Sunday Services
Our Sunday worship services strive to provide a spiritual experience in which you will be comforted and renewed. Everyone is welcome at our services. Children are valued members of our church and are welcome during the time of worship. We aim to create a caring and sharing environment for children. There’s time for “coffee” and chat in Fellowship Hall before each service.
Baptisms
The sacrament of baptism is the right of initiation into the Christian community. It is an act of welcoming, blessing and belonging. It signifies that God’s love surrounds us from the moment we’re born and continues through the rest of our lives. Our church is pleased to do this initiation for infants, children, teens and adults. Baptisms usually take place during regular Sunday morning worship services. Baptism in the United Church is recognized by all denominations of the Christian faith. Similarly, we recognize the baptisms of people from other churches. Persons baptized at St. John’s will receive a certificate and the baptism will be recorded in our church registry. At our church, baptism is open to all people committed to the life of faith. For more information or to make arrangements, contact our minister or church secretary HERE.
Weddings
The United Church believes God intends loving relationships to be faithful, responsible, just, healing, and sustaining of the couple and those around them. The United Church celebrates the marriage of all people who believe in love and want to live faithfully, regardless of their orientation. Our goal is to work with you to ensure your wedding is meaningful and memorable. Fees for weddings have been set by our church board. The use of the organist is to be negotiated separately with the musician. The church hall and kitchen can be booked for receptions. For more information or to make arrangements, contact our minister or church secretary HERE.
Funerals
Our church is committed to compassionately helping you through your difficult time of loss. We can offer spiritual care to the bereaved and help families and friends celebrate the life of a departed loved one. We believe the participation of family members in planning the service and arrangements is essential. Our mission is to facilitate a comforting experience during this challenging time. Services are most often conducted in the church sanctuary, but other arrangements can be made. The church hall and kitchen can be booked for receptions.
