On Saturday September 6th, all day, James Bay United Church is CELEBRATING!
Our neighbourhood is amazing and we will be having a party celebrating YOU and all the creative ways we find connection and meaning in and around the spaces at 511 and 517 Michigan.
We know that our activities and programs touch so many of you, our neighbours. So we’re having a party and you’re invited.
Food, music, thrifting, children's activities, special presentations and more!

Friday September 5th:
String Quartet Concert, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
