SPPC Today

SUNDAY MORNING

Welcome to Saanich Peninsula Presbyterian Church. 

Our worship takes place at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday morning both in-person and online (via the SPPC YouTube Livestream button above). We invite you to join us each week as we continue to explore and follow the Word of God. Following the service, there will be a fellowship time at the back of the sanctuary.

For the safety of your neighbours, when you attend worship: 

• Please, perform a health check prior to attending.

• While masks are not required, feel free to wear one if you prefer.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

News for Sunday, October 6, 2024

We look forward to celebrating the Lord's Supper this World Communion Sunday. Please remember, that if you are unable to attend, your minister and an elder are happy to come and share communion with you during the week. Please contact your elder or the office to arrange a time.

The weekend of October 18 to 20, the 132nd Synod of BC will meet at Saanich Peninsula Presbyterian Church.

Synod members will arrive on Friday afternoon for the Opening Worship Service and Business Meeting that evening, followed by a short reception. Saturday will include workshops and business meetings, with free time for our guests after lunch to enjoy Butchart Gardens or Sidney, and a concluding dinner at SPPC.

 We are grateful to the members of our congregation who are preparing to host the Synod. If you would like to volunteer, please contact:

We invite everyone to join us for worship this Sunday at 10:00 a.m. Whether you prefer to attend in person or connect virtually, we'd love to have you with us. The service will be live-streamed, and you can find the link here. We look forward to worshipping with you!
