Other Activities
We offer a variety of social, spiritual, and educational activities at times other than Sunday mornings, from book discussions to dances to Earth-based ceremonies. Upcoming programs and events are shared via email, Facebook, and Instagram.
Peace & Justice Vespers
October 23 at 8 pm
Saskatoon Unitarians Centre
213 2nd Street East
Join us in a contemplative evening of reflection on the theme of peace and justice. We will sing simple, meditative songs, moving from peace within to peace in the world. All are welcome.
Samhain: Remembering and Honouring our Departed Loved Ones
October 31 at 7 pm
Saskatoon Unitarians Centre
213 2nd Street East
The ancient festival known as Samhain is a time when communities come together to honour their ancestors and reflect on the cycles of life and death. It marks the end of the light half of the Celtic year and the beginning of the dark half. It is also about the balance between endings and beginnings–saying good-bye to loved ones and saying hello to a changed life without them.
All are invited to this gathering, led by the Earth-Based Spirituality Team of the Saskatoon Unitarians. You are welcome to bring photos of your loved ones to place on the altar.
Circle of Song
If you’d like to experience the joy of singing with others and learn some uplifting, beautiful songs, our singing group is for you. No singing experience or musical training is required.
We meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm at the Unitarian Centre (with a short break for homemade ginger tea with honey!). We occasionally sing in Sunday services or other Unitarian events (e.g., Winter Solstice celebration). Regular attendance will enrich your experience, but if you can’t come to every session, that’s okay. New singers are welcome throughout the year. Please send a message to Kathryn via our office for more information.
Drumming Circle
On the first Wednesday of the month from October to May, you are welcome to join our drum circle in the sanctuary from from 7:00 to 8:15 pm, for a fun, relaxing and uplifting time. Drumming is very healthy and a great way to exercise both sides of the brain at the same time. No experience is needed. If you have a hand drum, please bring it, but if you don’t, no worries, we have lots of percussion instruments for you to try.
Registration is not mandatory but it helps to set up the circle ahead of time if we know how many to expect. Please send a message to Julie via our office if you’re coming or have questions.
Children and Youth
We welcome children of all ages but we are in the process of rebuilding our children and youth program and for now are not offering any separate activities for them. On Sundays, they are encouraged to hang out with their parents or caregivers or at the table with art supplies and other activities at the back of the hall.
In the past, we have offered all kinds of programming and events for children and youth, and we are looking forward to doing so again. Click here for more information and if you would like to get involved and help rebuild the program, please let us know!
