Lakeshore United's Legacy Prize for Youth

To honour the youth in our community, we offered a one-time legacy prize for GDCI high school students in each grade from 7–12 for the 2024–2025 school year. The winning students exemplified kindness, a commitment to social justice, and a desire to do good to all.
Our fundraising goal of $1,500 was met!
Thank you to everyone who donated to these prizes!!
$1,000 was presented to a graduating student at commencement in June, and $100+ was awarded to one student from each grade 7–11 at the principal's breakfast in October, 2025.


Congratulations to the winners!

We celebrated 100 years of the United Church of Canada with games, food, music, and community!
Guests joined us throughout the afternoon:
  • 3:00 pm – Games: Everyone brought their favourites to share
  • 5:00 pm – Potluck Supper, followed by music from the Irish Cowboys
  • Wrap-up by 7:00–7:30 pm
We also created a time capsule filled with reflections, photos representing a snapshot of the world, our own experiences, and our church at that moment in time — along with hopes and dreams for its future.

Our Mission:  "With Christ as our Guide, we are called to be an inclusive, progressive faith family, to worship God, nurture our community and serve the wider world."
Statement of Intention: 
  • We are intent on making Lakeshore United Church a broader reflection of God’s vision for creation, to be a safer haven for all seeking peace, justice, affirmation, acceptance, and equality.
  • We are a people who celebrate differences and accept them as gifts; in a place where new ideas are embraced, rather than feared, as we learn to expand our hearts and open our minds so that all are welcome.
  • We are called to be a part of a ministry that welcomes and includes all, honours the gifts of each, and recognizes that all receive God’s abundant grace.
  • We affirm that this includes full participation of persons of all sexual orientations, gender identities, races, abilities, ages, economic circumstances, ethnic and faith backgrounds in the life and work of the ministry.
  • Jesus reached out to all people, honouring all in their diversity.  We celebrate the richness this brings to Lakeshore United Church.
