In worship, we orient our hearts and lives toward God. Our liturgies (worship services) are Christ-focused times to engage in prayer, scripture, reflection, declarations of faith, confession, and community.
We believe in the Trinity (one God in three persons), in the forgiveness of sins, and in the abundant grace and love of God for all of creation.
Worship is for all of God’s family – including you! Welcome, wherever you are on your spiritual journey.
Anglican Church
The Anglican Church of Canada is part of the world-wide Anglican Communion. We proclaim in word and action the Good News of God in Jesus Christ. Deeply rooted in history, reason, and scriptures, we value our rich diversity in worship and ministry. The five “Marks of Mission” (guiding principles) include to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom; to teach, baptize and nurture new believers; to respond to human need by loving service; to seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation; and to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.
Sunday Service
When you come in the doors, you will be greeted and offered a bulletin.
The participatory service is led by the Rector (Priest) and the ministry team.
Your first time through our doors may feel unfamiliar, but we hope with time you will become comfortable with the flow of the services. At any point during service if you have any questions please let us know how we can make your experience more comfortable.
Our 8:30 a.m. services is from the 1962 Book of Common Prayer and the 10:30 a.m. service is from 1985 Book of Alternative Services.
The 10:30 worship service is live-streamed on our YouTube channel, “St. John’s Lunenburg”, where all recorded services are archived
