Welcome to St. Simeon's
Thank you to the Rotary Apartments
Thank you to the residents and management of the Rotary Apartments for hosting our Lenten Bible study again this year. It has provided a wonderful opportunity to create a community in such a welcoming atmosphere. Many thanks to those who prepared the lounge and to those who attended faithfully. We were very encouraged by an attendance of about 20 people each week - folks from the apartments and from our local churches.
Some History
Some historical documents for you to read:
St. Simeon's celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1980, two years following the actual date in 1878 when the first resident clergyman (the Rev. H. J. Evans) was appointed to the Parish. A booklet was created in 1980 to celebrate the anniversary and included in this booklet was a brief history of the Parish and a description of the activities and groups in the church at the time. At the time of the celebration of the 100th Anniversary, the Rev. Trevor Jones was our incumbent. I remember that there was a big dinner and a special Sunday service with many local dignitaries and clergy present. (Click on History and description to see these documents)
Family Services
On the Third Sunday of each month, St. Simeon's offers a Family Service for people of all ages. These services offer a relaxed format of Service of the Word, featuring guitar-led music and lay-led worship (with the support of Rev'd Nick Brotherwood, our Priest-in-charge).
We are very thankful for the ministry of Gordon McPhee, who not only plans these services, but also leads the singing and offers his thoughtful homilies to those who attend. There is a strong team of lay leaders who also take part in this joyous service of worship to God.
This Family service will be held on the third Sunday of each month at 10 am. All are welcome.
St. Simeon's has a new sign!
Thanks to Darren Prentice for creating and installing this beautiful new sign in front of our church. Thank you Darren for your creativity and for your resourcefulness. Our thanks also go to Marion Hodge, who painted the small replica of the church. We are very grateful. For pictures, please click on Read More
