COMBINED SERVICE and WELCOME on SUNDAY, August 23Save the date for a special combined worship service on
Sunday, August 23, at 9:30 AM.
To bring our entire community together, for this day, we are merging our standard schedule into a single service. As a result, the early service will start one hour later than usual,
and the late service will begin one hour earlier.
Following the combined service, there will be a gathering at the church hall to welcome Reverend Francis and his family. Please join us for refreshments, fellowship, and a warm community reception
as we celebrate this new chapter together.
We look forward to seeing everyone united under one roof for
this wonderful day of worship and welcome.

To finish the afternoon on a sweet note, we will be serving refreshing, homemade gelato for dessert. Our community lunches are about more than just great food. They are a space to meet new residents, catch up with old friends, and share stories. Whether you have 20 minutes or an hour, we would love to see you there.

Partners in Mission for AugustAlongside Hope has been connecting Anglicans in Canada to people in need since 1958. Once named for the Primate, the head of the Anglican Church in Canada, in 2024 the membership approved our new name. Alongside Hope is the Anglican Church of Canada’s agency for sustainable development and relief. Since 1958, they have worked hand-in-hand with trusted partners in Canada and around the world on a journey of positive change. Together, we are improving health, food security and livelihoods where needs are greatest. Alongside Hope receives donations from people across Canada – Anglicans as well as non-Anglicans – and also receives funds from other sources, including Global Affairs Canada and institutional donors. Their volunteers promote Alongside Hope programs in churches and communities, to raise money and awareness about the needs of vulnerable people around the world. The staff in Toronto are careful stewards of these funds and work to ensure that development and relief programs are as efficient and effective as possible. Alongside Hope is committed to working in diverse communities and does not proselytize in its work. |
