Gratitude

It Is Well With My Soul

Harvest Thanksgiving

Deuteronomy 8:7-18, 2 Corinthians 9:6-15

Preached by on

“Let us give thanks to you, Lord, for it is right to give our thanks and praise.” Giving Thanks When Things are Good Across the country, people are giving thanks this weekend for all the good things they have been given.

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.
