One of the young people from here is starting school at Memorial in St. John's next month. He will be staying in residence.
This morning his mother asked me if I knew anything about churches in the area of Memorial that he could make contact with. KNowing next to nothing, I thought I would throw it out to this community of wise ones (and wise a$$es). The family is highly musical so a congregation with a strong music ministry may be a good thing. ANd of course a congregation with sopmething of a student connection would be good.
Also, is there a UCCan student group and/or chaplaincy program on the Memorial campus???
Anyone know anything?????????

Ooh, pick me. Pick me. (Surprised?)
Actually my sister-in-law attended Gower Street United for many years. Indeed she was a soloist with the church choir. Gower Street is about 5 minutes away from Memorial, the university my brother graduated from.

St. James United Church is right next to the MUNL Campus in St. John's.
The Reverend Guy Matthews is a friend of mine and he is aces.
The Church is walking distance (10 min) from all MUNL dorms.
They have a web-site and it is found at: http://www.stjamesuc.nf.net/
Grace and peace to you.

I was only in St. John's for a few days during my trip to Newfoundland last year but I visited Gower St. United. I was most impressed with the service and the members of the congregation that I met in the pew and during the fellowship time after the service. It is near the univeristy, a beautiful, old historic building, and with an excellent choir. (Thanks Jae for your recommendation as well). If I knew someone going to Mem. I would certainly advise them to try Gower St.
