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.

Rev. Jillian Ruch, Curate, St. Bride's
When we look at Biblical Faith vs Biblical hope.....what we learned from our first reading was that we can't have true hope if we don't have faith.
God will walk with us and help up along with our faith in our spiritual journeys. We need to remember that faith doesn't equal 90/100 believe, but can be as low as 51/100 - believing more than we don't. Rev Jillian shared her personal story of how God upheld her and built her faith through an experience with a tree in the Credit Valley. Please feel free to ask her anytime! She loves to tell this story!
