Spiritual Reflections: Every Wednesday morning, a member of the clergy (and occasionally a lay person) produces a Spiritual Reflection which is posted on the Facebook page for UCFD which can be found by clicking here.

Worship Projects: UCFD has a non-Sunday worship activity. play.pray@church is held on the first Saturday of the month. It is an all-ages informal interactive worship experience from 4pm-6pm. People of all ages are invited to gather to explore the theme of the day with creative arts, activities and thought-provoking conversation that leads to an informal and interactive worship time. Fellowship continues as we conclude our time together by sharing a provided meal. The location varies. A video about play.pray@church can be found by clicking here. If you would like to be involved in planning, help at a session, or have any questions, please contact Cindy at Cindy.Penney@dal.ca or Vicki at vicki@windymanor.ca We would like to thank Bermuda and Nova Scotia Region for their financial support.

Study Groups: Besides the studies that individuals churches do that are open to all United Churches in Dartmouth. During at least Lent and Advent period, a minister or lay person from one church will host a study designed to be open to all. Inspired by a presentation at our Region meeting, this fall Theological Banquet will be offered.

Faith is a gift of God which allows Christ's life to flow through us, shaping our lives in the spirit of love. The apostle Paul taught that when the Spirit lit the flame of faith in the hearts of the disciples at Pentecost, that faith took not one form, but many. The Spirit's diversity of gifts means that for some, faith takes the shape of a messenger of the gospel, for others, it takes the form of Christian community, or service to those in need, others express their faith by resisting injustice, or by seeking wisdom.  In whatever shape, faith is a divine gift which inspires acts of love, compassion and hope. 

 Two opportunities to explore how you express YOUR faith, are available:

• Wednesdays at 10:30 am (October 1, 8, 15 & November 5, 12) at St. James United Church Hall  (183 Portland Street) - please e-mail reverendcatherinemacdonald@gmail.com

• Wednesdays at 7:00 pm (October 8-November 5) at Port Wallis United Church (263 Waverley Road) - please email ross.bartlett@astheology.ns.ca to sign up

 Please consult the calendar for other studies that are being offered.
