Baptism for All Ages

At St. John, we are honored to welcome all ages into Christ’s church and into His community through Baptism.  Whether an infant or an adult, we look forward to celebrating with you this very significant moment.  If you are pursuing baptism at St. John, please contact us at info@stjohnuc.ca or (905) 387-2135.

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

John 14:1-3 (NIV) 1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

A Funeral or Memorial Service is used to mark the end of a person’s life here on earth; but for those who believe in Christ Jesus our Savior, it is to mark the beginning of a new life with Jesus.

Are you searching for a place that can:

1. honor your loved one,
2. enable family and friends to come together to express grateful memories or grief
3. give thanks for their life

If so, please contact us.  Whether a small ceremony or packed church, everyone is welcome!

At St. John, we understand how difficult this may be, and we encourage you to contact us to see how we can help to make this time a little easier. If you have any questions or require further information, please contact the church office at 905.387.2135 or by email at info@stjohnuc.ca.

Senior’s Ministry Team

A team of dedicated individuals from St. John reach out to seniors across the Hamilton mountain with the love of Christ.  They can be seen visiting seniors each month at locations such as the Court at Rushdale Retirement Community, Macassa Lodge and Extendicare Hamilton, Long-Term Care Facilities.   This team of volunteers provide a friendly and compassionate worship experience for the residents including singing hymns and songs of praise, sharing scripture, offering Communion as well as an inspirational message from our Pastor.

From the first Sunday of Advent to the Christmas Eve service, the Christmas season at St. John United Church is a faith-filled journey to the Manger of Bethlehem. We celebrate with joy, in anticipation of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, over four weeks prior to December 25th.

All are welcome to join us!

Through Advent and on Christmas Eve, our Minister teaches various aspects of the miracle of the birth of Jesus Christ: that God came to earth as a baby, to live fully human and fully God; to promise eternal life to all who believe in Him.

Favourite Christmas Carols, contemporary songs, special music and hymns are carefully chosen and are all a part of the Advent season, and do much to deepen our faith at this season.

There are many highlights over Advent; here are but a few:

• Lighting of the Advent Candle, one each Sunday
• Blessing of the quilts being handed out to those in our community who need to know they are loved
• Remembrance of loved ones by personal candle lighting
• Nativity play done by the Sunday School

Christmas Eve is perhaps the end of the season, but it is the beginning of our faith. There are two separate services on Christmas Eve:

• 4:00 pm Child-Friendly Family Service
• 8:00 pm Communion candlelight service

St John United Church is dedicated to honouring the message of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and celebrates with reverence each and every year.

You are invited to join us during Holy Week as we journey through the Easter Story and reflect on its significance.
