Our Words of Faith

A Time of Re-Discovery

A Time of Decision

The United Church of Canada has asked its congregations to consider the words we use to describe the faith.  In the Spring our church will be asked to offer its opinion as to which words should be included in our official statement, “The Basis of Union”.  Should we continue to use only the words of the Basis of Union, written to facilitate union in 1925?  Or should we include the subsequently developed statements, like “The New Creed”, and “The Song of Faith”.  If you are interested in reviewing this study document and the three statements under discussion, you are welcome to take a booklet from the credenza in the office hallway, or request one from our office.   Our Congregation and Council will discuss and vote on a “remit” in the new year.
