Fourth Sunday of Easter

John 10:1-10; 1 Peter 2:19-25

Preached by on

“The sheep follow [the shepherd] because they know his voice. They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers,” (John 10:4-5).

My favourite park is about one kilometre from our house and on a beautiful sunny day the girls will hop on their scooters and off we go.

Preached by on

“Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?” (John 18:11) Three times now I have witnessed first hand the miracle of childbirth. Witnessed up-close-and-personal.

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.
