United Church of Canada Sunday June 8, 2025 @10:30 special city-wide worship service at Crossroads - guest preacher: Rev. Dr. Anthony Bailey 
- guest organist: Mark Sirett- recording available (click image to left) We gratefully acknowledge the generous support from The United Church of Canada Foundation which has helped bring this celebration to life.  Current Status: However, the project is currently on hold due to a funding issue involving the ability of OLS to cover staffing costs. Until OLS can resolve this issue, transferring the cabins and common module construction are unable to proceed, since staffing is a critical component of the plan. We are now waiting to hear what further steps can be taken in order to make our dream into a reality. Background: At a meeting in early June 2024, the Crossroads congregation voted to begin negotiations to lease a portion of its unpaved back lot to Our Livable Solutions to be used to situate up to 18 cabins. A service module with kitchen, laundry and washroom facilities would be included to form a community called "Crossroads Village". The lease would run for up to 10 years, giving some stability to the project which so far has had to move twice every year.

About the season: Ordinary Time  When: From the Sunday after Pentecost (Pentecost = June 8 in 2025) until the beginning of Advent (Nov 30 in 2025).Colour: GREEN About the Date: "Ordinary" comes from "ordinal" which means "counting" as we count the Sundays to Advent Meaning: As crops slowly grow in the fields, this time between the major holy seasons in the church provides a time in which we can grow our faith, and then turn our focus to the mission of the church in the world. In the United Church of Canada, the part of this season between Labour Day and the first Sunday of Advent has also recently been called the "Season of Creation" as an opportunity to consider our blessings that come from the Earth that we depend on.
