Epiphany Explorations 2012, held Jan 19-23
More than 650 full and part-time registrants had a stimulating, music-filled conference experience during the past week. Snow during the early part of the conference did not dampen the enthusiasm of conference delegates, volunteers and staff. Pictures and other information about the conference will soon be up on the Epiphany Explorations page, as well as a peek at the exciting list of speakers coming to the 2013 conference.

Spiritual Guidance
Share your soul’s journey with someone who has travelled a similar road and who has been trained to listen with compassion. Linda Mulhall, MEd, a member of the First†Met congregation, has a private practice offering spiritual guidance.
Share Your Gifts
First†Met is a large, active community that reflects its calling to love, honour, worship and serve God through programs that reach inward to foster spiritual growth and outward to help meet the needs of our neighbours and others in the world beyond. Your support allows us to maintain the array of programs we presently offer, add new programs to serve emerging needs, and update our church facility. See our Special Gifts brochure (PDF/2pp/400 KB) for more information.
Share your talents with members of our congregation and the broader community by volunteering with one of our many programs.
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. Two prominent features of our 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.
