This Sunday June 29 – Combined Service at St. Andrew’s Richmond
St. Andrew’s Richmond (3529 McBean St. Richmond ON) will be hosting us for a combined service this Sunday, June 29th at 10:00 a.m.. For a variety of reasons, including mobility issues and a big choir for Sunday, we have made the decision to have the service inside the sanctuary. Following the service we will have a BBQ lunch. You can choose to eat outside on the church lawn, or in the church hall. Richmond will provide the BBQ and drinks and we bring salads, nibblies and desserts. Weather permitting there will also be some games on the lawn following lunch and some sidewalk chalk drawing!

Land Acknowledgement
We begin every worship service by acknowledging that the land on which our church building sits and where most of us live and work and play is the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anashinabe peoples.
We seek to grow in reconciliation and in our relationships with First Nation, Inuit and Metis peoples.

Child & Youth Church Services
We know that it can be difficult for children and young people to sit through a service that can be over an hour long and not necessarily geared to young children. We believe that children are an important part of our church family, and we are happy to change what we do to be more accessible to children and young families. For that reason on the third Sunday of each month we have special Sunday morning worship services. The services are specifically geared to young children who have a need to move and can not necessarily sit quietly. The worship services are at the regular time at 10:00 a.m. but they are only about 1/2 hour long with songs, music and a message geared to children and young people. There are also sweet treats for everyone after the service.
As always, all are welcome!
Next Children & Youth Service is Sunday September 21, 2025.
