Community Life
Corner Brook United meets for worship on Sundays at 11:00 am. We have an active choir, as well as United Church Women and Men’s Club. We also host many weekly groups, as well as special events.
Ongoing Groups
Corner Brook United Choir
About two dozen members gather under the direction of Jennifer Billard. Our repertoire features classical choral arrangements primarily accompanied by organ and piano. Between September and June we practice each week, the time will be updated in the Fall. New choristers are always welcomed.
​
United Church Women (UCW)
The UCW meets monthly from Sept-June. Meetings consist of worship, business & various programs. The UCW is presently sponsoring 3 children in Haiti through HATS (Hands Across The Sea). The group contributes financially to the church by various fund raising efforts such as a Christmas Bazaar, Carnival Chili dinner, spring and fall used clothing sale. For funerals, the UCW forms a choir and caters a reception after, if requested by the family. These are just some of the activities of this group.
Men’s Service Club at Corner Brook United
The Men's Club operates from Sept-June. Our monthly meals are open to all men and feature Jiggs Dinner, Pan Fried Cod, Moose Stew, Rabbit Dinner and Roast Beef at an average cost of about $15. They’re held for the sole purpose of getting together and sharing a meal, and they quickly sell out. The Rabbit Dinner, two Carnival Breakfasts offered during Corner Brook Carnival (in February), and Shrove Tuesday Pancakes are open to everyone. (Again, tickets go fast.) The Men’s Club also runs Fall and Spring Garage Sales, and an annual Silent Auction held in November.
Weekly Groups
​
Bible Study
We have not resumed Bible Study since Covid. We will post here when we restart.
Community Outreach Lunch (biweekly)
Every other Wednesday, Corner Brook United hosts a Community Outreach Lunch sponsored by all United Churches in Corner Brook. Our volunteers provide warm, nutritious meals, conversation, and occasional entertainment to our guests. Although our focus in on to those who are hungry or in need, anyone in the community is welcome to join us.
Accordion Group
We started off with little skill and a lot of heart. We’ve improved on our skills and kept the heart. We practice every Wednesday at 7:00 pm in the lower hall, usually playing traditional Irish and Newfoundland tunes. Come and join us!
​
Occasional Events
Dinner and Kitchen Party
We are hoping to get some new events on the go as we work on getting things back to normal after our amalgamation.
Concerts
We have a fantastic stage in our sanctuary and we have hosted some wonderful concerts in the past including The Once, The Ennis Sisters and the Shalloway Choir. If you are interested in putting on a concert please contact the office for further information.
