We want to share God’s love with our community. Every community has a for sharing love and support. Concerns may be different from one community and from one time period to another, but we all need love and support from time to time.
Here at PSUC we offer friendship, our love of God, and a safe opportunity to meet, worship and visit with our neighbours. Please join us at one of our special events, or at a weekly service.
AND – did you know – we offer child minding during Sunday services. Bring the kiddies – they will be in good hands.

Gifts for Mission & Services
The United Church of Canada supports ministries across Canada and around the world through Gifts with Vision. These outreach initiatives include peace and justice work undertaken with global partners, funding for seven theological schools and three education centres that educate and equip future church leaders.
Mission and Service provides clean water, food, shelter, medical aid, community of faith support, refugee programs, and emergency aid, both in Canada and globally.
What is Gifts with Vision?
The United Church of Canada created Mission and Services as a response to member requests to be able to give gifts to relatives, friends, and loved ones who prefer not to receive tangible objects. This lets members, and others, a way to directly support Mission & Service partners while letting their loved know they are being remembered. As society changes, so do the types of services offered change. Visit the United Church of Canada website to select the type of gift you want to give.
