Big Band Music Night at Beach United Church

Big Band Music Night – Thank you!

We want to thank everyone for attending our fantastic Big Band Music Night event with vocalists John Amato & Shannon McDougall, and the Toronto All-Star Big Band! We could not have done it without all of the help from our Beach United and The Beach Cares volunteers, and all of the generous donors and sponsors from the community.

We wanted to share a few highlights from the evening. For additional video clips, please visit our Instagram feed!

Queer Youth United

Starting January 18th, 2024, Queer Youth United (QYU) will meet on Thursdays from 4-7pm – you may drop in at any time between those hours.

QYU is a 2SLGBTQ+ youth group for ages 15-29, where you can come and engage with others in a safe space within the community, while sharing meals, finding support and resources.

We post updates on our Instagram account over at @queeryouthunited, which is maintained by our coordinator, Corin Collins. Learn more about Corin here!

Nathalie Zeta

Welcome, Nathalie!

Beach United Church is pleased to announce that Nathalie Zeta has joined our staff as our Child and Youth Coordinator.

Nathalie brings over a decade of experience with children of all ages through her work with the City of Toronto, a Children’s Centre, and YMCA Day camps.  Nathalie has an Early Childhood Education diploma from George Brown College. 

Her passion and enthusiasm for children is contagious and will serve her well as she builds relationships that meet spiritual needs in progressive and creative ways and expands Beach United’s connections with the local and wider community.

We are glad she will be working with the children and the rest of the congregation at Beach United Church.  Please join us in welcoming Nathalie to our Beach community.

Thank you,
