Welcome! Bienvenue!

Please join us for our Service of Truth and Reconciliation on Wednesday, September 30th at 6:00 p.m.

September 30th is Canada’s National Day of Truth and Reconciliation (Orange Shirt Day). This day is dedicated to honouring Indigenous survivors of the residential school system and their families and communities. The Presbyterian church ran some of these schools, so it is particularly relevant for us to reflect on and repent of the harms that were done.

We are honoured that Robert Spade, an Ojibwe musician and teacher at the Schulich School of Music (McGill) will be joining us for this event.

If you have an orange shirt, please wear it!

Move, on Bouge!

To all walkers and cyclists, you are invited to join our “Team A&P” as we help raise money for our friends at Action Réfugiés Montréal! The walk/ride will be held on Saturday, October 3rd. We will meet at the Church of the Epiphany at 4322 rue Wellington in Verdun at 10:00 a.m. You can participate in either a walk (2.5km, 5km) or a bike ride (10km, 20km). If you’re interested in learning more about this event, please contact our team captain Michael Neil at michael.neil@outlook.com. If you would like to join or donate to this cause, you can access our team page here.

Please join us for our 11:00 a.m. worship service

In some places in the Unites States the Ten Commandments are displayed in Public School classrooms. But how relevant, if at all, are they to us in our secular society? Please join us at 11:00 a.m. on World Communion Sunday as we continue to journey through the Book of Exodus with the people of Israel on their way to the Promised Land.

Sermon by The Rev. Dr. Glenn Chestnutt, “The Boundaries of Freedom”

First Lesson: Exodus 20: 1-20
Second Lesson: Matthew 21: 33-46

Scottish Country Dancing is held on Tuesdays from 6:45 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Beginners will dance until 8:15 p.m., with intermediate dancers continuing until 8:50 p.m.

Now is a great time for beginners to join the class because we’ll be focusing on easy dances and reviewing figures and footwork for the first few classes. From September 22nd until October 13th we will host a beginner-focused period.

The cost is $10 cash at the door or $5 for those who join the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society, and we’re dancing to live piano music! No partner or special dress required. Please wear soft-soled shoes or sneakers. Contact Katie Wood to join at katiemkwood@gmail.com and for details on relocation.

We are holding an eight-month deep dive into the Gospel of Matthew! This Bible Study will be led by Rev. Susan Brasier with occasional visiting teachers such as Dr. Ger Olegma (who just published a commentary on the Gospel of Matthew). Embedded within this study will be several “short courses.” For example, in October, we will offer a study on the Sermon on the Mount. We will spend January on the parables.

The Study is held in the Iona Room and is open to everyone. We usually start at 6:00 p.m. with a light meal. The study starts at 6:30 p.m. (Please note that on the third Wednesday of the month when we have the Taizé service, class will start immediately following the service). We conclude by 8:00 p.m. The study is offered hybrid. For questions, contact Rev. Susan at sbrasier@standrewstpaul.com
