One of the first ways we as a church live into our work of truth, healing, and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples is to respectfully acknowledge that we are settlers on the land where St. John’s Church resides.  

For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples have walked on this land; their relationship with the land is at the centre of their lives and spirituality. We gather on the traditional territory of several Indigenous peoples, including the Neutrals, the Mississauga, the Anishnaabe and the Haudenosaunee.  May we who dwell on this land be good stewards and honour those who came before us and share it still.

Another part of our roll as a church is to educate ourselves on the history and current context of First Nations people in this land.

May God the Creator be with us, Jesus Christ direct us, and the Holy Spirit empower us in our journey!

We worship in a sacramental way, meaning that Holy Communion (Eucharist) is the fundamental part of our Sunday gatherings.
