Quiet Christmas Service – Wednesday December 17 at 7:00pm
While Christmas is a time of joy, it can also be a difficult time of year for many people. The effect of shortened days, seasonal stress, or the loss of loved ones can leave us feeling out of step with the holiday cheer. A Quiet Christmas service makes space to find some calm and care in the middle of all the busyness. Join us as we reflect on the good news that Christ comes as light in the darkness. This will be a shared service with our friends from Ancaster Village Church.

Easter Sunday – April 20th
Join us at 10:30am as we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and the victory of God’s love over the power of death. Worship will include special music from the St. Andrew’s Choir and Music Team.

This year’s Easter Sunday celebrations will include the ‘Flowering of the Cross.’ The flowering of the cross is a Christian tradition that symbolizes the transformation from the darkness of death to the joy of resurrection. It marks the transition from the somber reflection of Good Friday to the joyful celebration of Easter. Flowers, are used to symbolize the Resurrection and new life.

A cross for this occasion was made for us. You will have the opportunity to decorate the cross with flowers (that will be provided) at the service on Easter Sunday.
