Finding the Elation...In Worship:

Shout with Joy before the Lord, O earth.  Obey him gladly, come before him, singing with joy (Psalm 100)

There are many opportunities for worship at St. Paul's during the summer.

  • Sunday worship at 8:00am and 10:00
  • Wednesday service 9:45am
There is active lay participation in worship: parishioners participate as communion administrators, leaders for prayers of the people, greeters and readers.

An integral part of our worship is music, which includes new music and original compositions, and is supported by:

  • choir
  • Christian musicians

Summer Service Schedule

8:00 AM Sunday MorningHoly Communion Said service using the Book of Alternative Services.

10:00 AM Sunday Morning - This service is one of Holy Communion.  There is a mix of music using the traditional hymns and Christian songs.  During the summer we tend to be informal.  We still follow along using the Book of Alternative Services.  Choir robes and albs are not used in the summer.  The God Squad, aka Sunday school, takes place at the same time as this service. The nursery room while open is not staffed during the summer.

09:45 AM Wednesday Morning Eucharist and Bible Study – Holy Communion how fortunate we are to have a Wednesday morning Eucharist and bible study. When Fr. John asked what the Wednesday morning Eucharist means to us, one comment was that it provides the spiritual boost we need to get through the rest of the week, that it reaffirms the Sunday experience.


Access to the Lord's Table

Our policy with regard to access to the Lord's Table during the Eucharist is: This is the Lord's Table and all the Lord's people are welcome. In terms of visitors, they are invited to share in the bread and wine if they have been baptized, if they have accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and if they are accustomed to receiving the elements of the Eucharist in their own church. We use bread and wine with a common cup. Communicants are welcome to drink from the cup or practice intinction (dipping the bread into the cup). Non-communicants may also come forward at the time of Communion and receive a blessing in the form of a short prayer.

Amongst the members of our parish, the norm is that children be baptized before receiving Communion (this is totally at the discretion of the parents).


Physical Access

We occupy a building with features to assist our visitors with mobility or hearing impairment. All of the areas of the church building are wheelchair accessible. We, also, offer a hearing loop system at 10:00 am services.
