Creation

The Water of Life

World Day of Prayer

Genesis 1:1-31; Ezekiel 47

Preached by on

Creation in Genesis starts with a rush and a splash - water, everywhere - pure, good, clean water, and the Spirit of God hovered over it.

St. Mary and St. Martha

The Anglican Church of St. Mary and St. Martha is a joyful, growing, and diverse community of faith where we together are learning what it means to follow Jesus in the west end of Toronto.

We build on the history and deep roots of four previous Anglican churches in the area: St. John, Weston; The Church of the Good Shepherd, Mt Dennis; St. David Lawrence Av; and The Church of the Advent.

We are truly seeing God doing something new - in our lives, our families, our church and our neighbourhood and we invite you to take part in this too.
