Welcome to the Anglican Parish of St. John the Baptist, Cobble Hill
Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost Proper 22
August 31, 2025
We gather in worship on Sundays at 10AM, with coffee time shared after the service.
Our worship service is Holy Communion also known as The Lord's Supper, Eucharist or The Mass.
The fourth Sunday of every month is celebrated with a soup and sandwich lunch held after the 10AM service.
We offer a Livestream for the 10 AM Sunday service if you cannot physically make it to church. Our worship includes Bible readings, prayers, sermon and songs.
You do not have to be baptized, or familiar with church procedures, to be welcome among us.
If we can help you by praying for you, whether you come to church or not, please contact our priest the Rev. Deborah Rivet.
We are an Anglican parish in the Diocese of British Columbia - The Diocese of Islands and Inlets - and a member of the Anglican Church of Canada.
Did you know we celebrate the birth of St John the Baptist - just after the spring solstice as the days are getting shorter and John proclaimed in John 3.30 "He must increase but I must decrease."?
We celebrate the birth of Jesus after the winter solstice because the days are getting longer and "the true light has come into the world and the darkness will not overcome it".
The commemoration of the saints is an important part of our Anglican tradition. We commemorate the saints and acknowledge their contribution to the life of the Church through the inspiration they exemplify through Christ's living example found in their lives. We acknowledge their lives on the date of their death - which we also do for St John the Baptist on Aug 29th.
