National Indigenous Peoples Day🪶

06/21/2026

Today, June 21, is National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day to recognize and celebrate Indigenous Peoples across Canada.

You can participate in this special day by attending a local Indigenous celebration, supporting Indigenous businesses and restaurants, reading a book by an Indigenous author, listening to Indigenous music, enjoying Indigenous art at a museum or gallery, donating to our Northern Indigenous Ministers appeal, and so many other ways: http://uccf-northern-ministers-retreat.pllenty.com

In this prayer by Rev. Nancy Best, we are called to love our neighbours and seek out ways to work for reconciliation and justice in our communities:

Tender and loving Creator, we are all part of the delicate web of life. When one thread is plucked, the ripples are widely felt, stronger closer to the epicentre, still felt toward the outer reaches. May the uncertainties and concerns we hold close to our hearts be gentled by the love we have of you, and the support of each other.

You know the longing of our hearts for a just society for all of your beloved children. When we are cut, we bleed the same colour. When we donate blood, it provides the same life-giving sustaining gift with no knowledge of race; it does not exist in that little clear bag. We don’t understand the conflicts and hatred rampant, which aren’t new; have they always existed? We pray for people living in troubled places, for refugees needing homes and relocation, for people without safe drinking water.

Rabboni Jesus, may your teachings lead us all to speak the same language of loving you, ourselves, and our neighbours. Gentle people’s harsh feelings and opinions. Restore our gratitude and refresh our faith. Grant us dreams of unity and harmony. May your light and love encircle and envelope us all as we rest in the promise of your goodness. Living Spirit, we are all relations in your family. We give thanks for our blessings. Amen.

Today we celebrated the 58th Anniversary Sunday at Thamesview United Church. It was a joyful and meaningful service as many voices shared the symbols of our faith and participated in ministry together. Our Confirmation students and members of the Worship Committee served Communion, reminding us that we are all called to serve Christ and one another.

We were also blessed by the gifts of music shared by our choir, soloist, and Sunday School children, who praised God with their voices and enriched our worship. Their offerings of song brought joy, gratitude, and inspiration to our celebration.

Following the service, we enjoyed a wonderful potluck meal and spent time looking through old photographs, sharing memories and celebrating God’s faithfulness throughout the years.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this anniversary celebration such a beautiful and memorable service. 🙏❤️
