We would like to thank our MP, Scot Davidson and his staff for their assistance in helping us once again secure funding through the Government of Canada's Canada Summer Jobs program.

Along with funding from St. John’s, we have hired 12 students to serve in our summer ministries, providing valuable work experience while supporting the many children and families who will be part of our programs this summer. We were pleased to welcome Scot to camp last year to see firsthand the impact this program has on both our staff and our community.

Thank you Scot for your ongoing service to our community and for supporting initiatives that provide opportunities for young people across Bradford West Gwillimbury.

Here are a few photos from last week's staff training. Our team "camped" on the church property (and eventually indoors when the weather turned quite ominous!). They spent the week preparing sets, learning stories, making crafts, building friendships and praying together in anticipation of an exciting summer.

This morning we welcomed 20 Leaders in Training, along with some returning LIT who are volunteers this summer. We are grateful for everyone who is helping make this another wonderful summer at St. John's! ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations to the class of 2026 at both Bradford District High School and Holy Trinity High School!

Our elder Glenda presented $250 to the student with the most community service hours going to college or the workforce and another $250 to the student with the most community service hours going to university.

Unfortunately we do not have the photos of Dr. Scott presenting at BDHS.

We wish you all a safe summer and my God continue to add blessing to your lives. ... See MoreSee Less

The two recipients were extremely thankful for the scholarships. They seemed like fine young ladies and I'm sure their awards were well deserved. My pleasure to present on behalf of our church and encourage community service.

Such a wonderful idea! Love it 😊
