Announcements
SUMMER WORSHIP – will be online for the month August with Rev. Garry leading services. An email will be sent every Friday with the same Zoom link that admits you to the service.
A NEW ROOF FOR DELTA UNITED CHURCH – From the Trustees The roof on Delta is 18 years old and leaking so a new roof is needed right away. It will be replaced by Deluca Roofing at a cost of $33,000. Work will begin soon. Part of the cost of the new roof will be covered by the government grant Delta received in the amount of $20,000. We hope to raise the remaining $13,000 over the next 16 months with a fundraising campaign. Please consider making your contribution to the Roof Fund. If there are any questions, please contact Doug Robb.
DID YOU MISS THE SERVICE? – Videos of Delta United Church’s services are recorded and posted on-line for our members to watch when convenient. There is a private Facebook group for the Delta United Church family called “Delta United Church Worship Hamilton”. You need an invitation to access it. Please email the church office to request one.

The City of Hamilton is situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, Mississaugas and Anishinaabe First Nations, governed by
the Dish With One Spoon Treaty of 1701, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and protect the resources around the Great Lakes.
The dish is the land and all its bounty… There is just one dish, and we are all responsible to replenish it, so it doesn’t become empty.
Likewise, there is just one spoon, so that we each take what we need and then pass the spoon to the next person.
And it’s a spoon, not a knife, because we need to share and resolve our conflicts in a non-violent manner.
In 1764, the Treaty was extended to settlers as part of the Treaty of Niagara, and to this day we are all Treaty People living on Treaty Land.
We have a responsibility to understand the Treaty and to make sure everyone shares equally in our common wealth.
Hamilton is home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island (North America) and we recognize that we must do more
to learn about the rich history of this land so we can better understand our roles as residents, neighbours, partners and stewards.
