📚🙏 Praying for all our high school students as they prepare for and write their final exams.

This time of year can bring a lot of pressure, stress, anxiety, and late nights. We’re praying that in the middle of all the studying and uncertainty, you would know God’s peace, strength, and presence with you.

May God calm anxious hearts, give clarity of mind, help you remember what you've learned, and remind you that your worth is not measured by a grade. ❤️

“You keep in perfect peace those whose mind is stayed on you.” Isaiah 26:3

We’re cheering you on and praying for you this week and next. You’ve got this. 🙏📖✨

☀️ Summer Sizzler- where summer memories are made!

Kids laughing.
Neighbours talking.
Music playing.
Hot dogs on the grill.
People slowing down long enough to simply enjoy being together.

In a world that can feel rushed, lonely, and disconnected, we believe community matters. Hope matters. People matter.

That’s why we’re so excited for our Summer Sizzler! 🎉

Join us for a FREE afternoon of food, games, live music, games, prize draws, and fun for all ages.

For 35 years, the Food Pantry at Christ Church St. James has been serving our neighbours in southern Etobicoke with dignity, compassion, and care. ❤️

Today, we serve on average more than 1,700 individuals every month. Over 660 of those are children.

Behind every number is a real person. A family. A story. Someone trying to make it through rising food costs, rent, bills, and life’s challenges.

And through it all, God continues to provide through the generosity of this community.

Thank you to every volunteer, donor, supporter, and prayer warrior who helps make this ministry possible. You are helping bring hope to our neighbourhood.

If you'd like to give today, you can do so here - https://www.canadahelps.org/.../char.../christchurchstjames/

Remember passing notes in elementary school?

“Do you like me?”
☐ YES
☐ NO

On Sunday we began a new summer sermon series on following Jesus in everyday life, and this week we looked at Jesus calling Matthew in Matthew 9.

In a similar way, Jesus asks a question of us every day: “Follow Me?”

He means in ordinary life. In our decisions, priorities, relationships, routines, and choices.

And every day we answer somehow..Yes or no.

What do you say today?
