Way back in 2007, Stony Plain church celebrated its 100th year anniversary. Note that this preceded the formation of the United Church. Now we get to celebrate again as the national church recognizes the formation of the United Church of Canada by the union of the Presbyterian, Methodist, Congregational, and the General Council of the Local Union Churches.
National Theme
The theme for the Centennial is Deep, Bold, Daring. One of the first “united” churches in the world, from its formation the United Church has been rooted in
Deep Spirituality
The words of Jesus’ prayer that the disciples be one (John 17:21)
Bold Discipleship
The belief that what unites us is stronger than our differences
Daring Justice
The desire to live out the gospel call to love and justice in Canada and around the world
