elcome to St Peter & St Paul’s Anglican Church! We’re so glad you’ve joined us for worship today. For 130 years people have gathered here, at the corner of Metcalfe and Gloucester streets to hear the Good News of what God has accomplished for us in Jesus Christ, to worship, to share life together, and to be sent out in mission. During the school year, we provide nursery care and junior church for our children up through grade six. However, during the summer, we invite our children to remain during our 10:30 am service and to come to the front pew for a short sermon, which will be preached with them in mind. The nursery is not staffed but remains open for the use of families with children ages 3 and under. If you are a guest today, please stay for coffee after the service to find out more about who we are. Make sure to check out our website (peterpaulottawa.com) and subscribe to our e-newsletters. We are excited about what God is doing in this place.

Collect ALMIGHTY GOD, give us the hope, and love; and, so that we You have promised, make us command; through Jesus Christ

increase of faith, may obtain what love what You our Lord. Amen.
