The Worship Committee would like to suggest that the hearing of the prayer requests and the engaging of the whole congregation in the Prayers of the People would be enhanced if the requests were printed in advance on slips of paper and made available to the Minister at the beginning of the service, so they could be read aloud. Such notes could include the name of the person being prayed for, along with a few details, if appropriate. Accordingly, the Worship Committee will provide slips of paper and a prayer basket just inside the Sanctuary's entrance.

King City United Church is south of King Road at Keele Street and one block east to 50 Elizabeth Grove. The morning Service is at 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. The service is followed by tea, coffee, lovely cakes and cookies in the auditorium.
