On September 27th, Orange Shirt Sunday, we remembered and educated ourselves to honor Indigenous children who were sent to residential schools and engage in the ongoing work of reconciliation. You can watch the service recording using this link. We also had our Annual meeting on this Sunday, led by Rev. Emma Pipes from Kimborune Park UC, who provides amazing support for our administrative matters.

Let Your Light Shine
Hope United’s “Let Your Light Shine”, a Stewardship Campaign with the goal of raising $100,000 to repair, restore and renovate our windows. The restoration and upgrade of our windows is a vital part of the building envelope that will improve our energy efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint. As well, our overall aim is to ensure that our building, and sacred space, are here for our congregation and the many community organizations we serve in the years to come. Our campaign currently sits at $25,000, with a substantial boost in January, 2024 of $20,000 from the Faithful Footprints Program of the United Church of Canada.
WORSHIP
Our regular weekly service is at 11:00 am every Sunday Morning. The accessible entrance with an elevator is at 2550 Danforth Ave. Our hour-long service includes readings, children’s time, music from our choir, an inspiring message, and a coffee hour social time that follows the service. Please join us!
No matter who you are, where you come from, what you have done or left undone, you are welcome to the service!
MUSIC
At Hope United we offer a wide variety of music. Our monthly programs include; Music on a Sunday Afternoon, Praise and Gospel Cafe, and monthly Jazz Vespers.
