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

(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!

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.
