At Canadian Memorial United Church, our rich history spans 96 years of dedication to our community, and we are honoured to continue this legacy of service and remembrance. This year, we invite you to join us on Sunday, November 10, 2024, at 10:30 AM (PST) for a special Remembrance Sunday worship service.

As we honour those who have served and sacrificed, this year's service will feature Rev. Jeff Rock as the preacher, offering reflections on the importance of remembrance and the ongoing pursuit of peace. During the service, we will read names from our historic Books of Remembrance and share stories of soldiers from the World Wars, preserving the legacy of those who fought for freedom.

Join us for this special observance, won't you?

For those unable to attend in person, the service will be live-streamed at 10:30 AM (PST) and will remain available for viewing on our YouTube channel. We encourage you to take part in this meaningful occasion, wherever you are.

Join us in person or through to the live stream of Remembrance Sunday 2024.

BOOKS OF REMEMBRANCE
Every year, the Books of Remembrance are open for public display. This year, the books will be open from 11:45 am to 12:45 pm in our sanctuary (see pictures). These treasured books are a testament to the sacrifices made and serve as a solemn reminder of our commitment to peace.

REMEMBRANCE CONCERT

Join us for The Book of Remembrance: Lest We Forget, a special Remembrance Day Concert featuring the Band of the 15th Field Regiment (also known as the Bessborough Armoury Band) on Saturday, November 9th at 7:30 PM in the Sanctuary of Canadian Memorial United Church.

This moving evening of music will honour the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families. The Band of the 15th Field Regiment will perform a stirring selection of pieces, reflecting on themes of courage, service, and remembrance. The evening will also feature our Music Ministry, with Bruce McKenzie on the organ and performances of classic wartime songs by Sabrielle and Lindsay.

EMBRACING THE NEXT CHAPTER
As we reflect on our 96 years of service, we also embrace the next chapter with hope, continuing to foster a welcoming, inclusive community rooted in compassion, justice, and remembrance.

We look forward to commemorating this special day with you.
