Worship Services
Worship is central to the life of Wesley-Knox. We gather on Sundays throughout the year at 10:30 a.m. Services are traditional but definitely not stuffy! Additional services are offered during Advent and Holy Week.
Some Questions and Answers about Worship at Wesley-Knox
How do people dress for worship?
Most people dress as they would when visiting a friend. Some like to wear their “Sunday best”. It’s every person’s choice!
What music is used during Sunday service?
Wesley-Knox is well-known for the quality of its worship and its music. Most services are led by a 30-voice senior choir and a magnificent three-manual pipe organ. Additional music is often provided by the primary, junior, youth or handbell choirs. Hymns are selected from the United Church's Voices United.
What do you have for children?
Children three and under are cared for in a supervised nursery. Children 4–11 attend the first part of Sunday service. After children’s time with Rev. Tom, they leave for Sunday School. During summer months, open Sunday School (all ages together) is offered. Young people 12 and over meet in the Centennial Parlour for Youth Forum.
What happens after Sunday service?
Many gather in the Centennial Parlour to meet friends and have a cup of fair trade coffee, tea or juice.
Do you have parking?
The parking lot on the east side of the church accommodates only about 20 cars, but there is lots of on-street parking. On Sundays, regulars, including Rev. Tom, park on the street to leave church parking places for those who really need them.
Is Wesley-Knox handicap accessible?
Yes. The east side entrance is completely wheelchair accessible. Our sanctuary is on the same level as the east side entrance. An elevator is available to take people to other levels of the church.
Where can I find answers to questions not answered here?
