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.

Just click on the words “Together Apart” above to get there.

 

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, August 6 Stumped for a starting point from which to launch this week’s Thought & Prayer, I turned to an old (but somewhat questionable) form of randomized discernment, called bibliomancy. It was a form of divination used by the ancient Greeks through the Middle Ages and wildly popular in the sixteenth century. It was primarily focussed on sacred texts, but apparently even English poet Robert Browning divined his feelings about the future Mrs. Browning through bibliomancy, although he purportedly...

Joanne’s Thought & Prayer for the Day

Tuesday, August 4 I think one of the greatest inventions of all time has to be electricity. It is wonderful to walk into a dark room, flip a switch and have a light come on. Have you ever noticed that in a scary movie, the really bad stuff always takes place in the dark? The gospel of John uses light as a metaphor to describe who Jesus is. Jesus makes a total of seven “I am” statements to describe who... Read more »

Arleane’s Thought & Prayer for the Day

Thursday, July 30 Today, for a change of pace, I offer you a stewardship fairy tale, which I wrote in December 1999. It was originally printed in the St John’s, Port Whitby church newsletter, of which I was the editor at the time. It has also appeared in various United Church parish newsletters and UCW leaflets, thanks to my Mom, who has routinely shared it with other church ladies over the years. This is the story of a great city... Read more »

Gary’s Thought & Prayer for the Day

Tuesday, July 28 It is very likely that a majority of you have one or more far-away destinations that you could visit again and again. Perhaps some of you also have a favourite passage from the Bible. I wonder if a select few among you see some link between your destination and the particular chapter or verse in Scripture which together hold a special place close to your heart? If I were to answer the “favourite passage” question, it would... Read more »

Fr. Geoff on Reopening All Saints for Public Worship

Dear Friends in Christ, On June 30, the Diocese of Toronto has issued  statement on the reopening of churches, and  I think it is important that you are all kept up to date on the procedures we need to undertake on the journey towards reopening. The protocols associated with reopening are contained in a 17-page checklist of reopening protocols. The document is long and complicated, and your Churchwardens and Deacons Elect will be meeting with me to produce a simplified... Read more »
