It was a lovely joint service with lots of fabulous music!

“Come Build a Church” was a beautiful anthem shared today by a choir of South Arm United Church and Gilmore Park singers. Just one of the many musical gifts offered on this Music Sunday. Huge thanks to our two amazing music directors Tyler (SAUC) and Eshantha (GPUC). 🎶🎵

May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia. Join us today in support of the non-negotiable truth of every person’s dignity.

Creator, we come to you with both the joys and the sorrows of our hearts.
We are grateful for the gift of life and the joy that it can bring.
For families and friends who love us.
For allies who stick up for us, even when we cannot risk sticking up for ourselves.
For the great diversity you have created in our world.
We pray for those who suffer from discrimination because of their gender identity or sexual orientation.
Who worry about their employment or who cannot find a job.
For those who must hide who they are to find housing.
For those who are not safe on our streets.
For those who do not feel safe in their place of worship.
Help us to end homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia, and all forms of discrimination and hate.
Show us the way to make this world a better place for all.

Every year on May 17, communities worldwide mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia.

The day is especially meaningful at a time when 2S and LGBTQIA+ communities—in Canada and globally—continue to face rising hostility, misinformation, violence, and exclusion.

While Canada has made important strides in human rights protections, many people still experience rejection within families, schools, workplaces, faith spaces, and communities.

Across the United Church, many communities of faith are living out the commitment to faithful solidarity in meaningful and courageous ways.

Knox United Church in Calgary takes a radical, public stand for inclusion, proudly stand against homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. The congregation’s ministry is grounded in the call to be a safe, inclusive, and welcoming place for all, inviting and encouraging everyone's full participation in their ministry and community.
