Come as you are … everyone is welcome!

Welcome to the Ecumenical Shared Ministry (EMS) of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and St. Paul’s United Church at  178 Church St., Bowmanville.  We are worshipping in the air-conditioned gym for July and August.

Whether you join us in-person or on-line, worship is every Sunday at 10:30 am. Over the summer, repairs will be made to the wooden sanctuary front doors, so use the doors on Silver Street. The worship space is wheel-chair assessible. After worship, please stay for lemonade on the lawn (weather permitting).

Thank you to Derek Marsellus, LLWL, who is leading worship on July 26th. Rev. Michelle is currently on sabbatical, returning September 1st..

Our children’s program is on summer hiatus. The remainder of the year, it is available, during the service, for Grades JK to High School. Youth leaders lead activities that encourage exploration of today’s scripture and parents can relax and enjoy in the service.

Rev. Michelle describes herself as “a lifelong person of faith having grown up in the church.  As a young adult I struggled as many do with the teachings of the church.  Through my personal struggle with mental health issues in my late teens and adulthood I have come to a very different place about faith and my spiritual journey.  Questions are real!  Struggle is real!  But there is a Spirit that is far bigger than I.  There is a Spirit that is Life, Love, Transformation and Community known in the person of Jesus Christ.  Christ lived, loved, struggled, offered healing to those marginalized by society.  In him I find one who leads us to living lives that are rooted in the Divine (God).  I seek to embody Christ in my valuing of all of Creation, including humanity.  I seek to be a safe person for all people in our glorious diversity. ”
