On June 2 the United Church will be celebrating an official Pride Sunday for the first time in 2019. We encourage you to celebrate the lives and ministry of LGBTQIA+ and Two Spirit people on this day, or any Sunday during pride month.
New worship ideas, prayers, music, and more, are now available to help your community of faith plan your celebration!
Act Now
End the Arrest and Prosecution of Palestinian Children
[Image: No Way to Treat a Child]
Israel has the distinction of being the only country in the world that systematically prosecutes around 700 children each year in military courts lacking fundamental fair trial rights. From the moment of arrest, Palestinian children encounter ill treatment and often even torture at the hands of Israeli forces. Three out of four experience physical violence during arrest or interrogation.
Join us in continuing to call on the federal government to take steps to hold Israeli authorities accountable to their obligations under international law.
