  Join us for worship every Sunday at 10:30 am
 

Every Sunday at 10:30 am, people gather in the sanctuary at Fairlawn Avenue United Church to worship God as a congregation. The service at Fairlawn Avenue is traditional, but within that context we explore what it means to be a Christian in today’s world and ask some of the big questions that present themselves in our day-to-day lives. Our Minister of Worship preaches on Sundays, and we occasionally invite guests to further stimulate our thinking; for example, Raheel Raza, well-known Muslim author of Your Jihad, Not My Jihad; Martin Maxwell, Holocaust survivor and WWII pilot; Lynn McDonald (Sociology Professor, former MP & environment critic, a founder of Just Earth) on “A Time to Speak of Poverty, Climate Change and the Role of the Churches”.  On Heritage Sundays a variety of speakers, who have played a role in the history of our church, challenge us into the future. 

The music at Fairlawn is second to none. Our Senior Choir, directed by Eleanor Daley, leads every service with an introit and two anthems. And if you are in your seat before 10:30 am, you will hear preludes performed by our soloists, alone or in small groupings, or by our Junior and Intermediate Choirs!

Several times a year, we celebrate Communion. All believers, no matter what their background denomination, are welcome to participate in the sacrament. (Note: We are careful to provide gluten-free communion wafers so that no one is excluded for health reasons.) 

Special services round out the year at Fairlawn Avenue: two special music Sundays, the Christmas pageant, Lessons and Carols, Christmas Eve, Heritage Sunday, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and the glorious celebration of Easter are eagerly anticipated. 

During the service, we provide a staffed nursery so that babies can be left in a safe, caring environment while their parents take part in worship, and a toddler room provides care for children who are mobile! Older children leave early in the service to go to Sunday School classes appropriate to their grade level. 

And most Sundays after the service, we gather in the Assembly Hall for coffee and conversation. 

You would be most welcome to join us for worship any or every Sunday at Fairlawn Avenue United Church!
