All Saints'

for all ages, for all times, for everyone. See yourself here.

In response to the current COVID-19 outbreak, worship services have been suspended until further notice. The church building is closed, but we continue to find ways to worship and glorify God. See the latest messages from Fr. Geoff and our leadership team, as well as the Sunday liturgy and other resources  on our Together Apart page.

All Saints’ Church is a growing, Christ-centred community that seeks
to share the message of God’s love and put faith into action.

The Anglican community of All Saints has been meeting, working, and worshipping in the heart of Whitby since 1866. As a place of worship, we are older than Canada; as a people of faith, we strive constantly to be fresh, responsive, and forward-thinking in our relationship with God and in our care for others.

On Sunday mornings, we offer a quiet and contemplative communion service at 8:00am; a relaxed and informal service with piano, contemporary songs, and shortened, seeker-friendly liturgy at 9:30am; and a classic Anglican service with choral music, organ at 11:00am. Sunday School is offered at the 9:30am service.

Why not come by on a Sunday morning?

Visiting for the first time?

 

Music

The music of All Saints’ encompasses traditional cathedral music, choral arrangements of contemporary praise choruses, familiar Anglican and English-language hymns, as well as a number of popular new hymn texts and tunes. Typically the services include four or five songs that we sing together, as well as some other musical offerings (acoustic guitars or soloists) or an anthem by the Chancel Choir. The high ceiling and open space of our church make for excellent acoustics for choral and congregational singing. The main instruments used in worship are a 2000-pipe organ, originally built in 1935 … Read More »

Children & Youth

All Saints’ strives to provide an easy and comfortable experience for children (and the adults who bring them). That may mean children working in the pew with one of our specially-made activity packs*, toddling in the aisle, or joining in our Nursery, Sunday School, or youth program. We want children to enjoy their place in the church and the place of the church in their lives. Sunday School is offered at the 9:30am service for children ages 3 and up. Just after the opening hymn, children are invited to meet our Sunday School teachers by the pulpit and make their way to the parish hall. … Read More »

Learning

Learning is a lifelong activity. Ongoing learning is an important element of our spiritual lives. At All Saints’ we provide spiritual growth and learning opportunities for people of all ages. Of course the mainstay of our teaching is the weekly sermons, but we also have the following: Small Study Groups: Several groups run at various times throughout the year, including a book club, movie club, weekly Bible Study, and a summer “walk & learn” group, as well as special-topic study and discussion groups that meet in people’s homes and follow a set curriculum. Seasonal Studies: During … Read More »

Community

All Saints’ is actively involved in a variety of ministries and programs in our neighbourhood, town, and region. We are mindful that many families and individuals in our area struggle every day with food insecurity, health issues, isolation or alienation, and worries over job availability or housing. We feel called by the Spirit and Christ’s example to share our time and resources with those whose day-to-day needs are as much material and physical as they are spiritual. To that end, our church operates a “Deacon’s Food Cupboard,” a small permanent food bank that helps over 180 families … Read More »

On a Sunday

Worship is central to life at All Saints’.

The vision that shapes our time together on a Sunday is simple:
we focus on God and we leave with a greater sense of hope and joy.

Our services are shaped by Anglican tradition and tailored to be relevant to your daily life and spiritual journey.

Come see where that hope and joy comes from

Arleane’s Thought & Prayer for the Day

Thursday, May 28 Last week I very nearly forgot to do my assigned Thought and Prayer of the Day. Some of you may have noticed it was posted rather late in the evening on Thursday. It’s so not like me to miss a deadline … at least, not under normal conditions. But in these present days, I find I am forgetting any number of things. I forgot to pay last month’s Visa bill, forgot to put the garbage out mid-week,... Read more »

Gary’s Thought & Prayer for the Day

Tuesday, May 26 One of the things that most doctoral students quickly learn in their quest to broaden the existing body of knowledge in their field of study is to set out to achieve a small, rather than a monumental, addition to what now exists within their chosen realm. A sobering “reality check” is typically accomplished at the start of one’s studies by a deep engagement in the existing academic literature and research. This typically results in several peer-reviewed sources... Read more »

All Saints and Thy Kingdom Come 2020

From Ascension Day to Pentecost (May 21-31), we are joining together with Christians around the world in Thy Kingdom Come, the global wave of prayer for more people to come to know Jesus Christ. Please visit our Prayer Life page for daily prompts for things you can do, as an individual or in a family group, over the next ten days. All allow for social distancing and most can can be done without leaving your home. If you like, you... Read more »

Arleane’s Thought & Prayer for the Day

Thursday, May 21 Ascension Day Growing up in the United Church of Canada, I don’t remember Ascension Day being a significant moment in the liturgical schedule. Perhaps that was just United Church thing; since the early twentieth century, increasingly fewer Protestant congregations have observed such feast days in the Christian calendar. Or it could have just been that such commemorations did not capture the attention of a small-town teenager who by definition was programmed to reject anything with a whiff... Read more »

Joanne’s Thought & Prayer for the Day

Thursday, May 14 Today is St. Matthias the Apostle day.  Who is Matthias and why does he have his own day? According to the book of Acts, Matthias was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot after Judas had betrayed Jesus.  The criteria to be able to take over this role was (1) needed to be a disciple from the beginning of Jesus’ ministry and (2) be baptized by John. We don’t read anything more about Matthias and historians give conflicting accounts... Read more »
