September 3 – Kodak Moments – Photography has lost most of its magic since its invention, and the camera of old has been supplanted by the smartphone, but it’s impossible to overstate how the photograph has changed our lives in countless ways. Rev. Stefan Jonasson
Sunday, August 20, at 11:00 a.m. – Our Ground of Being – Paul Tillich defined God as “the ground of being” or “being itself.” Such a philosophical understanding of divinity stands in contrast to the personal God or gods that many believe in. What is it that commands your ultimate commitment in life? Rev. Stefan Jonasson
Services are in the Gimli Unitarian Church's landmark building at 76 Second Avenue, near Centre Street. Dress is casual – after all, it's summer!
Sunday, August 6, at 11:00 a.m. – Restless and Rooted – So often in life we find ourselves torn between two equally compelling desires: to stay put and to venture forth. During COVID, we were forced to stay put! If you’ve travelled this year, you have witnessed a massive outbreak of restlessness! On Icelandic Festival weekend, we’ll honour the restlessness of our ancestors and, at the same time, celebrate the many generations who have called this community home. – Rev. Wayne Arnason and Rev. Kathleen Rolenz

Sunday, July 16, at 11:00 a.m. – Lazy Days of Summer – “Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,” sang Nat King Cole. I’m content just to be lazy. At times, we all need a chance to step back from the busyness of life and simply relax. Rev. Stefan Jonasson

July 2 – Once Upon a Time (and Repeat) – How often have we heard someone say, “That’s just a story?” Yet we humans are, by nature, storytellers. It’s how we roll in the shire. We’ll explore why our everyday stories are so important in our quest for meaning. Rev. Stefan Jonasson
