HAS YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION CHANGED? 

We are in the process of updating our  Parish List and we realize that over the past couple of years many people have moved house, given up their land line or changed their email address, and the contact information we have for you may not be up to date.  Having the correct phone numbers and addresses for our parishioners is always important but is especially necessary for our Joyful Giving Campaign. So please contact the office (office@nullallsaintswhitby.org/ 905-668-5101 ex. 23) if any of your information has changed so our list is accurate.  Thank you. 

You can also submit contact information via All Saints Contact Information form.

The Gospel stories may skip over much of the time between his birth and adult life, but even Jesus was a teenager once. He knew what it was like to have outgrown childish things but not yet be fully grown. It’s a period where you need guidance and support to become who you’re truly meant to be. That’s what we try to provide in our Youth Group, which has been meeting on a monthly basis for about two years since it began on Zoom during the pandemic.

We spend a lot of our time talking, and eating, just like Jesus and his disciples did. We also deepen our faith by reading Gospels and bringing some of its themes to life through games and activities that get everyone moving. We aren’t afraid to act silly occasionally. We laugh — a lot.

And of course we pray, and try to remind our teens that even in a world when they might occasionally feel alone, God is there listening and working through them.

There are about a dozen of us and we’re always open to new members aged 12 or older, and we’re excited to continue integrating our teens with other ministries and the parish community as a whole. For more information, let the office know you’re interested in connecting with leader,  Shane or Blake. .

Blessing of the Garden:

Eternal Father, maker of heaven and earth, we bless you and give you glory for all the gifts you have given us. Receive all we offer you this day. Bless these seeds, and make them fruitful. Look upon our work this season, and grant that the seeds we plant will produce plentiful crops, providing food and work for many. In your love, give us favorable weather throughout this growing season. Make us truly grateful for all our gifts, and willing to share our goods and talents with others, especially those without adequate food. All praise and glory are yours, almighty Father, through your Son Jesus Christ, In the unity of the Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Kilometre of Coins – A Fundraising Campaign for our Hamper Program.

Our coin collection continues! We have a new tally chart to show how much money is being raised for the Hamper Program through the collecting of coins as well as other fundraising initiatives, ie Easter chocolates. So far in 2024, we have raised $663!

You can watch the growth of the Hamper Fund for yourself as you enter and exit through the breezeway doors. The chart is on the bulletin board for all to see. Keep those coins coming!
