Alpha - St. Mary offers the world renown
'ALPHA' course. This course, which is designed to explore the Christian faith,
has proved to be meaningful for both seekers and believers.
If you find Christianity boring, untrue and irrelevant this course is for you.
Thousands of people throughout the world have taken the ALPHA course and thousands
have attested to life changing experiences as a result of taking ALPHA.
We invite you to join us and find the true meaning of life.
Please enquire at the church office for the start date of our next course.
Missions - St. Mary sponsors missions at the
church and outreach missions, i.e. Nunavut, throughout the year. St. Mary also
supports a number of missions locally, nationally and abroad.
Senior's Lunch - A group of people from St. Mary and
the community provide a hearty soup and sandwich lunch for seniors in Metchosin
on the first Wednesday of each month.
Summer Camp - Many members of St. Mary and their
friends attend Camp Columbia on Thetis Island. This Anglican Church camp provides
programs for all ages during the year. Others, wishing to travel further, have
the option of going to Sorrento, the Anglican Church Centre on Shuswap Lake.
Vacation Bible School - VBS is a very popular summer
program for which early registration is advised. It is a time of blessing for
both children and members of the ministry team, as they share the love of God
through activities such as arts and crafts, singing, short plays and stories.
It is held for one week in July or August.
