The Unitarian Church of Edmonton is a liberal, multi-generational, religious community. We celebrate a rich mosaic of free-thinking, spiritually-questing individuals joined in common support and action. We welcome diversity including diversity of beliefs from divine believers to humanists, from pagans to atheists and agnostics. We believe in the compassion of the human heart, the warmth of community, the pursuit of justice and the search of meaning in our lives.
We gather with gratitude on traditional Cree lands that are now a part of Treaty Six and shared by many nations. A treaty is an inheritance, a responsibility and a relationship. May we be good neighbours to one another, good stewards to our planet and good ancestors to our children.
This Thanksgiving weekend, we’ll reflect on the people and connections that carry us through life’s joys and challenges. The Pastoral Care Committee will explore the many ways we care for one another when life is difficult as well as the simple ongoing relationships that make us feel that we belong. We also have the pleasure of welcoming Joseph Chambrinho who will once again grace us with his beautiful tenor voice. Service leader - Gloria Krenbrenk
