A prayer for you during the week

A new prayer at the beginning of each week

Week of Pentecost 18

Just God, one God, we live in this world and look for the world to come. Teach us what to ask for: give us all we need. Make us life-givers with you who build your dominion here, in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.

  • This time of prayer sets a few moments aside during the routine of the week
  • It is simple and contemplative with moments of silence
  • Anyone who wishes to join us on Zoom is welcome
  • It is also available on our Facebook Page

Every Wednesday at 12 Noon, 15 minutes of quiet, reflection, and prayer

Caring for our local community and beyond

Over 30 per cent of our annual budget is given in service to others

Our people are actively engaged in service to others. Here are some of the projects and initiatives that we currently support.

A Journey in Learning and Discovery

Nine sessions September to November

Christian Foundations -- A grounding for a Life of Faith

The Christian Foundations Series is aimed at helping women and men, whether or not they are part of a community of faith, to acquire a basic understanding of the Teachings of Jesus.

In our sessions, we will explore parts of the Bible, church history, and the disciplines and practices common to Christian traditions. The workbook materials are user-friendly and inviting.

This series is now underway. If you'd like to join a future offering, let us know. If numbers merit, we will plan for another series.

Happy moments in parish life ... sharing our blessings

All proceeds from parish events are directed to our ministry and community outreach to those in need

Thanks for checking out the BBQ. You're also warmly invited any Sunday 10 am. 
Blessings to you.
