World Day of Prayer :
On Friday, March 5th at St. Thomas’ Church at 1:30p.m. All parishioners
welcome! This year’s service has been written by the women of Cameroon.
Through World Day of Prayer, women affirm their faith in Jesus Christ
and become aware of the whole world; are enriched by the faith
experience of Christians of other countries and cultures; share the
burdens of other people and pray with them and for them; become aware of
their own talents and use them in the service of God’s world.
Announcement from Fr. David:
I met with the wardens and shared with them news that I am sharing with
the parish this morning. After a period of considerable prayer and
reflection, I have accepted a new appointment within the Diocese of
Toronto and will be concluding my ministry at St. Thomas’ at the end of
May.... click

What it means to be a ChristianChristian life is lived in relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and in common with other Christians in the church seeking to deepen that relationship and to follow the way that Jesus taught.
For Christians God is understood and known as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Father God is love, caring for creation and for
every human being as God's beloved child.
Son God is as he has revealed himself to be in the
historical person of Jesus Christ. Jesus' life, death and resurrection holds the key
to knowing and loving God, and to making sense of life, before and after death.
and Holy Spirit God is alive, loving and active
today, inspiring faith, justice and truth, sustaining the life of the world, giving
spiritual gifts to the church and bearing his spiritual fruit in the world - changed
lives and a transformed society.
