"Sing out, Louise!!"
That's a famous line from one of Sondheim's best-known musicals, "Gypsy" as Mama Rose encourages her daughter during an audition. Well, we're not auditioning, and we're not pitching our songs to the show's producer -- or, maybe in a way, we are! This Sunday is "Fifth Sunday Music Sunday, and it's devoted to raising our voices in song and our hearts in worship! We've got some great music planned with songs by the choir, musical 'guests,' and others, Join us, won't you, at 10:30 in person at EASTMINSTER or online.

Thank You for Contributing to the Nourish East End Covenant Service
On Sunday April 23rd, East End United Regional Ministry marked the creation of a covenant with its Nourish East End program, which creates the structures and support that will guide the program’s future. Nourish East End is one of several East End United programs that express our vision of radical hospitality. On Sunday, we dreamed a vision of what the welcoming banquet of Christ might be and enjoyed a literal banquet! We are grateful to the many individuals who made this day possible.

East End on Two Wheels East End is a cycling group composed of cycling lovers who crave fresh air, want to keep in shape by biking and enjoy making friendships with people from our church and wider community. The group goes cycling on various scenic trails around the city every Thursday morning (rain date Friday). We typically have 8 – 12 cyclists on our outings and trips are chosen where the elevation climbs are minimal.
Contact Michael Schneider at michael.schneider943@gmail.com or Earl Groenewegen at equalityconstruction@sympatico.ca if you would like to know about our upcoming events.

Share the Care for an Hour
Be the face of East End United when people gather for food at Nourish. Join one of our current "sidewalk presence" ministers for an hour to meet and greet those who come to either of our food ministry programs. Receive a warm welcome from clients and volunteers while you get an up-close perspective on this part of our congregational life. Tell someone else about your experience later to spread awareness of a pressing social issue.
Wednesdays at 9:05 - 10 a.m., with Robin Wardlaw at the Glen Rhodes Campus
Only one volunteer per site per week, thank you!
