time and
acquaint

I think you
will be
impressed with
the activities
and the
fellowship you

our
congregation.
Note
particularly
the strong
focus on
ecumenical
life, which
has always
been central
for us and the
other members
of the
Tri-Churches
community.
This emphasis
provides a
whole new
and enriching
aspect to our
lives.
Please
know that we
are always
delighted for
you to worship
with us at St. Cyprian’s.

for everyone in the
congregation.

maintenance and upkeep on

Anglican. The board is

Responsible Ministry
& Screening in Faith

identified as “at-risk”
relative to church assets,
confidentiality, and
sexual misconduct take
“responsible ministry”
training.
Sunday Hospitality
Time

service, there is a
hospitality time for light
refreshments hosted by
different members of the
congregation.
Sunday School
Sunday school is available
during Sunday services for
children ages two and up
whenever possible.
Tri-Church Parish
Nursing
The members of the
Tri-Church congregations,
which include St.
Cyprian's, are fortunate
to have a Parish Nursing
ministry right at their
doorstep. Staffed by a
registered nurse, everyone
is aware that tender
loving care is just a
phone call away.
Whatever your
need/concern, they are
dedicated to be of
service. Often, all that
is needed is a
compassionate ear or a
contact number to connect
with a service or source
of help.
