Who We Are and What We Offer
Map, e-mail and phone number Rooted in the Community
Established in 1832, St. John's has played an
important part in the life of Bowmanville. We offer a tradition
of
solid values and biblical vision to meet the needs of a busy, modern
world.
We are proud of our history, but our focus is on the present and the
future.
Our Style and Philosophy
We believe that church should be enjoyable.
At St. John's we help people to make sense of their lives and provide
practical
guidance for living good times.
An informal celebration of worship is offered Sundays
at 10:00 a.m. in an easy-to-follow format. People of all ages
are welcome to participate in worship and learning and serving.
Our 10:00 a.m. service includes uplifting
music and message, and special programs for children and pre-school
ages
up to and including high school. Refreshments follow the morning
service.
Variety of Worship
In a noisy world there is a place of stillness
to meditate and collect one's thoughts. A service of Holy
Communion
from the Book of Common Prayer (1962) is said each Sunday at 8:00
a.m.
The church is open at other times for silence and payer. Our Wednesday
midweek service is at 9:30 a.m. (September to June.)
Praise and Worship
Several times a year we present an evening of
praise and worship with a dynamic guest speaker on a timely
topic.
The ministry of healing is offered at these special services and each
Sunday
morning. God's power changes lives.
For Newcomers... We offer a membership
course called "Connections." It's offered after our 10 o'clock
services
on Sunday or in a weekday evening format.
