Dear Women of the United Church:
Re: Fall Rally, Saturday September 13, 2025
Please mark your calendars for the 2025 Fall Rally on Saturday, September 13, 2025. Registration 9:30 – 10 AM. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the United Church of Canada and the role that women have played in the church, our theme this year is “Women of the Church” – with guest speaker, Rev Leigh Sinclair from St. David’s United in Leduc.
We will use the same format as in the past – a sing song, worship, business meeting, memorial service, speaker and entertainment. The cost of $10 will pay for the speaker honorarium and any expenses – the balance being donated. Bring a bag lunch. Muffins, coffee, tea and water will be provided.
St. David’s is located at 4614 – 48 St in Leduc. Our church is wheelchair/walker accessible. We will have a pianist and an IT person available. If desired, you can bring a flash drive with your service or program information.
Following the success of last year, we will provide a table for those of you who would like to bring books for a book exchange. Monetary donations will be received and sent to a charity of choice. Any remaining books will be donated.
