Visio

Sundays, after sermon, in the Chapel

We begin a new youth (ages 13-18) program called “Visio,” where you will be invited to stay in for the first two thirds of the worship service, and will leave for the chapel after the sermon for a bevy of your choice, check-in and conversation, and a fun arts-based spiritual practice called Visio.

Open Table

Second Sunday of every month from 5:00-6:45pm.

The journey of the soul craves connection and community as travel the many pathways of life. Walking alongside people at a similar age and place in life is essential to for personal, communal, and spiritual growth. All young adults (ages 18-30) are welcome to join us for an evening of connection over a warm meal, hearty conversations and plain old fun.

All are welcome. Come as you are!

Retreats

Various times throughout the year.

Getting away, resting, and sitting in the goodness of God is huge part of our journey. Check our Upcoming Events page to see if there’s one coming up soon.

Community & Worship

Jan 11

Eat Pray Love is a gathering for all ages. A time of singing and story and prayer, a time to to be creative and a time to share a meal and conversation together. We will be gathering 5 times this year to celebrate the seasons of Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Easter and Pentecost. This gathering will happen at St. Andrew’s Wesley and at Christ Church Cathedral as we collaborate together.

Community & Spirituality

Wednesdays in January

The Heart of Christianity: this ancient spiritual path is liberating and life-giving, and can also be bewildering. What are we “supposed” to believe, and does belief even matter? How can we grow in faith? What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus, and who was the historical Jesus, anyway? These and other essential questions will be addressed and discussed in our five-week Epiphany series that we all might be “rooted and grounded in love.”

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.
