A message from our rector:

 

Dear People of Christ Church Deer Park

As you likely know, Bishop Andrew Asbil asked Anglicans in the diocese to discontinue Sunday and other weekly worship services while the province and country are in the midst of efforts to contain COVID-19.

In an effort to offer you elements of our worship online, we have posted this morning’s sermon by Andrew Colman, our children and youth ministry coordinator.

Stay tuned to our website and our Facebook page for other opportunities for prayer and worship. In the meantime please pray for the city and indeed, our world, in these trying times.

Almighty and All–loving God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
we pray to you through Christ the Healer
for those who suffer from the Coronavirus Covid–19
in Canada and across the world.
Give wisdom to policymakers,
skill to healthcare professionals and researchers,
comfort to everyone in distress
and a sense of calm to us all in these days of uncertainty and distress.
This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord
who showed compassion to the outcast,
acceptance to the rejected
and love to those to whom no love was shown.
Amen.

(Prayer Adapted from The (Anglican) Church of Ireland)

Blessings
The Reverend Canon Cheryl Palmer

The Story behind our

Tracking Organ

Our magnificent three manual, tracker-action organ was installed in the chancel of the church in the spring of 1982 and dedicated to the Glory of God and in memory of those who died in the First World War and the Second World War.

The organ, built by the Karl Wilhelm Company of Mont St. Hilaire, Quebec, has a classical continental design. The case is made of white oak and the pipe shades are of carved butternut. Voiced in the classic French style, its 36 stops and 50 ranks are capable of interpreting a wide variety of organ literature.

Installation required considerable changes to the chancel including moving the altar forward and arranging choir seating to either side. These renovations prompted the design and production of our award-winning Benedicite Kneelers, done in needlepoint by a dedicated group of church members.
