## Programs[edit]

The purpose of Hawthorne United Church is to promote religion and attempt to relieve the effects of poverty and distress in western Ottawa and neighbouring communities.

It also provides support and counselling in crisis and emergency (e.g., sickness, poverty, death, distress), chaplaincy functions, pastoral care, religious education, worship, family counselling and community outreach. The congregation donates funds to denomination headquarters in support of national and international Mission and Service activities and donates funds to a local community chaplaincy association, which provides outreach services direct to area residents. In addition, the congregation provides support directly to local food banks. Hawthorne United Church conducts regular discussion groups and seminars focusing on religious education and exploration.

The Hawthorne United Church was originally built in 1892 on land expropriated by the Federal District Commission as part of the relocation of Ottawa's railway tracks.[2] Hawthorne United was moved to make way for a bridge on Nov 22 1950 to a site a mile west, near the CBO transmitter.[3] The original cornerstone, laid on June 24, 1892, was brought up to date to reflect the new brick church, dedicated Sunday Nov 14, 1952.[4]

In 2003, the United Church and Anglican Church began to engage in a formal conversation on organically uniting the two churches Anglican and United churches in Canada.

Some activities at Hawthorne United Church over the years have been:

* Social Action Committee
* Bible Study Groups
* Paying off the mortgage

The Eastern Ontario Outaouais Regional Council Executive approved the request of the Council of Hawthorne United Church to disband, pending the receipt of a distribution plan prior to June 30, the Hawthorne United Church pastoral charge effective June 30, 2021.
