Take a Faithful Pause:
an invitation to step out of the rush and into a moment of quiet reflection. Short, heartfelt moments of faith, hope, and community from Parkdale United Church. No fancy production, no complicated theology. Just little spiritual coffee breaks. ☕

Congregational Meetings June 28 and July 5
A congregational meeting will be held following worship on June 28, 2026, in Tape Hall to receive and approve the report regarding a half-time Pastoral Care Minister position.
As a slight change to last week’s announcement, the congregation is also called to participate in a separate meeting after worship on July 5th, 2026 to consider requesting that EOORC declare Parkdale UC to be a Supervised Ministry Education site with a position for a half-time Candidate (student minister) beginning in the fall of 2026.
We are hopeful that as many of you as possible will stay and join us for both of these important conversations about our future ministry.
Kids’ Club:
is a time for young families. Our next meeting is Saturday June 27, 5:00-7:00 PM. We begin with a short worship in the chapel, followed by a simple craft and fellowship over supper.
