Worship Service – June 18
Happy Anniversary TMUC!
2023 marks the 70th anniversary of Transcona Memorial United Church.
Since 1953, the building has changed, people have changed, hymn books have changed, the community has changed…
…and TMUC has continued to embody and express and share God’s love in worship and gatherings and providing a welcoming and caring presence in Transcona.
We have been blessed to serve in ministry with TMUC for half of those 70 years. We have been blessed by the faith, the compassion, the creativity, the vision to seek the well-being of the community and the world, the music, the food, the friendships, the laughter, the tears, the joy and journeying together as companions of Jesus the Christ.
We anticipate continuing to share in ministry with you until the end of the month, as well as sharing memories and stories…
And worship!
You are invited to join us for worship this Sunday at 10 a.m. If you cannot be present, you are invited to join in the livestream. Here’s the ZOOM link for TMUC:
