What’s new at Stirling?
Saturday Meals Together
On April 18th, we held our final Saturday Meals Together of the 2025-26 season. Thank you to everyone who joined us for food, fellowship and music this year! And special thanks to all of the volunteers from Stirling, Grand River Friendship Society, and the wider community who made this program possible!
We hope to see you all again in November 2026!

Worship and Faith Formation
Worship Services
Currently, we hold weekly Sunday morning services in our church sanctuary with a livestream provided via Zoom. At times, we move our worship service outdoors. Rooted in the Anabaptist Mennonite faith tradition, our services seek to explore the revelation of Biblical scripture and its implications in our lives, in our community and in our world. Services are typically filled with scripture, prayer, singing, children's time and a sermon that draw from a particular theme or scripture text. There is a nursery located on the balcony for parents with young children, and we welcome the 'noises' from a multi-generational worship service.
Faith Formation
After our Sunday morning services we hold a Faith Formation hour with learning and growing opportunities for all ages. Children and youth explore their faith in smaller classes while adults typically gather as one larger group. There is also opportunity to visit with others over coffee/tea during this time. Please check the weekly update email for details.
Information on our services (including the Zoom link), access to the members’ section of the website, upcoming event details, and church news are provided in our weekly email updates. To get on the email list, please contact office@stirlingmennonite.ca.

In the event of inclement weather, the MLT will endeavour to make a decision by 8am and send out notice, including an additional call to AM 570 for notice, by 8:30am.
