At Thamesview United Church, we believe that every person plays a vital part in the ministry of the Church. Programs for children, as well for all adult stages, are enthusiastically organized and overseen by many volunteers.
Music is very important here at Thamesview United Church. A talented choir, led by an outstanding Director of Music: Rod Culham, sing their praise to God each Sunday, and lead the congregation in hymns. Soloists and instrumentalists are often included in the ministry of music.
Our Kids-view welcomes children of all ages, and teaches them the stories and fundamentals of our faith through hands-on, interactive instruction by caring teachers. A nursery is also available for the smallest of our members. Our CE Committee works with Rev Nancy to provide a wonderful exciting program for children of all ages.
The UCW -United Church Women of Thamesview United Church meet occasionally throughout the year- and all ladies are welcome to attend!
Thamesview-Main Street Foodgrains Growing Projects Since 1986 the former Men's club has had a project to support the Canadian Food Grains Bank. In 1994, Thamesview UC partnered with Mainstreet UC in Mitchell to grow soybeans which are sold with the proceeds going to projects around the world organized by the Foodgrains Bank. We have been richly blessed with many successful growing projects towards the Canadian Food Grains Bank which provides well over a million tonnes of food to the Third World Countries.
