Sunday Services

Our Services are held each Sunday at 10:30am (September through June) in our Sanctuary. We take a summer break during July, August, and the first Sunday of September. Here’s what’s coming up soon:

6pm Tues. December 24th

“Christmas Eve Service”
with Rebecca Lindley

Join us for a warm, inspiring one-hour service centred on the universal message of Christmas Eve that will leave you energized for Christmas Day celebrations! (We will provide light food and drink after this service).

10:30am December 29th

“Potluck Brunch”

Bring a dish to share with your NSU friends.  There will be no service — just a lovely opportunity to share food and fellowship following the Christmas rush.

10:30am January 5th

“Beginnings”
with Bruce Grierson

"Hard reboot!" On the first Sunday of the New Year, with regrets and resolutions swirling around in our noggins, Bruce offers one ritual, one pledge, and one reveal.

10:30am January 12th

“The Shape of Our Stories — Canadian U(U) History Version”
with Rev. Anne Barker

What does our Canadian Unitarian (and Universalist) history tell us about our future? In what ways are we defined by events that we weren’t actually present for? As we make decisions about vision and direction, how important is the way we tell the stories of our past?

About our guest speaker:

Reverend Anne Barker is the Congregational Life, Lead for BC & Western Regions. Anne has been a UU since 1998, when her kids signed up - on their first visit - to be in the Unitarian Congregation of Saskatoon Christmas Pageant. She became a Unitarian Universalist Minister in 2008. After 14 years of parish ministry in Edmonton, Anne and her wife returned to Saskatoon in 2022 to be near loved ones. They enjoy every chance they get to spend time with their friends and family (both birth and chosen), especially the kids, grandkids, and grandpets who bring such joy into their lives. Anne joined the Canadian Unitarian Council staff team in May 2023 and delights in working with Canadian congregations – and the people who love them.

december’s Outreach:

What is Outreach?

Each month, we collect funds for a different non-profit organization whose mission is in line with our values. We call this “Outreach”. 100% of our Sunday morning collection plate (unless otherwise marked) is donated to the charity featured that month.

During December, our Outreach Recipient is Lookout Housing and Health Society. Lookout provides emergency shelter, transitional housing, and a variety of supportive programs to adults with low or no income on the North Shore.
