Your First Visit to St. Paul’s

VISITING ST. PAUL’S FOR THE FIRST TIME?

Our Sunday Worship Service is at 10:15 a.m.

There are two entrances into the building.. The north door (the door facing Speers Rd.) is the accessible entrance.. The door on the south side, behind the building, is where most people park for worship. There are stairs up to the entrance. 

IS THE CHURCH ON A BUS ROUTE?

Yes. Oakville Transit stops at 1060 Speers Rd, which is the medical centre next door. We are a two minutes walk from this stop.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE THERE?

About 60-70, except in summer (and we won't ask you to stand up and introduce yourself!).

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Come dressed comfortably. Some of our members still wear suits and dresses, but most are casual and jeans are acceptable. You - not your clothes - are important to us.

ONCE INSIDE, WHAT HAPPENS?

Look for our greeters or ushers, stationed inside the church doors. They will happily direct you to the sanctuary for worship. We have a dedicated staff person to care for young children as needed. We also have a Sunday School that provides programming for children, 3 and up. There are also activity packets for children who remain through the service

We have two choirs that do a wonderful job of leading us in song and praising God with their music, an adult choir and a children's choir.

Our music director and the congregation are blessed with a keyboard and a grand piano made by Steinway. We also have many musicians in the congregation that share their talents.

Children are always welcome to be in worship with their families. Alternatively, after our first hymn, we have programming for children age 3 to grade 6. On some Sundays, there is also programming for Grade 7 and up.

Communion is usually celebrated on the first Sunday of every month.  You are welcome to join us, regardless of age religious affiliation, or non-religious affiliation. The table is open to all.

An offering is received during the service that helps towards the expenses and mission of our church.  You are invited to give as you are able, but are not obligated to give. However, we do appreciate donations, and a tax receipt will be provided if you provide your name and address.

We try to make our space as accessible as possible. If you need anything to help make you feel more comfortable, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Expect the service to run about an hour, and after worship, the minister greets people as they leave. All are welcome to join us for refreshments after the service (lemonade on the lawn on nice days in the summer). Just follow the crowd.

For more information about the service, please check out our bulletins or talk to one of our greeters.  You can also call the office, Monday to Friday, 9am-1pm and on Friday.

LOCATION

We are located at 1092 Speers Rd, just west of Fourth Line, and just to the west of the Medical Centre and Life Labs. Speers Road runs parallel to the QEW, and it is the first main artery north of Rebecca Street, Lakeshore Road, and the lake.
