiletics, philosophy of religion, systematic theology and the theologies of John Calvin and Karl Barth.]]></content:encoded>

Rhian graduated from the Vancouver School of Theology in 2016 and was ordained that year. Rhian wasn&acirc;t raised with any formal or informal religion, so imagine her surprise to find she was on the path to ordained ministry shortly after the birth of her first child.
In her younger years, Rhian looked around the world and thought it was sacred. What she couldn&acirc;t wrap her mind around was not the beauty but the horror so often created. She explored many traditions - science, education and personal practice, some of which went well and some, well, not so much.   

After serving with Trinity United Church, the Heartwood Caf&Atilde;&copy;, and Lynn Valley United Church, Rhian is now working part-time for BC Conference. She is the mother of two children, and is a singer and poet.]]></content:encoded>

It means creating the space that we might all be transformed by the errors of our past (and in some cases the errors of our present). 

Our Minister of Community Life, Rev Christine Boyle, preaches on Genesis 22, and on Risky Apologies in the context of a God of Evolution and of Transformation.

Danica Black has been the Minister of Children, Youth and Families at CMUC since the Fall of 2014.

Formerly a summer staff youth leader and coordinator at Naramata Centre, Danica brings a passion for creative children and youth ministry.

Danica is on the Board of Check Your Head, a youth-driven not-for-profit organization focused on educating, activating and empowering young people to engage in social, environmental and economic justice movements.

This past Sunday we explored the idea of a God who cries. What might it look like if we really trusted that God weeps with those who weep? Can we dare to enter the vulnerability such a God invites? Does a crying God have enough power to change this hurting world?]]></content:encoded>

On March 19, 2017, we welcomed Rev. Dr. Carmen Lansdowne, a member of the Heiltsuk First Nation, and an ordained minister in the United Church of Canada. Carmen holds an M.Div and a Th.M from the Vancouver School of Theology, and a Ph.D from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. She is the new Executive Director of First United Church in Vancouver&acirc;s DTES. One of Carmen&acirc;s passions is taking the best of indigenous thinking on what constitutes knowledge and truth, and using its radically inclusive and ambiguous nature to open up christian theology and missiology to the possibilities of truly intercultural discourse. Her current research focuses on the integration of missiology and ecotheology with a specific focus on climate change. Carmen is currently a resident of Washington State, and cross-border commute - exercising her indigenous right to make the border irrelevant.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[On Sunday, January 29, 2017, we welcomed Amal Rana as our guest speaker: Queer Muslim Poet, Educator, Facilitator and Writer. Amal&acirc;s work explores the often-contradictory spaces between the sacred and profane as sites of both trauma and resilience. In a time when even exhaling while being Muslim is considered a crime, she conjures poetry as an act of sedition and collective love. Amal is a co-founder of Breaking the Fast, an annual arts showcase and blog centering the voices of queer and trans Muslims and Muslim women. She has been involved in anti-oppressive, interfaith organizing for years. More about Amal at rosewaterpoet.com

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Rhian serves as the Minister at Trinity United Church, which is located at the Heartwood Cafe. A recent graduate of the Vancouver School of Theology, her focus is on new expressions of church. 

She is passionate about the link between spirituality and shaping the culture and planet to be a more just and loving place. A life-long seeker, she likes to draw on the wisdom teachings of Christianity, the transformative power of the story of Jesus and the inclusive message of radical justice that is in the Bible. 

Rhian is the mother of two and a singer of jazz and downtempo electronica. She can be found at the cafe on Tuesdays and Thursdays, maximizing her daily caffeine intake, and loves to explore any topic. Email her at rhian.walker (at) gmail.com]]></content:encoded>
