What is it like?
We are an open and inclusive community, and have people in our midst from all backgrounds and a variety of ages. We strive to provide safe space for ALL people to explore their own faith - rooted in acceptance, scripture and the love and peace of God which surpasses all understanding. Eeach week we gather for worship in the Anglican tradition. Sometimes it is led by clergy and sometimes by our lay leaders, but always grounded in scripture, music as we hear God speaking to us today through the Word.
Our services have an air of informality that allow parents and children to come and go with ease. Our community welcomes particiation of all ages in our worship and our presit regularly looks for opportunities to create space for children in worship. Outside of our services, we have recently engaged with a local daycare who uses our buildings during the week to care for children from the wider community!
We have ample parking on site, although once you arrive it can be a bit of a maze to find your way to the church as the parkinglot is on the far side of the building! When you arrive find yourself a space, and come in through the RED door by the big ENTRANCE sign painted on the wall. Come on inside and follow down the hallway to the door at the side hallway to the left. This opens to a little covered walkway where you will find the Entry to St. Edmunds! If you come and get a little lost - feel free to ask anyone you see along the way as there are usually folks in the kitchen and hall setting up for coffee and fellowship and they are always ready to help!
What do I wear?
Come as you are, be who you are. Being fairly informal we really don't mind what you wear, we are just so glad you are thinking of joining us.
