Welcome to St. John's Anglican Church Tillsonburg!

Hello and welcome! 

We invite you to join us in person in worship, fellowship, and service.  In our expression of Christianity, all are welcome.  As believers, we make faith matter in our lives.  Prayerfully, our parish family is walking together to see where God is leading us and inviting us to journey with Him.  We look forward to meeting you.

 

We're calling for your support in the following:

  • Cantata - join the choir for our Cantata on the Third Week of Advent.
  • Birthday Boxes -  contribute towards the Birthday Boxes that are needed in our community: make up a box or donate $15.
  • Helping Hands Food Bank - drop off requested non-perishable food and clothing items during the week to support those in need.
  • Beer Cans & Wine Bottle Drive -  Empty bottles may be left in the box near the coat rack.

Quiet day

Starts 6:00 PM Friday evening,  13 Nov.   to  3:00 PM  Saturday,  14 Nov.

You are invited to join us for our Quiet Day on starting Friday 13 through Saturday 14 November.

We're going to be exploring ways to use our quiet time with a specific focus on prayer.

We will start with a short introductory time on Friday evening and continue on Saturday.

We've built the program around 5 different concepts with a mix of activity, reflection and fellowship.

Fr. Tom, Christine and Harold each bring a different perspective to the theme of the day and these have been woven into the program.

·       Embracing quiet reflection.
2 Saturday (9:00 AM)
·       Guided Meditation
3 Saturday (11:00 AM)
·       Using an Anglican Prayer Rosary

Prayer for the Day
Almighty and eternal God,
you have kindled the flame of love
in the hearts of the saints:
grant to us the same faith and power of love,
that, as we rejoice in their triumphs,
we may be sustained by their example and fellowship;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

A Prayer for the Day Daily Office

From the Anglican Fellowship of Prayer

"If you only pray when you're in trouble, you're in trouble." 
 
When you knock on the door of my heart, 
may I never keep you standing outside…. 
may I never keep a single corner 
closed to your influence.
Do what you will with me, O God;
make of me what you will,
change me as you will,
and use me as you will,
both now and in the larger life beyond;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
From John Baillie’s A Diary of Private Prayer
