On Sunday, May 3, 2026, Glen Morris United Church marked a significant milestone as the congregation voted overwhelmingly – with 88% in favour – to become an Affirming Ministry under the banner of Affirm United. Glen Morris United Church is now the first church in the County of Brant to receive this designation.
Under the guidance of Rev. Michiko Bown-Kai, the church’s Affirming Committee spent more than two years engaging the congregation in thoughtful reflection and discernment about what it means to become a fully welcoming and inclusive faith community. In the closing remarks of the congregational meeting, Rev. Michiko shared:
“This kind of radical welcome and hospitality changes and saves more lives than you can imagine.”
To celebrate this meaningful moment, we warmly invite you to attend our fourth annual Pride Celebration, Worship and Picnic on Sunday, June 7, 2026. Join us for coffee at 10:00am with worship at 10:30am. A picnic of pulled pork on a bun, salads and desserts (gluten free and vegetarian options available) will conclude the celebrations.
Don’t forget to wear your rainbow colours!
