Victoria United Church Pastoral Charge

06/08/2026

As we prepare to celebrate the 101st anniversary of The United Church of Canada on June 10, we give thanks for the faith, courage, and vision that have sustained our church through more than a century of ministry.

Reflecting on our past with gratitude, we also look forward with hope, trusting that God continues to lead us into new possibilities.

In a world that is both beautiful and broken, we are called to discern the new things God is doing among us and to embrace a future marked by renewal, compassion, and faithful service to our neighbours and communities.

Union Sunday Prayer

God in whom we live and move and have our being:
From sea to sea to sea we gather in prayer;
from generation to generation we sing;
on this anniversary we give thanks
for your care
guidance
and correction.
In this heritage of trust
we pray for this United Church
and for faithful living on this land,
Our Source of Life, Living Word, and Bonding Love:
Amen.
