As part of the Centennial, The United Church of Canada invites you to a special collective listening event on Tuesday, June 10. This unique initiative is an opportunity to simply listen without judgment or advice, fostering genuine connection in our communities.

Ministers are invited to set up a "welcome table" outside their church building on June 10, with a sign inviting people to sit and talk. This dedicated space offers the gift of pure listening.

While you can participate anytime that day, we encourage a synchronized moment of collective listening across Canada:

  • 3:30 pm NT
  • 3:00 pm AT
  • 2:00 pm ET
  • 1:00 pm CT
  • 12:00 pm MT
  • 11:00 am PT

This shared time allows us to experience the power of listening together, knowing we're all engaging in this meaningful act. An alternate time on June 10 is also welcome if preferred.

Join us on June 10 as we celebrate 100 years by opening our hearts and ears to the voices around us. Learn more about the event, and watch, share, and download the video.
