Are you in Saskatoon and looking for an
expansive community?
Welcome to SSUC Saskatoon (previously known as Meewasin Valley United).
This expansive space of spirituality was established as a satellite partner of SSUC Edmonton in July 2018. We gather regularly to participate in meaningful conversations, discuss topics of interest (book studies, etc.), and build community with SSUC Edmonton.Â
Join us for our monthly Sunday gatherings where we connect with each other in person here in Saskatoon and with SSUC in Edmonton via live stream, and share in being a supportive community.
In-Person gatherings:
We gather at a member’s home on the third Sunday of the month, starting at 10:00am – 1:00pm local time – check the calendar for dates. We visit for a while, and participate online with SSUC in Edmonton, then share a meal together while we discuss the themes and ideas of the Spiritual Gathering. If you wish to know the address of the next location for our Gathering or more information about our community, please contact Trisha at ssucsaskatoon@gmail.com. Online: Watch LIVE with our Edmonton and Saskatoon communities.
SSUC Saskatoon has an active prayer chain of about 4 members who hold people and intentions in their hearts daily. All concerns can be sent to trisha.a.little@gmail.com.
Further details on events can be accessed through our SSUC Saskatoon Facebook page or our Calendar. SSUC Saskatoon photos: recent and archival, click here. For more information, please contact ssucsaskatoon@gmail.com  or info@ssucedmonton.com.

Oct 20 Sacred Circle Dance 1:30-3:00pm:Â This is a spiritual practice through movement, drawing on a combination of choreographed dances and ones that have been passed down orally. We dance as an expression of life, rather than for the purpose of performance. We dance in a circle, all helping to form the rim of the circle that honours self, each other, community, and Earth. For more information, contact Trisha at ssucsaskatoon@gmail.com.
Oct 28 Chop n Chat:Â Â Lorie and Teresa will be preparing and serving lunch to the community. Thank you!
