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.

A Prayer for the Fires at CFB Wainwright
Gracious and loving God,
We pray for all those affected by the fires at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright. We remember those who have died, asking that they rest in your eternal peace, and we pray for those who have been injured and for all who grieve, that they may know your comfort and healing.
We give heartfelt thanks for the extraordinary work of the Canadian Armed Forces, and for the courage, dedication and professionalism of all who have worked to protect lives and support those in danger. We pray for their safety and strength, and for their families who share in the demands of their service.
We give thanks also for chaplains, firefighters, first responders and all who have offered help and support from across Canada. Bless their generosity and compassion, and sustain all who continue to serve.
In this time of uncertainty, be a refuge for those who are afraid, comfort those who mourn, and bring hope and healing to all affected. May we be united in compassion and strengthened by our care for one another.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our hope and our light.
Amen.

Oct 20 prayer for Synod
For Synod Delegates, Staff and Leaders
O Holy One, guide all our synod delegates,
That those called to serve in these responsibilities may be men and women living a holy life, seeking to be in your will, able to overcome prejudices, examining issues with care, and that the decisions of Synod may be to the building up of your church and to your glory.
May we be truly unified as one under Christ.
For A Church Alive To The Lord
O God, we get so caught up with the programs, with the buildings, with raising the finances, with restructuring and with endless sheets of paper.
Forgive us when we make these things our priority and ignore your presence.
May our priority be to live Christ-like lives and as we look to you in prayer may our words and deeds be a witness to your glory. Amen. (Anglican Fellowship of Prayer - Canada)
