Kitchen conversations
Join us this Lent for Kitchen Conversations with the Moderator of the United Church of Canada, a six-part video series exploring faith, food, and the power of invitation, hosted by The Right Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath.
Drawing inspiration and recipes from the United Church’s Lenten devotional, Bless Break Share: Recipes for Faithful Living, we’re getting in the kitchen with guests from across the church, including book contributors, United Church youth, and the Moderator’s own family.
Starting Shrove Tuesday, we’ll be breaking bread at a church each week throughout Lent, reflecting on how food can nourish both body and soul, and how in joining around the table, we connect to something deeper than ourselves.

Plymouth-Trinity welcomes Swahili speakers
The community of faith of Plymouth-Trinity United Church opens doors and hearts wide to the Swahili-speaking community!
The reverends Emmanuel Tehindrazanarivelo and Samuel V Dansokho first convened a meeting of Sherbrooke's Working Group of French-speaking and Swahili-speaking Ministries in 2025 at Plymouth-Trinity. Since then, much has happened.
As written in the French-language Infolettre of the United Church of Canada: “Célébrons ensemble l'émergence de ce nouveau ministère en notre sein et prions pour tous les membres de ce groupe.”
Rev Peter Buhendwa was hired to lead this new pilot ministry, with an office in the Plymouth-Trinity church building.
And he got to work right away. Some of his accomplishments include beginning to translate some of the foundational faith documents of the United Church, such as the New Creed, and coordinating the first Refugee Sunday in Sherbrooke, which featured a worship service, panel discussions, and fabulous food.
Rev Buhendwa has also created a summer soccer league for youths and children, and shepherded the first family Bible camp last August.
And there’s more to come!

United in learning
Do you enjoy learning? Discovering new things? Or perhaps you’re feeling a bit tired? And you need something new? Here’s an option:
“United-in-Learning offers a variety of distance education opportunities for church leaders. Whether you're clergy or lay, whether you have years of experience under your belt, or you've just joined your first committee, we have ways to connect you with like-minded people across the country to help make your church more vibrant, exciting, and alive.”
You can find United-in-Learning here.
“Most of our programs use computer and telephone to connect people across the miles. It's a way to break down isolation in ministry, and share best practices from one end of the country to another. For most programs, all you'll need is a computer with Internet access, and a telephone.”
Call for nominations
The General Council Nominations Committee has launched a call for nominations for several vacancies.
People across the church are invited to express their interest, or nominate others who have the gifts to serve well in these leadership roles. The Nominations Committee welcomes hearing from anyone, and particularly encourages those from groups which have been traditionally marginalized in our church, including (but not limited to) youth and young adults, Indigenous and racialized members, those active in francophone ministry, and people who identify as disabled.
You can find United Church job and volunteer opportunities here. Check back regularly!
Items and belongings
In order to reduce clutter and confusion in the building and to ensure your belongings are returned to you (or at least are safe) please label all items you bring to church.
Lost and found: Have you misplaced something in the church? A Lost & Found box can be found in the church hall, right next to the elevator.
