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.

A reception will follow the service.

On Saturday morning, the Synod will reconvene with worship at 9:00 a.m., available here. This will be followed by a study session and business meeting, then lunch and another study session. In the afternoon, from approximately 2:00 to 6:00 p.m., our visitors will be taking part in various sightseeing activities around the Peninsula. The day will conclude with the Synod Banquet in the evening.

On Sunday, the Synod of British Columbia will join us for worship. As an added bonus, Knox Church in Victoria will also be joining us. The Reverend Dr. Dale Wood will be preaching the sermon, "The Gift of Endurance."

Hosting Synod is a huge undertaking, and we are incredibly grateful for all the volunteers who have stepped forward to prepare the church building, the meals, and the general hospitality. Thank you all so much for your service.

We would also ask the congregation to keep the Synod of BC in their prayers this weekend as it meets.
