Welcome…
to the official home page of the St. John’s Seventh-day Adventist Church. We hope you find this website helpful in learning more about us. So, take a look around and be sure to mark your calendar for our next service. We’d love to meet you!
In keeping with current government guidelines around gatherings and events,all our worship services and activities at the church are cancelled until further notice.
The only exception is that for now, our "soup kitchen" time slot on Sundays (5-6 pm, April 5 and 19) will go ahead, but instead of serving a meal we will have volunteers available to give out a few items from our food pantry to those in need. We will attempt to do this with as little direct contact as possible and only one person at a time will be allowed into the building to collect food items.
Announcements relevant to church members, and some Sabbath morning online worship activities, are being shared on our church's private Facebook group, which you can request to join. Message this page for more information if needed. We pray that all our members and friends will remain safe and well during these difficult times.
Important Message to the St. John’s Members and all Attendees
After careful consideration, as per recommendation from the North American Division, the Seventh-day Adventist Church In Canada, and the Mission Office, we have decided to cancel our Worship Services and mid-week programs until April 4th, 2020 in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
On Sabbath March 21st , and 28th we will be streaming a compact version of our service. This will be found on our social media platforms. Stay tuned as more updates are shared in the coming days. If you are unable to access this, you are encouraged to find Adventist presentations on the internet for your Sabbath worship experience.
We are encouraging everyone to consult our church website for the giving of tithes and offering. This is an important time for us to practice systematic giving. This means that your giving is not based on your physical presence.
In midst of crisis, let us remember that our omnipotent and omnipresent heavenly Father truly watches over His children. We are assured that God will continue to keep us in His protective care as we know “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever” Hebrews 13:8.
Sincerely,
Pastor Jamie Joseph
