The Triquetra is a Celtic symbol a trefoil bound by an unbreakable bond. This is a potent symbol of how our relationships can grow and strengthen this parish born of three congregations. We are commited to mission and God’s plan for us.
Christ Church was founded in1805 and is the oldest of the three church buildings and has many generations of the first parish members still living and worshiping here in Colchester Village. Services are at 11am Sunday morning with Sunday school, choir and we are fully accessible.There is an additional servcie 8am in the chapel June 1st to Labour Day.
St. Alban’s in Malden was founded in the early days of the 20th century and is a warm family sized church we draw our membership from the surrounding farms and from Amherstburg. Services are 9:30 Sunday morning wheelchair accessible.
St. Andrew’s is the largest and most modern of our buildings seating 200 in a building erected in 1964, to contain the then growing number of families living in Harrow. Services are at 9:30am Sunday morning with Sunday school also handicapped accessible.
Our Cemetery dates from the late 1700′s, and contains many interesting historical clues to the earliest settlers in this area of Canada. On the grounds is a 1/4 sized replica of the very first church built here which was finally claimed by Lake Erie. The small chapel seats 8-12 people and is used in the summer for 8am services.
Our parish has a core membership of over 230 families. We worship in a variety of styles and our junior congregation has a regular membership of 26. We have a wonderful Vacation Bible School of over 50 kids from Colchester village who this year will participate in “Journey to Jerusalem” an art camp with art and crafts based on ancient Jewish forms.
Our Praise Band to plays at such events as our Parish picnic, strawberry social and other special service.
All our congregations offer a warm welcome and unique worship. Each month we gather for fellowship and wonderful food. We support a hot lunch project, meals on wheels and Secret Santa all in our small communities. For more information on our other outreach projects please check out our website for a more complete picture. In the wider world our parishoners are involved in many mission projects that take members to Mexico and Baffin Island. This coming year we continue to develop a Vision and Mission Focus to better reflect our understanding of what God calls Southern Trinity to be in the world. Please check back often and join us on our journey.
