The AbbeyChurch is a ministry of Emmaus; a Sunday afternoon worshiping community with 'open-table' communion and children/youth programming (most weeks) which is run by the Emmaus Community. Whoever you are, we invite you to visit or even consider making the AbbeyChurch your 'home' place of worship. We gather on Sundays at 4pm (every other week in the summer) and have a potluck about once a month after worship. More details here.
The Emmaus Community / the AbbeyChurch are an ecumenical shared ministry of The Anglican Church of Canada and The United Church of Canada.
