About Our Sunday Services

At St. Bride's, you can expect worship that is rooted in the Anglican tradition and enlivened by contemporary and relevant perspectives.  We hope you can join us in person for one of our two Sunday services. We live stream our 10am service, and keep an archive of service and sermon recordings on our website.

Our 8:30 a.m. service is a traditional, smaller, quieter service. This service includes the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), and a time for Holy Communion.

Our 10 a.m. service is a larger, more contemporary family service. We use the Book of Alternative Services (BAS), there is more music than the 8:30 a.m. service, and includes The Good News Club (Sunday school) for children.
 
Meeting new people at church can be hard. And as much as we want you to feel comfortable and welcome, we don’t always know if someone is here for the first time. Please let our greeters know if this is your first time as you enter, or if you’re looking to connect.

After the 10 a.m. service, we gather to catch up with each other over coffee in the Fellowship room at the back of the church. This is a great way to meet others. Please join us! We would love to see you and get to know you.

Sermon - March 12, 2023 10am (for the full service click here)

Rev. Jillian Ruch, Curate, Church of St. Bride



Rev. Jillian challenged us to push our boundaries! Also to think of someone who is maybe on the fringe of our friendship group or someone that we know that could use a friend. Through the meeting of the Samaritan women, we were reminded who Jesus told us God loves - EVERYONE! Jesus was attempting to mend the boundaries between the Samaritans and Jewish people with this purposeful and intentional meeting at the well.

Bishop Jenny Andison



At Rev. Jillian Ruch's Ordination to the priesthood, Bishop Jenny shared about how we as Christians can act in subversive activity (counter cultural ways) in God's name.  This was based on the quote from C. S. Lewis that "Christianity is the story of how the Rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage". 

Bishop Jenny shared that Jesus head a heart for the helpless and harassed.  He wants us to work into those spaces, in the language that can be heard in the cultural times and to work compassionately.  Definitely a mission that can be dangerous but in God's name.

Grace Terrett, Guest Speaker



Grace Terrett expanded our thinking on the "most famous bible quote" John 3:16.  Grace reminded us that it is with God's love that he sent His son to die for us.  That faith is relational and that we are in relationship with God through his acts and our faith.

Ruthia Pak Regis, Guest Speaker


Last Sunday, we had the pleasure of hearing Ruthia Pak Regis share about her faith and her art come together in her paintings.

Ruthia reminded us about how God can speak through using art to connect with us differently.  This Lenten season, consider looking at different modes of art, listening, watching and seeing something you may not have seen before - something God might be saying to you through that piece. 

The Crossings Exhibition book will be in the library to peruse.

Sermon - Feb. 12, 2023 (for the full service click here)

Canon Stephen Peake, Rector, Church of St. Bride

In Canon Stephen's sermon, he leaned into "Life giving choices". He raised from the readings that we need to: 1) Choose justice over injustice; 2) Choose who has our allegiance; and 3) Choose how we respond. With these choices, Jesus in the "Sermon on the Mount" which was partially read on Sunday, helps us to recognize some of the ways that we do not choose wisely in the ways mentioned above.

“The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building" 1 CORINTHIANS 3:8-9
