 Our Primary Ministries

Our Ministries really define who we are and they provide the focus of parish life.  At present we have the following ministries in which, as a congregation, we are actively engaged.  Click on each ministry to find out more about that work.
  • Worship focuses on the religious aspects of our Anglican church experience

  • Pastoral Care is aimed at keeping in touch with those who can't always come to church

  • Music Ministry ensures that our worship is augmented with the joy of music - instrumental as well as vocal
  • Church School provides the young family members with both learning and fun as part of their worship.
  • Chancel Guild supports our worship by ensuring the appropriate Sunday service needs are provided 
  • Family Market is part of our Outreach program providing low cost clothing and other items for the community
  • Soup & Sandwich is also part of our Outreach work and operates a lunch kitchen for those in the community who cannot always afford a hot meal.
  • Social Committee focuses on the family involvement in the church in a non-religious atmosphere.
  • St. John's Cemetery is a registered Ontario cemetery offering burial services to the community (both Anglican and non-parishioners).
  • Property Committee ensures the ongoing viability of our church buildings and the rectory.

Soup & Sandwich Lunch

As part of our outreach program, we run a regular lunch program in the hall.  This supports the local community by providing low-cost hearty lunches.

The lunches are held Thursdays from 12:00 noon to 1:30pm - from the 1st week in October to the last week in June. Closing for three weeks at Christmas,  during Easter Week and for the summer.

Cost $3.00 for adults and children under 5 are Free

Lunch is comprised of a choice of soup, and a choice of sandwiches, accompanied by dessert, with tea or coffee.

The lunches give anyone the ability to have a good lunch and a chance to socialize.

Although we do not intend to make a profit we sometimes do, because of the many donations we have been given. Our profits go to our world wide Out Reach program. In April, the Soup & Sandwich Lunch has donated $500 to the Primates World Relief and Development Fund, specifically for Aids Relief in Africa.
