With a message of the meaning of Shrove Tuesday a good number partook in the wonderful spread of pancakes, sausages and toppings Sunday morning. The syrups, whipped cream and fruit blends kept us coming back for more. As did, the delicious quiche, muffins and mini cakes. A feast truly enjoyed with our family and friends as we reflect on the purpose of Shrove Tuesday.
Thank you to all who contributed to the success of this event.
The Season of Lent is upon us. During this season at Sicamous United Church, as we strive to be closer to God and learn to resemble Jesus more, we will learn about the Gospel of Mark and study the message of the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Blessed be our Lenten journeys…
We will have an in-person Christmas Eve service on Saturday, December 24th at 7 pm. We will sing a lot of carols and listen to the story of the first Christmas. Children and families are welcome.
There will be no service on Christmas day.
We wish everyone a Blessed Christmas!
Do you read the Bible? Are you familiar with the biblical books and the messages they teach? Starting from July 10th, 2022, we are starting mini biblical lessons during the story time. We begin with the beginning of the Old Testament. Extra! Extra! Learn all about it!
