3rd Sunday of Epiphany January 21, 2023

Welcome to St. Laurence

In the midst of winter chills, join us for the warmth of community! This week, we continue our journey through the season of Epiphany, considering what the ancient call of Jesus means today. 

After the service, join us for coffee, tea and fellowship, then stay for Conversations. Please note: You are welcome to bring a bag lunch to eat during Conversations, as it will be longer than usual. 

If you are unable to join us in person, please join our livestream service, or watch a video at your leisure. The link below will work for all livestreamed services.
