Our Parish Eucharist is the main service where our community gathers each week. Whilst firmly rooted in the Canadian Anglican Tradition we also use a variety of prayers from other parts of the Anglican world. We have a variety of music, including settings of the Eucharist, hymns, and organ pieces, from contemporary and ancient sources.
We hear readings from the Hebrew Scriptures, the Christian Scriptures, and the Gospels at the heart of our gathering and are offered a reflection on those Scriptures by, usually, a member of our parish Ministry team. As we share bread and wine, all are invited to be a part of that sharing and all are welcomed at the Table. Most Sundays the Parish Eucharist is followed by coffee, tea, and conversation at the back of the church.
We are an affirming and inclusive parish - all are welcome to join us from any background, race, culture, gender, or sexual identity. The sacraments, including Baptism, Eucharist, and Marriage are offered freely to all - Christ welcomes you, and so do we.

The Sunday worship is also accessable online, via livestream on our website. You may also wish to request access to the Zoom meeting for worship which leads into a discussion and online coffee hour - please contact the office to arrange this.
After the service, those on Zoom gather for a virtual coffee hour.
