Faith United Church:
A Unique United Church
The church without a church building in Kingston East for more than 30 years! When Faith United was founded, the piece of land at 1467 Highway 15 was purchased for the construction of a church. In time, however, the church members decided that they would rather put their energy into building a caring community than into erecting a church building!

The Bible and Zombies: Apocalypticism Then and Now
Can you relate to any of the following?
· I have avoided reading Revelation.
· I wonder why the book of Revelation is in the Christian Bible.
· I have tried to read Revelation but it left me utterly confused.
· I’m afraid to read Revelation.
· I think Revelation is irrelevant to my faith or spirituality.
· I love zombies.
· I hate zombies.
· I think zombies are irrelevant.
If any of these statements are true for you, we have two opportunities to learn and connect. In an interactive Saturday morning workshop and Sunday worship service, we will consider how zombies – a modern manifestation of apocalyptic thought – can help reveal the first century manifestation of apocalyptic thought in the book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse of John. We will explore themes of fear, catastrophe, colonialism, the environment, trust, meaning and Revelation’s main message – hope.
Featuring Dr. Mona Tokarek LaFosse (Assistant Professor of New Testament and Early Christian Studies, Emmanuel College of Victoria University in the University of Toronto)
We encourage and support each person’s unique journey of faith.
