Services at St. Columba's Church Port Hardy and St. John's Port Alice

The annual general meeting of St Columba's Anglican United Church will be held in the church hall on February 8, 2025 following the regular Sunday service. A hot lunch will be provided before the meeting. The meeting will start between 12:15 and 12:30 PM depending on on how long lunch takes and will last no more than two hours.

The printed annual report will be available starting February 1 for those attending Sunday service in person and also found on our website here at the same time. The agenda will also be posted on the website shortly before the meeting on the same page as the report, and printed agendas will be available at the meeting.

If you wish to attend via Zoom please contact Robert Fyles and a link will be sent to requesters. Proxies are also available from Robert for those not able to attend in person or via Zoom.

Join us in person at St. Columba's in Port Hardy for a Lenten themed study facilitated by Rev. Bob Gilbert. The group will be meeting each Tuesday (March 3 to March 24) starting at 1:30 PM until 3 PM. The four week study will focus on the "Meanings of the Cross". The historical and contemorary meanings and what it means for us, personally.

The study will include short readings, exploration of scripture passages, short videos, hymns, and discussion.

Everyone is welcome.

Join us this Lent for Kitchen Conversations with the Moderator, a six-part video series exploring faith, food, and the power of invitation, hosted by The Right Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath.

Drawing inspiration and recipes from the United Church’s Lenten devotional, Bless Break Share: Recipes for Faithful Living, we’re getting in the kitchen with guests from across the church, including book contributors, United Church youth, and the Moderator’s own family. 

Starting Shrove Tuesday, we’ll be breaking bread at a church each week throughout Lent, reflecting on how food can nourish both body and soul, and how in joining around the table, we connect to something deeper than ourselves.
