“A Different Kind of Fast” invites us to live with awareness and intentionality through the season of Lent. Following Christine Painter’s book by the same title, we’ll explore “fasting” from inattention, from scarcity anxiety, from rushing, from holding it all together, from certainty. In these wild days of global uncertainty, this is not only a book for Lent, it’s work that addresses the practical realities of today.

June 10, 2025, will mark the United Church’s 100th anniversary—an opportunity to honour our past and look to the future!
Join us this Holy Week as we reflect on the themes of humility, service, self-sacrifice, and love, journeying with Jesus to the cross through an intergenerational Palm Sunday service, a simple meal and foot-washing ritual on Maundy Thursday, and a soulful choral Good Friday service that will center and inspire you in this sacred season.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of powerful spoken word performances by the talented artists Brandon Wint, Sejal and Special Guests.
Our Place
In the World
St. Andrew’s-Wesley respectfully acknowledges that we gather on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. For thousands of years, First Nations people have walked on this land and their relationship with the land is at the centre of their lives and spirituality. As a church, and settlers on these shores, we have a life-long responsibility to unlearn our misunderstandings of history, territory, and identity through critical reflection, acknowledgement, and listening.
