Who we are
We are a community-based church focused on helping to make the world a better, happier place. Some of the activities that we are passionate about include volunteering with the Interchurch Refugee Group, Gloucester Emergency Food Bank, Pastoral Care for shut-ins and monthly communion services at the Beacon Heights Residence. Generosity, compassion and gratitude come together to create a meaningful faith community.

Soil and Seed Project
If you have driven by church lately, you will notice a large pile of top soil. Rothwell is hosting a Soil and Seed project for the Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard and Just Food. Clients are being invited to come and get soil, seedlings to take home and grow in their home garden. Thanks to Dick Ballhorn for moving the plants inside so they were protected from frost.

Kamloops Residential School: A Time for Mourning and Support
This message comes from Indigenous Ministries and Justice at The United Church of Canada:
As news came on May 28, 2021, that the remains of 215 children were found in a mass unmarked grave on the grounds of the former Kamloops Residential School, we entered into a time of mourning for these relatives, their families, and their communities... Indigenous Ministries asks all of the church to continue in this time of mourning and of support for each other as we grieve this loss, and others that we do not yet know.
