Mount Zion United Church

Mount Zion United Church A community where KINDNESS is the only rule. Mount Zion is a spiritual community that seeks to follow the Jesus way of respect, kindness and fairness.

Our Sunday worship service is at 9:30. Everyone needs a village. People used to grow up with 75 to 150 people who knew them by name. If someone was sick, people would ask about them and some would bring food by the house. Connections for jobs and other helpful information were a natural part of life. Children knew that they had a lot of people looking out for them which made them feel more secure.

It also tended to keep them from getting into trouble because they knew someone would find out :)

Most people don’t have a village anymore. More people live alone than with a partner. Children are lucky if they have 3 or 4 adults in their lives on a regular basis. This is why rates of depression are skyrocketing. The latest figures indicate that 50% of Canadian children will be diagnosed with a mood disorder (depression/anxiety) by the time they are 25 yrs of age! Contrast that with the low rates of depression found in countries where most people still have a village and attend a church, synagogue or mosque. Scientific studies in Canada and the US indicate that, on average, being a part of an ongoing, positive spiritual community results in longer life, quicker recovery from operations and sickness and fewer expressions of mental illness. This is why we are excited about creating an inclusive, caring village: a place where we are safe to explore our spirituality without people judging us and telling us what to believe: an opportunity worship and give thanks for our blessings as we remember the good news that love wins in the end: an experience of the Magic of Life and Love that we call God: a community of friends who support one another and help the wider community. If these are your values and you don’t have a village that you are a part of, we invite you to help us grow the Mt. Zion village. Your presence will strengthen us and we can inspire one another to be the best we can be as we bless each other. If you would like to talk things over with our minister Rev. Charmain, her number is 519-808-1777.

Blessing the water, seeds, soil and tools that support this season of growth.

And images from creation that illustrate the notion that with faith, everything is figure-out-able.

A single spear of asparagus growing from the ashes of a barn fire ... survival.

Mushrooms growing from the decomposing roots of a beloved maple tree that lives on as a tree stump garden ... resurrection.

Lilacs turning a new household into a home ... transplanting.

Today, we pause to remember the lives of Salman Afzaal, Madiha Salman, Yumna Afzaal, and Talat Afzaal, whose lives were taken in an act of hatred on June 6, 2021.
As a community of faith, we join with our Muslim neighbours, friends, and families in remembrance, mourning, and hope. The attack on the Afzaal family was not only an attack on one family; it was an attack on the values of dignity, belonging, and mutual respect that bind our community together.

Five years later, we reaffirm our commitment to standing against Islamophobia, racism, and all forms of hatred. Our faith calls us to love our neighbours, seek justice, and work for peace. We recognize that solidarity is more than words—it requires listening, learning, building relationships, and speaking out whenever prejudice and discrimination arise.

Today, we honour the memory of the Afzaal family by renewing our commitment to creating a community where every person is valued, welcomed, and safe. We pray for healing for all who continue to grieve, for courage to confront hatred in all its forms, and for the strength to be instruments of God's peace.

May the memory of the Afzaal family be a blessing. May their legacy inspire us to build bridges of understanding and compassion. And may we continue, together, to work toward a future where love is stronger than fear and where every person can live in dignity and peace.
