We return to worship in person on Sunday September 5th, 10:30am.
If you are comfortable returning to church, please register through the church office 519-524-2103, office@lakeshoreuc.org or by clicking on this link; https://rsvp.church/r/uX29gxP3 If you haven't pre-registered but would like to attend, please join us. We have a large sanctuary and it will likely be some time before we start reaching our space limits. Please enter the church through the South door (by the elevator), or if you are new to the area, the door closest to the Square. At the door we will ask you screening questions, record your contact information in the event of the need for contact tracing. At this time, wearing a mask while in the building is mandatory. An usher will take you to your seat to ensure we are maintaining appropriate physical distancing. When the service is over, we will ask you to leave by the front doors. If you need to use the elevator, please wait until others have left and make your way to that exit. |
Monday September 13, 2021 7pm
Candidate debate ahead of the Federal Election, sponsored by the Huron Chamber of Commerce, Lakeshore United Church, local Realty Association. Check back for more details and registration as numbers will be limited. |
Resources on Privilege, Anti-Racism
This is a time to listen. Listen to the voices of those with lived experience of racism. Listening to their voices so that our actions will be thoughtful, appropriate and helpful. When we are moved, we all have a tendancy to want to rush out an do something. As a congregation of mostly white, middle class people - it is time for us to listen, learn and examine our own privilege.
Here are some resources to do that. We could also meet virtually to do a book study, or do a "watch" party to watch a movie or Ted Talk. If you would be interested, please email me kate@lakeshoreuc.org
The United Church of Canada has resources; https://www.united-church.ca/social-action/justice-initiatives/anti-racism
The United Church also has resources for exploring healing and reconciliation with Indigeneous Communities
