At All Saints, we have entered into a season of transition as we seek a new permanent priest to lead our services and inspire us in the work of being church in the 21st century. We give thanks to God for the Rev. Geoff Lloyd, our Associate Priest, who  will serve as priest-in-charge in the interim. We are blessed to be able to enjoy his capable leadership and generous spirit in this new role.

From within our midst, we have also formed a parish selection committee (PSC), a group of 8 individuals representative of our congregation who will, under the guidance of our Area Bishop and a Diocesan coach, discern who we are as a parish, what we hope to achieve as church in the next few years, and what individual God is preparing to be our Incumbent in the near future. We give thanks for their servant hearts and we commit to supporting their work in prayer as we continue to engage in meaningful ministry and outreach here at All Saints.

“This church acknowledges being on the traditional territories of …”

At the opening of our Sunday worship on June 18,  Cecile Wagar, Senator of the Oshawa and Durham Region Metis Council, led the congregation in a ceremony to dedicate a stone and plaque that acknowledges the Mississaugas of Scugog Island, the Iroquoian-speaking Wendat, and the 1923 Williams Treaties First Nations as the traditional owners of the land on which the church now stands and has done for 151 years. The indigenous lands marker is a symbol of All Saints’ ongoing commitment to pursuing truth, justice, reconciliation and healing for the children of God.

The All Our Relations Metis Drum Circle provided drumming and spiritual music of First Nations and Metis heritage, and the congregation processed to the front lawn and formed a circle around the stone marker for a smudging and blessing ceremony. The smudging feather and bowl were returned to the chancel steps for the service, filling the sanctuary with the scent of cedar, sage and tobacco as the Canon Vail delivered a moving homily on the Gospel call to pursue justice and the wholeness of the human family, so that we all might live in right relationships with each other and with the Creator.

Creator God,
from you every family in heaven and earth takes its name.
You have rooted and grounded us
in your covenant love,
and empowered us by your Spirit
to speak the truth in love,
and to walk in your way towards justice and wholeness.
Mercifully grant that your people,
journeying together in partnership,
may be strengthened and guided
to help one another to grow into the full stature  of Christ,
who is our light and our life. Amen
