This is your one-stop spot for everything happening in our church family. From kids to adults, small groups to special events, here's how you can grow in connection with our faith community.

On the brink of a new season

This time of year finds us in a new season, both on our church calendar and the meteorological one. This Sunday is Pentecost, the day we’ll re-tell the story of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit. It marks the end of our six-month journey of telling the story of Jesus from his incarnation through to his ascension. For us in Niagara, that also coincides with moving from springtime into summer.

Summer is full of all kinds of glories like fresh strawberries and peaches later, family camping trips and simply staycations. It’s a season defined by sunshine, rest, and play.

During the summer season as many of us are engaged in resting, playing, et cetera, our weekend gatherings tend to take on a different complexion. They are often smaller, shorter, and simpler. That’s good, too. No less glorious than any other Sunday.

It’s perfectly permissible to relax into the rhythm of the summer while still staying connected to community. So enjoy your summer, practice justice, love mercy. Walk in the grace of God and keep your eyes open to see glories revealed in every step you take.

Each Sunday we will continue to re-gather and re-member. We have the church picnic to look forward to, and the impromptu post-service picnics each week. We’ll see you this season at the corner of Concession 7 and Queenston Road.

Thursday, May 21st 🙏

Join us every Thursday at 1:00pm in the sanctuary for prayer. Bring your own prayer requests, your prayers for others, and your willingness to be formed through the practice of prayer.



Community Prayer

We are a people of prayer. Here’s what we’re praying for this week:

🙏 Jim Mills – Jim is in the final stage of his battle with cancer. Pray for God’s nearness to be known and felt.

🙏 Alexander, Rebecca, Asher & Aiden – Our pastors are heading to Uganda in less than a month. Pray for their provision and peace.

Less than a month to go

We're counting down in days, now. 

🙏 Our Students – As the school year draws to an end, pray for our students that they would have the strength to finish well.
