"Awaken Wonder"
Saturday, January 17th at 5:00pm
Wonder is a feeling of surprised awe. Wonder is also the curiosity to know something. Please join us for our monthly worship service at St.Margaret's Cottage when we will be exploring how we can awaken wonder in our lives. Jessica Motherwell McFarlane and your worship team will explore the different aspects of wonder and experience wonder.
For this service your worship team would love some images of people, places and things that bring you a sense of wonder. Please send your pictures to Cara.

Sharing Our Faith 2026: Orientation Session
Thursday, Jan 15, 2026 – 4:30 pm
Sharing Our Faith is an annual opportunity for Canadian Unitarian Universalists to explore a shared spiritual theme, deepen our connections with one another, and support congregational growth across the country. Each year, the Canadian Unitarian Council offers a worship packet and conversation guide that congregations can use to shape a Sunday service, a discussion group, or a community gathering.
The 2026 theme—Practicing Hope: Facing the Future with Gratitude, Imagination, Courage & Action—was developed collaboratively by more than 50 UUs from across Canada who participated in Canadian UUs Read this fall. Their wisdom, insights, and shared longings helped shape a national conversation about how we live our values in rapidly changing times.
