5th Sunday of Lent March 17, 2024

Welcome to St. Laurence

Please join us for the final Sunday of Lent! Our sermon and Conversations topic will be “Which Jesus do I want to See?”

After the service, all are welcome to join us for Irish coffee in honour of St Patrick’s Day, tea and fellowship, and to stay for Conversations.

If you are unable to join us in person, please join our livestream service, or watch the video at your leisure. The link below will work for all livestreamed services. Videos may be accessed through our website.



Please Note: We are currently experiencing difficulties with our Hearing Assist program, as one essential piece of equipment has failed. We are sorry for this, as we want our worship experience to be accessible to all. Please know that we are working to resolve this as soon as possible. In the meantime, we will work to keep the volume up!
