Support Camp Pringle and help the Environment

Camp Pringle is partnering with Steel Pacific Recycling to recycle unwanted scraps of metal.  We can take any types of metal (steel, aluminum, copper etc) found, for example, in old car parts, chains, lawn mowers, wheel rims, household appliances, BBQs, doors, steel tubing, plumbing, bikes, file cabinets, steel desks or fences. Camp Pringle is running the scrap metal drive for July and August 2010 during which time Steel Pacific will pay the camp higher than market rates. For more details, to coordinate a drop off or to arrange a pick-up please contact Dave Nicolson at 250-857-0444 or d.nic@telus.net

Children and Youth Ministry at First†Met

Summer Bible Day Camp

We believe that children and youth are part of the body of Christ – a community in relationship with God through the gift of Jesus Christ, a community in which all members are valued and contribute to the whole.

For a summary of youth-focused worship events, programs for children and parents, youth, and young adults including leadership training opportunites, see our Children and Youth Ministry page.

Liturgical Colours

 

Green, seen everywhere in plants and trees, symbolizes life and hope and is used from early June through until Advent (end of November).

It is through the contributions of you, our members, adherents and friends that we can live out that calling.

About the First†Met Website

The First†Metropolitan United Church website is built on a WordPress platform, an open-source publishing and content management system. Using an automated system such as this means we can easily update and revise content. Because WordPress is supported by a committed community of volunteer developers our web publishing infrastructure will be up-to-date and we can add new features as soon as they are released.

Two prominent features of our new site (apart from the fresh design) are an events calendar and the use of subject tags such as “Weddings” or “Youth Ministry” for content elements. Subject tags enable us to to link related content regardless of where it may be on the site.
