Take Time to Breathe

Norval United's Midweek Breath continues to connect with a lot of people and provide a restful, inspiring break in the middle of the week. We thought it would be a good time to experience a Midweek Breath on a Sunday morning. Join us Sunday as we slow down, calm down, and take time to breathe together.

 Watch Sunday's Service Online, Live @ 9:00 AM EDT

or

 Join us for In-Person Worship @ 10:00 AM

Join us in live, online worship this Sunday at 9:00 am. 

You can find the service on Facebook Live or on our YouTube channel.

The service will be saved at both locations through the week.

Can You Help?

We have signed a contract with Guelph Solar to install solar panels on the church.  Solar energy is better for the environment and it is better for the church bank account. It is estimated we will save up to $10,000 a year in hydro costs.  The panels will cost more than $100,000 for purchase and installation.  Are you able to help with a special donation for this project? Thank you for helping us to care for the environment and reduce our future hydro costs!

Winter 2023 Session

Walking through Grief is an 8 session program where folks meet to share in discussion and support others who are grieving. This program is run by NUC and

Wednesdays 7:00PM - 8:30PM

Starting February 8th

Ladies' Dinner Out

Join us for fun, food and fellowship with other women of the church! We have reservations at Symposium on January 24th at 6PM. Contact Helen McGinn for more information or to RSVP.

Volunteers needed!

For many of us, Norval United Church’s warm welcome is one of the main reasons we came back after our first visit. 

You can help carry on this fine tradition!



Join Jen Stinson and George Smith as we live out our faith in God’s radical hospitality by welcoming all who attend on Sunday.

If you can smile and say “welcome” you are qualified! Volunteer 1, 2 (or more!) Sundays a month on this great team! Or if you prefer short term commitment why not help out during Lent/Easter?

In The Community

Host Family Needed

 The Rotary Club of Georgetown is looking for a person orfamily to host an exchange student for 3 months this coming year. Please contact Christine at

905 703 6239 if you are interested in learning more.

Georgetown Breadbasket

If you are thinking of making a donation to the Georgetown Bread Basket this month, the items in most need are drink boxes for students, individual pudding cups (preferably chocolate); pancake mix; ketchup and sugar. Items can be dropped at the food bank or at the church and they will be delivered for you.

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; speak up on their behalf and give thanks for them.

1 Timothy 2:1

Trudi Watson-Leung asked for prayers for friends whose parents died in recent months and for a friend dealing with an addiction.

David Seunarine asked for prayers for his mom, Cynthia Seunarine, and the family as Cynthia transitions to a memory care facility.

Both Cheryl Mees and Eleanor Dickie suggested prayers for those stuck in Mexico and for the Mexican people.

Marilyn Smith asked for prayers for Marci Stiles because Marci's father-in-law, David, died on Saturday.

Jen Stinson would like prayers for Barb Anderson who had a fall recently and for her grandmother, Marg, that she would know how beloved she is.

Heather Phair offers continuing prayers for Dean McLeod and Patti Moss.
