Welcome To St. Martin’s
St. Martin’s warmly invites you to come and be a part of our community as we journey together to grow as people of God, following the life and teachings of Jesus and inspired by the Spirit. We are an open-hearted and open-minded community that comes together to know and love God and one another, and to live that love in the world. Our worship is rooted in the Anglican tradition (shaped by both Protestant and Roman Catholic influences) and offers services that are drawn from traditional and contemporary sources. We read the Scripture, pray, share the bread and wine of Holy Communion, and reach out with compassion to the world around us. We celebrate our life in Christ Jesus and are a people of hope, trusting that God is working in us and through us. Whoever you are, whatever your spiritual path (lifelong Christian, seeking, spiritual but not religious, agnostic…), you are welcome and we will be blessed by your presence.
DUE TO COVID-19, ALL WORSHIP SERVICES ONSITE ARE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. WE ARE WORKING ON OUR RE-OPENING PLAN NOW. PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
Our hew home! After 20 years, St. Martin’s has a new permanent home. Please read more about it on the “Our New Home” tab. Renovations are underway, and we are looking forward to being a place of worship, community and service in our new neighbourhood and beyond.
SERVICES:
Sunday services now via zoom. Starting on September 20, we will have a live zoom service at 10:00 am. It will have instrumental music and a short children’s time. The service isn’t quite morning prayer and it isn’t quite a Holy Eucharist Liturgy, but something in-between. COVID-times make for new creations! The service will look very much like a usual Sunday liturgy and will include a blessing of bread and wine. Watch for the zoom link in the weekly Friday parish email. If you are not on that list and would like to attend, please email the rector at natasha.stmartins@telus.net and you will be sent the zoom invitation.
If you missed the zoom service or prefer to listen to it later, click the link directly below for a recording of the service.
