Welcome to St. John's Anglican Church
St. John's is a part of the Diocese of Niagara in the Anglican Church of Canada.
St. John's Anglican Church is a small, welcoming country church that has served the people of Stewarttown and area since the mid-1800's. Our location is highly visible at the corner of Trafalgar Road and 15th Side Road.
Saint John’s is a compassionate and inclusive community that welcomes all people and honours their stories. We are a congregation that worships and learns together, encouraging each other to grow in love and faith, so that we may each become the greatest person we would hope to be.

Lent Meditation ~ week five
"Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee".
St. Augustine
Coming to a place of rest eludes us when we are caught up in dwelling on past mistakes, working over our regrets, or when we are worrying or trying to micromanage the future. But the time we are spending in the past and future is time we are not spending here and now. Not only are we missing what is right in front of us, even the beating of our own hearts. We can only manage one moment at a time.
So what about committing to being present in the now, a least for a while each day... to do nothing but notice where you are now, to look for the gifts of God in the moment you are inhabiting. Let each moment be the one you are in ... breathe... be human... be grateful.
Ancient Word:
"Surely God is my salvation. I will trust and will not be afraid." (Isaiah 12:2)
* How do these rich and ancient words rise up to meet you in your life in this particular moment?
* Invite / allow these words to echo in the chamber of your heart, your mind, your soul.
* Carry these words with you throughout the day and even into your night, allowing them to seep deeply into you and become part of your very being.
We turn to old words because sometimes it is old words that hold the deepest comfort and the deepest challenge - Padriag O'Tuma

Beloved God, holy and gracious companion throughout the ages, we are:
rooted in the legacy of those who have gone before us,
strengthened by our partnership with all Christ’s disciples who are around us,
growing into the fullness of your Spirit’s gifts to and through us,
