St. Mary's Anglican Church, PONOKA

W"our website. We are a small intimate congregation of about 40 worshippers; we  enjoy lively worship and attach a lot of importance to prayer. Our music ranges from traditional Anglican to Country & Western with guitar. We are an inclusive church where love and Christian fellowship abound.

What We Do

We meet for worship every Sunday at 10.00 a.m., and the Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion/Mass) is usually celebrated. Our service is very musical in a fairly light and tasteful way. Baptized children may also receive the Sacrament at the discretion of their parents. We enjoy staying for coffee and a chat in the church hall after service. Mid-week Eucharists are held on special Saints' days and are announced accordingly. We have an active Prayer Chain and offer a prayer ministry at the Eucharist.

We have a very active women's group under the title ACW (Anglican Church Women). This group is a real "power house" for fund-raising through various activities.

What's New?

We have changed our SERVICE TIME to 10.00 a.m. as from May 3/09. We hope that this will fit in better with family plans for the rest of the day.

We have re-ordered the East End of the church and refurbished the Chapel Room. The altar from the old church, the Reserved Sacrament cupboard, and the Presence Light have been relocated to the Chapel; the grand piano and organ are now in the East End alcove.

A church Newsletter will appear in June, and will hopefully be published every quarter.
