Moderator's PIE Day Message 2026

Every year on March 14th The United Church of Canada celebrates National Affirming PIE Day. Last year, we celebrated the music that moves us. This year, for PIE Day 2026, we are broadening our horizons to celebrate every kind of creator—woodcutters, crocheters, gardeners, and bakers—who help weave connections in our communities. 

Why PIE Day matters right now: With 2S and LGBTQIA+ rights under threat, living into our faith means more than just words. It means: 

• Deep Spirituality: Recognizing Christ as the bread of life who feeds us.
• Daring Justice: Showing up at Pride rallies and standing against hate.
• Bold Discipleship: Creating spaces where everyone truly belongs. 

Get involved! Visit the National Affirming/PIE Day website to explore PIE Day resources and find affirming initiatives across the country.
