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.

As summer begins to wind down, and as we turn our focus — as a Parish — to the upcoming Christmas Bazaar, which certainly requires an extreme amount of planning over the next few months. In order to help kick-start this event, this space will be used over the next several weeks to help bring our attention to this key event in the life of All Saints’ Parish.
CHRISTMAS BAZAAR
CHRISTMAS BAZAAR
Saturday 2 November
9:00 a.m. until noon
For the next several weeks, this column will showcase our upcoming bazaar. Our conveners will be looking to begin meeting early in September. Please start thinking of exciting ways to promote our bazaar! Here is one exciting change: We have decided to change the Christmas Table to Seasons Table. It will now sell items for Hallowe’en, Easter, St Valentine’s Day, fall, spring, and so on, in addition to Christmas! Any items that you have that would go on the Seasons Table would be appreciated. Please bring your contributions to the lower door of the church or contact Barb Pajuk.
OUR RECENT ACTIVITIES
CREATIVE WORD
Friday 9 August
Despite it being the dog days of summer, this group of intrepid bibliophiles is still gathering every month on a Friday evening in order to enjoy fellowship, sip wine, enjoy cheese and other nibbles, and, eventually, get around to reading passages from favourite magazines and books. As always, the group spent some time getting caught up on events since last Sunday, and just generally enjoyed each other’s company in a relaxed setting. The photo below is of an earlier gathering at a parishioner’s home. If you haven’t given one of these evenings a try, please come join us next month. You will be warmly welcomed!
BIBLE STUDY
Wednesday 7 August
Much like Bible Crossword, Bible Study is for those who wish to learn more about the Bible in an environment that is both supportive and non-threatening. One does not need to be an “expert” in order to participate. This is an enjoyable and relaxing, yet educational, activity for those who are interested in learning a bit more about the Bible without having to enrol in Huron College. This activity takes place on Wednesdays as advertised in the announcement page. If you are curious about this event, please feel free to join us. You will most assuredly be warmly welcomed.
THE SLICE
Friday 26 July
On Friday, a small but dedicated group of singers gathered for dinner at five o’clock at John’s Restaurant on London Line and then headed back to the church for a hymn sing around 6:30. Reservations having been made, a table was set up and waiting for this hungry crowd of singers. This fun activity is suitable for all those who enjoy fellowship, eating, and singing beautiful hymns. As always, the more, the merrier, so if you are interested, please feel free to join in the good food, witty conversation, wholesome fellowship, and wonderful hymn-singing!
TUESDAY WALK & LUNCH
Tuesday 23 July
Just like every Tuesday unless the weather is thoroughly catastrophic, a small but intrepid group of walkers assembles in the parking lot off Christina Street North and sets out on a wonderful hike through the park. To be honest, some choose to hike and others choose to gently amble, but fellowship is enjoyed by all. After the hike/amble, the group then moves on to a local restaurant for lunch, which is always timed to begin at 12:15 p.m. If you would like to join us for lunch, please let the office know by noon on Friday so that reservations can be made and so that you can be told which restaurant will be the venue. Click here to be taken to the photos page for this event. The photos below are of the group enjoying the walk and the after-walk meal. All are welcome to join us!
