Welcome!
The Church Office is open once again, Tuesday-Fridays 9:30am-1:30pm. Please wear a mask when you come. There is a sign in sheet by the door and sanitizer as you enter.
We have returned to in person worship! Service will be at 10:30am. At this point, wearing a mask is mandatory from the Health Unit and the Province. We will continue to screen at the door and social distance inside. Please call the office to register - 519-524-2103. You can also use this link to register online; https://rsvp.church/r/uX29gxP3
As we continue to pivot and adjust to the changing COVID 19 landscape, we continue to update our policies to maintain safety for our gatherings. Many have shared a strong desire to require all in attendance to be fully vaccinated (children under 12 exempted, and are always welcome), for our worship service in order to continue to gather safely through the winter months. After prayerful deliberation, the Lakeshore UCC Council has decided beginning December 19th (and including Christmas Eve), that those choosing to attend worship in person must be fully vaccinated. You will be asked at the door as part of our screening.
We acknowledge that this is an uncomfortable decision, and trust in God's grace and mercy as we strive to be faithful witnesses and followers of Jesus.
Our livestream of the service will continues, as well as the Television broadcast on Sundays at 1pm on Eastlink and Hurontel cable stations.
If you are feeling unwell, please stay home and engage with the service on the Television broadcast, Livestream, or previously recorded services.
Our pastoral care committee is available, as is our minister. If you need to talk to someone, please feel welcome to call our Minister, Kate at 519-670-1535 or connect via email kate@lakeshoreuc.org to arrange a time to speak or meet virtually.

Another way to give...
Loyalty Funding is another way to give that does not take money out of your pocket. Loyalty Funding provides the opportunity to purchase gift cards for stores you use regularly - like the grocery store, gas station and drug store. When you purchase cards, a percentage of each card is donated to the Church.
The first $1000 raised supports our work with FOTOCAN and the Orphanage work they do in Latin and Central America. After that, the funds raised will be contributed to our General Fund to support the ongoing ministry of the congregation. Follow the link to learn more. The more members of the congregation who participate, the more money we raise!

The Welcome Project
Welcome Project Part II is underway!
Ward is here!
Arriving in Toronto on September 17th 2020.
Although the journey to his arrival was long with many disappointments and struggles along the way, we are so delighted to be welcoming this gentle, kind man.
Ward's first year with us is completed and he has relocated to Ottawa where he is working and anticipates attending post secondary.
Peter, Hellen and their family who arrived in February 2016 are settled into life in Stratford, Ontario. All the adults are working and all the children are now in school! Peter says he likes the cold, but I'm not sure the teenagers in the family would agree!
We have been deeply blessed by the way our journeys in life and faith have intersected.
