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, cards and board games, Bible crossword, 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.

DECK THE HALLS … !
All Saints’ is ready for the Christmas Season
A hardy and festive group of volunteers joined the hard-working Altar Guild on Friday 13 December for the fun activity of decorating the nave, the chancel, and the chapel for the upcoming Christmas season. Heartfelt thanks are extended to this intrepid group that comes out year after to make our church look cozy and festive. Be sure to have a look at the beautiful crèche scene in the St John’s altar and at some decorations that have not been used in years! And now, below, is a sneak preview of our beautiful nave. O come, o come…
CHRISTMAS FEAST
CHRISTMAS FEAST
Friday 6 December
By all accounts, this year’s Christmas Feast was even greater success than was last year’s, and those who attended last year’s feast were absolutely certain that it would not be possible to top it! Well, it was topped! Extreme congratulations are offered to all those hard-working souls who slaved for days on end in the kitchen preparing the delicious meal that was ravenously devoured by all hungry and grateful crowd. A wonderful time was had by one and all as the evening progressed, with the singing and merriment only adding to the enjoyment of the meal. The photos below offer a glimpse of the enjoyment that was the theme of the evening.
