WHO WE ARE AS A PARISH
All Saints’ Anglican Parish is a caring church family that worships God in reverence and wonder. We serve God and our neighbours through music, liturgy, support, and outreach.
The All Saints’ Parish family is caring,
generous and appreciative,
and invites you to join us for worship!
We are located at the intersection of Vidal Street North and Charlotte Street in Sarnia in a large High Victorian structure that is treasured. Our parish was formed through the amalgamation of St George’s, Sarnia; St John’s, Sarnia; and Christ Church, Corunna.
Our Sunday energy is focused on our worship services at 8:00 a.m., which is a traditional-language said-service, and at 10:30 a.m., which is a choral service. We enjoy fellowship during our coffee hour after the second service. Our worship is directed towards learning to know and be aware of God’s love, which is available to us through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice at Calvary, and God’s acceptance of His sacrifice for us by raising him from the dead.
Through the rest of the week, our energy is focused on activities that provide opportunities for parishioners and outside friends to increase our bonding in God’s love through work and play together through such activities as Bible study, a walking club, a book club, card and board games, and workshops on topics of interest to the congregation. An important part of our parish life is to provide outreach and support to the community, most notably through our work with the Inn of the Good Shepherd.

JOINT SERVICES TO BE HELD
ALL SAINTS’ WELCOMES
OUR FELLOW ANGLICANS
Sunday 24 November
All Saints’ will be welcoming the parishioners of Canon Davis Memorial, St Bartholomew’s and St Paul’s Point Edward as we journey down the road to discerning the possibility of a future together. In response to the call from the Bishop to investigate the possibility of a realignment of our parishes, Archdeacon Longmoore met with our respective priests and members of the parishes to set a schedule for joint worship through to and possibly including January. The first such joint service will take place at All Saints’ this Sunday. Should you have any questions or wish to inform the church that you will be attending, feel free to leave a message on our answering machine at 519.344.5167. The photo below is a reminder of how well we work together at joint events. We look forward to hosting you this Sunday!

A SUCCESSFUL BAZAAR!
CHRISTMAS BAZAAR
Held on Saturday 2 November
from 9:00 a.m. until noon
Our annual Christmas Bazaar was, once again, a fabulous success. The weather was co-operative, our team was enthusiastic, and the crowd that was waiting outside the door for 9:00 to arrive was eager to support us. By 9:10, we were already sold out of Malcolm’s much sought-after Welsh cakes. Shopping was brisk and happy customers cheerfully carried their treasures to their cars. Our tea room was continually full with thirsty shoppers waiting in line for an empty table. Spirits were high as shoppers visited all of the tables all the while looking for that one special item to take home. All in all, the day was a complete success, with visitors remarking on their way out that they look forward to Bazaar 2025. Although everyone at All Saints’ put his or her heart into this event, special thanks are offered to Convenor Barb on a job very well done. Three cheers!
