What We Believe
United Church faith communities welcome people from all backgrounds and orientations.
Stewardship & Gifts
Generosity is our response to God’s call to be compassionate disciples. Together, the people of the United Church live out Jesus’ vision and values by caring for each other and the world. Each and every day, we join God’s life-changing mission to make ourselves, our community and our world more peaceful, just and loving for everyone. “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10b)

Hamilton heritage building to transform to serve a modern purpose

A new life is envisioned for a heritage building in Hamilton whose facade is as familiar to residents as a Tiger-Cats logo.The New Vision United Church — you know, the big, red-brick church at the c...This content isn't available right now
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.So I’m frustrated today ! Venting here and perhaps others may share this with me .
So we opened to live worship inside the church . All went well with those who attended as we followed all the Covid protocols as set out by the health region and our own church policy .
We have been live streaming since March and that had been going well . I have known things may be different once we enter into the sanctuary and live streamed at the same time . We don’t have the proper hardware technology set up yet and are relying on smart phones to connect to the streaming service .
Last week and again this week people have complained about the sound in the live stream. Meaning they can’t hear it clearly . Partly because it’s echoey in the church and partly because of my wearing a mask as instructed by Halton Heath.
What is the remedy ? Don’t wear the mask while preaching ? Plexus glass shield , so people can read lips and it’s not as muffled .
Here is my beef. I’ve asked worship leaders of neighbouring non united churches and I’ve viewed other churches in my community online . NONE of them are wearing masks . Not the minister and not any other band worship leaders , plus they are singing too . Grrr .
I felt like the streaming was going well but now that we are im person it isn’t and I’m afraid we may loose people .
Any one else encountered this ?
