Sunday Worship

8:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist

Our Sunday 8am service is a traditional spoken worship service using the Book of Common Prayer 1962 (BCP). If you prefer a quiet, reflective start to your day, you may enjoy this service. We hear from God’s word and share communion together. There is no music, organ or choir at this service. This service generally takes about 50 minutes.

9:00 a.m Bible Study

The Bible study takes place after the 8 a.m. service and focuses on the Sunday readings. The Bible study is scheduled at this time so that everyone can come, regardless of which Sunday service they attend. We study the Gospel reading of the week using the Gospel Based Discipleship framework from the Anglican Church of Canada.

10:30 a.m. Holy Eucharist

This is a traditional choral service using the Book of Alternative Services (BAS) and hymns from Common Praise. We hear from God’s word and share communion together. This service runs for about 1 hour, and is followed by a time of fellowship and refreshments in the hall.

Wednesday Worship

10:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist

This is a contemplative mid-week service using the Book of Common Prayer 1962 (BCP). You are invited to join us for quiet, spiritual refreshment and reflection. We hear from God’s word and share communion together. This service takes about 50 minutes.

Prayerbooks that we use

The Book of Common Prayer 1962 is the comprehensive prayer service book for Anglican Churches worldwide. It has shaped Christian worship for almost 500 years. It uses traditional wording and prayers and structures for services throughout the day and the year. It contains the written liturgies for almost any service held in an Anglican Church. These include: Morning and Evening Prayer, Holy Communion, Ordination, Baptism, Matrimony, and Burial services.

The Book of Alternative Services 1985 is a contemporary, inclusive-language liturgical text used instead of the Book of Common Prayer. It is probably the most widely used prayer book in the Anglican Church of Canada. It includes morning and evening prayer, services for Holy Communion and the forms for administering the sacraments, rites and ceremonies of the Anglican Church.
