This week, our Friday prayer vigil for Gaza will start at 6:30pm in our sanctuary and end (weather permitting) on the lawn with a silent vigil by candlelight. We offer space for Fairlawners, friends and neighbours to share in prayers and readings, to bear witness to the lives lost, and for the hope of peace.

Giving Tuesday is a global movement unleashing the power of “radical generosity”. It came to Canada in 2013 as a simple idea: designate a day – November 28 – that encourages people to do good. If you have any unopened travel-sized toiletries or personal hygiene products, Street Health, one of our Embrace Action partner organizations, would love to use them in their work on Indigenous Harm Reduction in Toronto this winter. Simply drop the donated items from 10:00 to10:30am before worship, in the Nook (SE sanctuary entrance).
Worship Services at Fairlawn Avenue United are on Sunday mornings at 10:30am, with Minister the Rev. Dr. Cameron Watts, Associate Minister Rev. Jean Ward, Director of Music – Eleanor Daley and the Fairlawn Avenue Senior Choir. If you'd like to revisit any of our online worship services, please visit our website worship page or YouTube channel.
Coffee, tea and cookies will be available in the sanctuary following the service and we encourage you to bring your owen mug! A signup sheet will be on the coffee table for volunteers to select dates to assist. Each week, a three-person team will arrive at 10:00am to set up, attend the service and be finished cleaning up by 12:30pm. Easy-to-follow instructions are posted in the kitchen. Coffee hour provides an important opportunity for people to connect with one another, welcome guests and feel part of Fairlawn.
