There’s a nursery for parents to do baby care;
and a during-worship surpervised program for young children.
The accessible building has an entry ramp,
wheelchair washroom,

You are invited to seek God’s peace and presence in this place.
Are you curious? what happens in our worship time?
we sing

we think
we ponder
we laugh
we hope
then we head into the cafe to chat together with a mug of coffee or tea, and homemade cookies (regularly includes gluten-free).
As Christians, we value worship, friendship, and Jesus.
We like cookies just because everybody likes cookies.

What people are saying …
“There’s just something about this place.”
”I felt God’s presence so vividly.”
“The welcome and first prayer is beautiful and prepares my heart to worship.”
“The praise team with vocalists, guitars, djembe, and piano is uplifting; it’s inspiring to sing in this church.”
“It is important to me to understand things, even more complex stuff like the Christian faith. Here at St John, it’s obvious that we can think through things together.”
Mission Statement
To go near and far, sharing the good news of Jesus; living and working so that all may come to know, love, and follow Him wholeheartedly.
Vision Statement:
To transform today’s world by enabling people to live in Christ and for Christ.
Be encouraged by good news:
All over the world, God’s Spirit is stirring up a hunger to seek Him
in people who have never felt that before,
and God is growing a desire for a deeper love and commitment to Jesus in those who already follow Him.
So, as we meander into this springtime, in the midst of any upheaval (personal or otherwise), may we (St John Church) be a surrendered, willing vessel for God to fill with His love and presence, a place where people find Jesus, and, a body that is anchored in the truth of Jesus.
Come,
Lord Jesus, come!
Shape us.
Fill us.
Inspire us.
Send us.
The world is waiting.

This is a solid question: WHY would someone value the Bible?
Tim Mackie (of The Bible Project) speaks to this:
We want God to kindle our hearts.
We seek to know that our Heavenly Father planned that His Son come to visit us, stepping into sandals on the feet of a man named Jesus.
For 33 years, God-in-Jesus was actually right here with us, living on our planet.
… as a …
Babe in a manger
Boy living a village life
Teenager learning carpentry
Mentor to the 12 disciples
Teacher of scriptures
Healer of diseases
Friend to the poor
Man-God on a cross
Saviour, raised from death to life
who returned to Heaven after all that.
This sounds (and frankly is) a lot to take in, and you might be wondering some things. Here’s a link to the BIBLE PROJECT. It’s an awesome spot to learn more no matter where you’re at on your faith journey. This clip explains a bit.
Ladies Night Out
This is always a lovely evening to be together with friends and new friends. Casually chatting at tables over a delicious dinner, and then listening to someone share with the group is an encouragement, always. This go-round, Becky and Dale are going to talk about their trip to the Holy Land in 2023.
If you’re free on Thursday evening, April 30, do come over with a girlfriend to St John for a 6:00 start-time. It’s typically over around 8:00 or 8:30.
Worship matters
to God,
and to me,
and likely to you.
There’s something about being together
in this sanctuary with everyone
singing contemporary worship songs
praying and listening to prayers
being honest and humble
before our God who loves us
as we seek to understand
through scripture reading
and mulling the sermon
each week
…
that in this
worship experience
we might
honour our Heavenly Father
and be open for change
to happen
in our hearts
and
in how we live
as
we
draw
closer
to Jesus
and
as
we

If you live in Hamilton (or nearby), and want to try this United Church experience with us, that would be great.
The service starts at 10:00 AM, and ends around 11:00 / 11:15 AM - depending on the Sunday.
During church, we watch a short inspirational video on our big screen; our Praise Team leads us in singing contemporary songs mixed with hymns; there is a 15 to 20-minute sermon; we pray; then we head into the cafe to chat together with a mug of coffee or tea and homemade cookies (regularly there are GF treats).
It’s so good to talk together as friends, a privilege really, being in-person.
