St. Peter's Mission “Love your neighbour, as I have loved you, in action.” The vision of St. Peter’s Mission (SPM) is to serve the marginalized and underserved communities in general, and the South East Scarborough community in particular. SPM provides lunches on Saturdays to 320 residents of Lawrence Ave. East and Morningside Housing buildings, as well as Christmas and Thanksgiving celebrations. It also provides for their needs in the capacity of furniture, mattresses, clothing, kitchen items, cleaning supplies, and other items. SPM has gained the trust of the communities in Scarborough, and now provides spiritual guidance as well as love, compassion, and friendship. During COVID, SPM distributed door to door lunches as well as groceries to alleviate the lack of Food Banks’ donations to this community. SPM has also provided books, puzzles, games, and more to help reduce their feelings of loneliness during a worldwide pandemic. SPM serves also Mornelle community by providing weekly dinners (restarting soon due to COVID) , a Christmas toy drive (150 toys in ’21), a Christmas party for kids , and helps organize March break and summer camps .

TIME WITH GOD Establishing a Habit of Connecting with God Do you wish you could hear from God? In our relationships with other people, we grow by being present and listening to each other. The same is true for our relationship with God. God desires a close relationship with each one of us. But we must choose to make time for him and to quiet the world around us to hear from him. We want to help you create a habit of spending consistent time with God. We’ve provided a short video with tips on connecting with God. We’ve also provided a way to access reading plans to get you started. Explore Plans The Bible for Grown-Ups 5-Day Reading Plan Many of us know some Bible stories, but very few of us know the story of the Bible. Do you know how the Bible came to be? Knowing the story of the Bible is as important as knowing what’s in the Bible because if you don’t know it, it’s easy to discount or dismiss the stories in the Bible. In this 5-day reading plan, Andy explores the story of how we got the Bible and how it sheds light and gives us insight into the stories in the Bible. Five Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith 6-Day Reading Plan Your faith in God matters to God. And he’s committed to growing it. Big. Imagine how differently you would respond to difficulties, temptations, and even good things if you knew with certainty that God was in all of it and was planning to leverage it for good. In this reading plan, Andy Stanley builds a biblical case for five things God uses to grow BIG faith. Better 4-Day Reading Plan Whether you are starting a new year, or you just want to make a change, these principles will help you have a better year than the last. Learn how to let go of what is hindering you and allow God to lead you to a better life. When, God? 7-Day Reading Plan Have you ever felt like God was inattentive, uncooperative, or late? In this 7-day reading plan, Andy Stanley shares stories from the New Testament about three different men who felt that God was not responding in their time of need. These stories teach us that we can walk through difficult times and know that God is still with us—he isn’t inattentive, he isn’t uncooperative, and he is never, ever late.

Connect With Others Experience for yourself why we say life is better connected. To grow spiritually, you have to be connected relationally. Groups are a place where people have the opportunity to pursue authentic community and spiritual growth. When you join a group, you will spend time socializing, learning, and praying together. All you have to do is show up, join in, and be real. Groups for Every Season of Life SMSK Kids Committed Relationship Students Young Professionals Got Questions?

Anchor 1 SMSK — A ministry of love, outreach, and integration in the inner city of Toronto. Established in 2011, the Church of St. Moses & St. Katherine is a ministry dedicated to the glorification of the Holy Trinity: God the Father, His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit the Comforter. This community was founded on three deep-seated values that we embrace every single day —culturally, spiritually, emotionally, rationally. They are: 1. A faithful community to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, hungry for spiritual growth and desiring to be a healing presence in the neighbourhood. 2. A worshipping community which offers praise, glory, honour, and reverence to God in all things, as is due to Him. 3. A multicultural community ministering to diverse members of the body of Christ, holding a myriad of ethnicities, languages, and lived experiences. Missionary in nature, our mission is to spread the Good News throughout Downtown Toronto. We do this by nurturing SMSK into a home for the 'unchurched,' and by channeling the love of God in service to our neighbours through humanitarian work.
