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, November 26 At our house, we have been without a sink and faucet in our kitchen for three weeks now, and it’s been a challenge. I am not suggesting that not having a functioning kitchen sink is in any way comparable to the struggles of people in communities with no access to clean water, or at least not without routine boiling of every single drop or a daily trek to a common well. We are blessed and privileged with... Read more »

Joanne’s Thought & Prayer for the Day

Tuesday, November 24 One month from today will be December 24th – Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve marks the end of Advent. Advent will begin this Sunday, November 29th. Advent is the beginning of the liturgical year in the Christian calendar. I googled the word “advent” and found two definitions – both from a Latin word. The first is the Latin word adventus and means “coming” while the second word is advenio which means “to come to.” Advent is the time... Read more »

Fr. Geoff’s Thought & Prayer for the Day

November 19, 2020 How do geese know to fly south in winter? To be ready to migrate in the autumn, geese start preparing in midsummer. Babies born in the spring are mostly grown up by then. Adult geese grow a new set of plumage after shedding their old feathers (a process called molting) – mostly over the golf courses I play on! They need flight and body feathers to be in good condition for the long flight ahead and to insulate... Read more »

Arleane’s Thought & Prayer for the Day

Tuesday, November 17 Every Sunday morning, at our house, we start up our various devices and “open” All Saints for digital worship. In the early spring, we as a congregation were worshipping entirely online through the first wave and shutdown of the pandemic.  At Pentecost, Father Geoff was able to re-enter the chancel, and he presided from there (with Adriaan and Amanda providing musical support) for the rest of us on Zoom. In September, in-church worship was allowed, and we... Read more »

Advent Oasis on Zoom

This Advent will be so very different, but conditions are such that we can explore a new and intimate Advent observance. Each Wednesday night in Advent, we’re hosting a sweet-and-simple zoom service to light a candle, join in prayer, and share in the wonder of this season. The Rev. Jennifer Schick and lay leaders Jacky, Joanne, and Arleane will each take a turn hosting these 20-minute sessions. Please join online with your family and friends as we renew our hearts...

Christmas Hamper Annual Appeal

The All Saints’ Christmas Hamper Ministry has, for over 50 years, worked with partner churches to ensure that low income families in our community are able to share the special blessings of the Christmas season. This year is no exception, and while the Hampers will look a bit different this year, they will still be much appreciated. As always, we rely on your generous support to bring this Ministry to life. Here’s how you can help: DONATE CASH OR GIFT... Read more »

Our Second “Growing Together” series will be offered on Tuesday evenings at 7:15-8:30 pm on November 3, 10, 17 and 24, via Zoom. The theme will be Bad Girls of the Bible.
