Welcome from the Rector:
Welcome to the
website of the Church of St Paul's Hazeldean/Kanata. We
know from past experience that a great variety of people
visit our site for as many different reasons. Members
visit to obtain details of services, and events;
visitors visit it to determine how welcome they might
be; and church-shoppers visit it as they make their list
of churches to avoid or to visit in person. All of these
good reasons have been kept in mind in designing this
site. I believe that this site is informative for all
and reflects accurately the tone, culture and priorities
of this faith community.
You would expect
me, in this word of welcome, to be enthusiastic about St
Paul's Church. I am. We are in an exciting time. With a
brand new building and new energies I am looking forward
to the time ahead. When you read what is on this site,
you will understand that this enthusiasm is well
founded. St Paul's is a dynamic community, faithful in
the stewardship of God's gifts to us. We are a community
of seekers, some of whom have grown up within the
Anglican tradition, many who have other Christian
backgrounds, and others yet who come new to the
Christian Church. Also, we are a faith community with a
rich diversity - all of this makes this community a true
reflection of the diversity of the human family.
I hope that you
will visit us in person after your visit to this site,
and join with us at St Paul's, confident that this is a
place where you can belong, grow and serve in the power
of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace and
peace,
The Reverend Canon John Bridges, Rector
