In-person worships cancelled for Sunday, January 25th 2026 in Schomberg and Nobleton United Church.

After checking with a number of the folks from both Nobleton and Schomberg about travel in the expected snow storm today, we have decided to not gather in the sanctuary for worship.

We will have a live service on the internet, and everyone is invited to join us. As we are combining both Nobleton and Schomberg for this time online, we will begin the live service at 10:00 am. If you join us late, you can still watch the service, it will be ready to view as soon as we start going and you won't miss a thing.

You can join our service here:

Hope to see you all.

If you know of anyone who does not receive emails (or doesn't check them regularly) please let them know we will not be at the church this morning.

Grace and peace,
Rev. Richard Gardner
