Announcements

Facilities and Venue Booking – We are switching to use the Church Center App for church-related facility booking requests. Please submit your request using this link.

All congregation bookings for personal use will be considered a rental and subject to rental fees. For ministry bookings, please clearly indicate the supervising pastor who provides direction and nurturing of this ministry. Please contact your lead pastor if you have any questions concerning the supervising pastor of a ministry.

A reminder to please park in the designated lots (highlighted in purple) to avoid having your car towed by the neighbouring buildings. Please refer to the diagram below.

Our Newcomers Small Group has transitioned into a new and exciting way to help people connect with our church family — the Connection Table.
Each Sunday, special tables will be reserved in the gym as a relaxed, welcoming space for anyone to meet others, build friendships, and grow together in community. Whether you’re new or have been attending for some time, we invite you to join us for fellowship and conversation.
If you are new, we encourage you to first stop by the Newcomers Welcome Booth to receive a special welcome gift, then come by the Connection Table to connect with others.
We look forward to getting to know you and helping everyone feel at home!

Rev Steven Lo and Sister Cathy Wu will have their wedding ceremony on Saturday, June 6th, at 11:00 am in the church sanctuary. Brothers and sisters are warmly invited to attend and witness God’s grace. Light refreshments will be served after the ceremony. Parking in Area D of St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral has been arranged for guests from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

A reminder to please complete your registration for the upcoming Sports Ministry events ahead of time. Secure your spot before the event date!

Ordination News

You are cordially invited to the ordination of Pastor Johnny Ng on June 28th, at 2:30 pm. Reception will take place in the gym after the ceremony.
A banquet will take place in Grandeur Palace at 5:30 pm. Tickets can be purchased for $65 in front of the library on May 9th and 16th, after Arise Worship, or on May 10th and 17th, after Cantonese services. Tickets are subject to availability.

Administration Department

Please be informed that the project will commence soon and will be carried out in different zones. As the Gym and parts of the Sanctuary do not have suspended ceilings, construction work in these areas will generate dust and noise, making them unsuitable for activities during this period.
Due to the project’s nature and unpredictable weather, we may give less than a week’s notice for venue usage suspension. We appreciate your attention to this matter and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Harry (facilities@tccc.ca).

Prayer

Pray for the planning and preparation of the May 16–18th Congregational Retreat, and for the preparation of Junction coming up in June.

Mandarin Congregation

Pray for God’s guidance and wisdom in the planning of the May 16–18th congregational retreat, and for His grace at work in the hearts of those preparing for baptism and church membership on April 5, that they would be rooted in faith and ready to take this next step in following Christ. Also, pray for the upcoming “Streams of Life” Sunday School starting in April, that through it, God’s Word would deepen and strengthen the spiritual lives of all who participate.

Cantonese Congregation

Pray for those recently baptized and welcomed into membership, that they would grow in their faith under God’s guidance; for the Alpha Courses, Prime Time, and Friday Outreach ministries to lead more people to the Gospel and find their home in Christ; and for the Stream of Life and Lenten ministries to bring spiritual renewal, helping our brothers and sisters joyfully follow the Holy Spirit as disciples.

105 Gibson

We give thanks for the 105 Gibson Centre on becoming an official Ontario Autism Program service provider, and may we continue to pray for wisdom, unity, and strength for the team as they launch and sustain the programs, and for the children and families who will be blessed and for God to be glorified through this work.

What's Happening Today

We have Pre-Service Prayer every Sunday from 9:20 to 9:40 am in the library. This is a time to pray for the morning service, including the worship, the sermon, and the life of our church. Everyone is welcome, and all ages are invited. Join us as we prepare our hearts and commit the service to the Lord together.

Prayer Ministry

Name Tag Sunday will be happening today, May 3rd. This is a great opportunity for our English congregation to get to know one another better.

Our monthly Prayer Event will be happening today, May 3rd, in Room 306 from 11:15 to 12:15 pm. The theme will be praying for mothers and mother-figures in our church. We look forward to praying together with you all at our next prayer event!

We would like to invite our English Post-Secondary students to a gathering on today, May 3rd, at 11:15 am in Room 308 to show our appreciation and support for you.
It will be a great opportunity to connect with other students and enjoy some snacks and refreshments together.

Mother’s Day is coming up! And you know what that means…
Today is the last day to send your pictures with you and your mother/mother figures to communications@tccc.ca, to be featured in our Mother’s Day slideshow!

Upcoming Events

On May 23rd, 2026, we will be hosting Dinner and Delight at the 105 Gibson Centre, providing a special dinner for food bank clients. This event offers a peaceful, enjoyable evening for families facing financial hardship.
We invite volunteers to support in areas like the kitchen, hospitality, activities/games, and setup/cleanup. If you’re interested in volunteering, please click the registration button to sign up. If you have any questions, please contact Raphaela S. Volunteer spots are reserved for people who are a part of the English Congregation, so we appreciate your understanding and support in making this event meaningful for all.

Volunteer Now

Join us at our fifth The Gathering Table (TGT) on May 27th! We know it can be hard to really get to know one another after Sunday service. So this dinner is intentionally created for meaningful conversation, shared laughter, and a space to slow down and deepen connections within our English congregation. You’re also always welcome to bring a friend!
We’re looking for volunteers! You can indicate your interest in volunteering when you register for the event. If you have any questions, please contact communications@tccc.ca
