Presbyterians Sharing Sunday is September 26, 2021
This is a day to celebrate the generosity of Presbyterians across Canada using gifts given by God to carry out Christ’s ministry in our communities and around the world.
Together, we build strong congregations, serve vulnerable people, walk with Indigenous people, seek justice and share God’s love around the world. Together, we are Presbyterians Sharing.
The following materials can be tailored to meet your congregation’s needs. There is a complete printed worship service, videos of the sermon and children’s story, and all the digital components you need to create and customize your own service. Use on September 26 or any other Sunday that works for you. Feel free to share the videos on social media or on your congregation’s website.
Video: Sermon – Sharing Our Gifts

Includes illustrative photos and first-hand accounts from the Rev. Joel Sherbino (Malawi), the Rev. David Moody (Hamilton) and Kate McGee (Boarding Homes Ministry). Show this video during worship or use the sermon text from the worship service with some of the components below to customize your own sermon.
Video: Children’s Story
Emily Hill (Education Program Coordinator, Canadian Ministries) shares some interesting facts about bees – and how they share their gifts, just like we do! Show this video in your worship service or use the text from the worship service with some of the PowerPoint slides to customize your own children’s story.
