After months of meetings by committees of both churches, the congregations of Queen St. United and St. Margaret's United began worshipping together in the St. Margaret's sanctuary on Nov. 23, 2008. On Sunday, May 31, 2009, the congregations of St. Margaret's United and Queen St. United, in separate votes, voted in favour of the following motion:

A new joint amalgamation committee was formed to proceed with the next steps involved in making a formal amalgamation a reality.
Until the amalgamation is formally completed, the ministers, music directors and other staff of both churches will continue to serve their respective congregations, and will jointly participate in the planning and carrying out of our combined worship services. Each congregation will maintain its own identity. That means that if you currently give to either church by loose offering, you will need to use the envelopes available in the pews to designate whether you wish to donate to Queen St. or St. Margaret's. Also, some Queen St. activities will continue to take place in the Queen St. building, while others will move to the St. Margaret's location.
