Message from Rev. Irene Ty: 

10am June 15th: Trinity Sunday and Indigenous Day of Prayer:

We come together to honour and appreciate the rich heritage, wisdom and spirituality of the Indigenous Peoples who have been the stewards of this land since time immemorial. We will learn about the role of the Indigenous churches in the United Church of Canada. The Indigenous Day of Prayer is a time for prayer, reflection, and learning. We will open the service with the Prayer of Four Directions. For my sermon: "All My Relations", I will be reflecting on how we are all interconnected.


Please join us for our Father's Day Ice Cream Fellowship following the service

On the front lawn (weather permitting). A great way to celebrate this special Father's Day and the start to the summer as we enjoy the outdoors.

Sunday, June 8th 2025 Joint UCC Centennial Celebration

9 Churches Participating: Applewood, Christ-First, Eden, Erin Mills, Erindale, Mississauga-Chinese, St. Stephen's on-the-hill, Streetsville. Thank you to all from Westminster who helped to make this happen: the choir, liturgical dancers, cupcake providers, ushers and all who attended. Evelyn Butler, Walter Reid and myself were part of the planning team from WUC. The service was a great success attended by 500 people and by 140 people online. The anthem "The Spirit's Comin" from the over 100 people mass choir was amazing! Phylis and Basil Daley, Ken Lang, Sandra Pisani, John and Christine MacDougall from WUC participated.



FROM YOUR FRIENDLY GREEN TEAM

We would like to encourage you to take time check out the Native Gardens at WUC. Some of the plants are flowering and are beautiful! The garden in the ditch at the south side of the parking lot is really thriving. Enjoy the beauty and thank God for creating the pollinators who need these plants. They play such an important role in the survival of other parts of the natural growth and the development of our food sources.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We acknowledge that the land on which Westminster United Church stands has been inhabited by the residents of Turtle Island for thousands of years. This land is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the New Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Neutral, the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations people. We also acknowledge that Mississauga is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. Westminster is committed to the ongoing work of reconciliation as we learn about the effects of colonialism and seek to heal relations with Indigenous people.
