Happy Easter! Throughout the next 50 days, we will be celebrating the season of Eastertide. We recognize through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, that with God all things are possible. We are here to bear witness to the truth that:
Goodness is stronger than evil.
Hope is stronger than despair.
Love is more powerful than hatred.
Life triumphs over death.
Come help us celebrate and learn to be witness to these things in our complicated world. We think, pray and work together to love God with our minds and hearts and to love our neighbours as we love ourselves.

We worship together, share in ministry and serve God together. We are two distinct congregations that share a history, a neighbourhood, worship services and one Lord and Saviour whom we worship and trust. Our congregation seeks to live out Jesus’s commandment to love our God with our hearts, minds and spirits and to love our neighbour as ourselves.
Our cooperation is unique and we rejoice and take strength in the words written to the faithful at Ephesus: “one faith, one hope, one baptism.” Ephesians 4:5
