In From the Cold
starts Saturday, November 14, 2026.
Do we need volunteers? Yes!
(1) Clean-Up Anchors – who clean-up at 6:00 and leave the kitchen & Tape Hall area “spotless”.
(2) When our General Secretary of the United Church of Canada visited us, he spent the entire evening with our In From The Cold guests, and enjoyed a meal at their table. Rev. Bob thought it was a good compassionate thing to do and wonders if this is something that any of our members would be interested in doing. If this is something that would be of interest to you, please get in touch with Rev. Bob
Third Sundays of the month Pizza, Games & Gym!
What better way to spend a Sunday? Whether you prefer a board game in the upper room or a ball game in the gym, young families are welcome to join us from 12:30- 3:00 PM every third Sunday of the month. Bring your favorite board or card game. Nov.15, Dec.20, . Registration is required by Nov. 7. Please email about numbers and food allergies huda@parkdaleunitedchurch.ca.
3 Days Later
On Sundays, we develop a theme in worship grounded in scripture and engaged through a sermon, music, prayer, silence, and contemplation, yet have you ever wanted to talk about it? Join Rev. Bob on Wednesdays from 12 to 1 pm (ish) for conversations that delve a little deeper into the theme from Sunday. Location: Upper Room and online. Join us onsite with your lunch, at your desk, couch, or in the park.
