First United is facing challenges with both financial and human resources to carry out the ministries that matter to us as a congregation. Although we are in a very good location, our building requires considerable attention for both short and long term maintenance.

Our Board has had two meetings with Kindred Works to explore possibilities for our property. Click below to read more.

For the next few Sundays we will have the opportunity to receive our Sunday message from guest ministers. 

Our new minister Rev. Hoeun Lee will join us in July but will be taking the first three Sundays as vacation as the family moves from Saskatchewan and settles in this new community.  It is a very common practice for ministers to take vacation at the start of a new call, particularly when they are moving a distance to their new church home.

Join the Grand Philharmonic Choirs (adult, children and youth) and K-W Symphony for the premiere of Water:

An Environmental Oratorio by composer Stephanie Martin, Sunday May 28, 3 p.m. at Centre In The Square, Kitchener.

Water is the source of all life. This beautiful composition tells the story of a community struggling with a difficult decision -- whether to protect this precious resource, or whether to allow a new development that would bring in jobs?

Tickets for this family-friendly concert range from $40 to $10 (children's price). For details and tickets, visit www.grandphilchoir.com or call 519-578-1570 for the box office.

My Name is Lucy Barton by  Elizabeth Strout

Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy’s childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy’s life.
