about us

The Parish Council is the “clearing house” for all aspects of parish life. Chaired by the rector, led by the wardens, ten people chosen to represent the interests of a cross-section of members and groups meet once a month to prayerfully consider how best to move forward for the well- being of our church community.  

While finances and property concerns are knotty problems always at the top of the heap, there is so much praiseworthy activity in our parish that also fills us with joy.   

We delight in hearing Sunday School reports, the magnificent results of our Poverty Outreach Committee, and the social event and fund raisers planned by the Ladies’ Guild.   

However, our spiritual life, music ministry, forward planning, cementing our role in the larger church, and commitment to our church and village community is the underpinning of all that is done – with God’s love and guidance.   

Our Chancel Guild presently consists of twelve members appointed by the priest, who leads the Guild.  

Our responsibilities include preparing the church for Sundays, or whenever needed for Holy Communion, baptisms, confirmations, weddings and funerals.  

The Guild sets up Communion, takes care of and washes linens, polishes silver and brass, washes the vessels and provides floral arrangements.   

All Guild members help to decorate the church for special festivals, usually on a Saturday morning, working in teams of 2 with each pair working for a month.  

The Ladies’ Guild began in 1954 and meets the 3rd Monday of each month at 1:30pm, either at the church or at a member’s home.   

Every Anglican woman is a member of the Ladies’ Guild regardless of age. The purpose is to unite all women in the fellowship of worship, learning and sharing, whether at church, in a nursing home, talking with a neighbour, or baking for a bake sale or church supper.   

We all have gifts to share that will deepen and strengthen our lives; we are women promoting peace and hope by reaching out to others in Christian service. 

CURRENTLY ON PAUSE, UNTIL COVID RESTRICTIONS ARE LIFTED

The Thursday Morning Group meets for coffee at 10:00 am each Thursday morning to embark on explorations of faith. 

Books by present-day theologians, largely Christian, are the spark for lively discussions about the gospels and our present-day response to them.

Sparkling debate, a bit of anarchy, and new reaction to time-tested ideas are prayerfully welcome. Newcomers, and new ideas are joyously greeted.
