Worship

There is a genuine sense of community and inclusion at St. Andrew and St. George.  The parish encompasses a range of ages from preschool to seniors.  While we are a liturgical church, there is a warm and relaxed feeling to our services.

Worship services are at 8:00 am and 10:00 am on Sunday during most of the year.  During July and August the 8 and 10 a.m. Congregations join together in one Sunday service at 9:00 AM with music.

We have a Sunday School, and after the “children’s time” with Rev. Neil at the front of the church, the young children are dismissed downstairs for their own time of learning while the adults listen to the sermon.  Sunday School has recently taken a more child-centred and innovative approach which has been very successful.

We are the only church in town that rings its bell!  The bell is dedicated to Father “Pat” Henry Irwin, the church’s founder (1896).

8:00 AM Sunday

The 8:00 AM Sunday service uses the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) and has music one Sunday a month.  This service is attended by mainly senior parishioners, averaging 15-20 weekly. The service is quieter with a more reflective mood.

10:00 A.M. Sunday

The 10:00 Sunday service uses the Book of Alternative Services (BAS) and features music every Sunday. This service is attended by people of all ages, averaging 50 people weekly. It has a more energetic feel to it and has instrumental music with choir and congregational singing. This service is followed by a coffee fellowship.
