Rendez-vous 2020
Rendez-vous 2020 is going ahead in August 2020 – just in a different way. Due to the ongoing health crisis, we will not be able to hold a large gathering in Calgary. Rendez-vous brings together youth (entering grade 9 and up to any age), young adults, and their leaders from across the church. Through real-time online events, recordings, and DIY workshop kits, we will celebrate bold faith, brave space, and brazen grace. Click here for more information.
United Church Bookstore
As alert levels start to change and more and more businesses start to open, please be assured that our United Church bookstore is here and ready to help. Once we reach alert level 2 and churches are permitted open their doors, supplies will be needed. Reach out to Leona Laundry at the bookstore and she will assist you with your needs. Let us remember to support local. As churches have been closed since March, our bookstore has been closed as well. Contact Leona at 1-800-268-3781 ext. 6141 or llaundry@united-church.ca
