Kokanee Parish
Kokanee Parish in the Anglican Diocese of Kootenay
About Us
Our Anglican tradition is one rooted in a liturgical expression. We believe that liturgy represents a communal response to and participation in the sacred through activities reflecting praise, thanksgiving and remembrance, supplication or repentance. The Anglican Church of Canada primarily uses the Book of Alternative services and here at our churches we share in various liturgies including the ecumenical Christian community, the Iona Community.
​
At Sunday morning service we celebrate the Eucharist together. It is the Eucharist that we gather to be nurtured as a community, and where we experience reconciliation with God, and are then challenged and empowered by the Spirit to go forth into the world. You are welcome too, to God's table to receive communion - to receive the bread and the wine.
Once a month we offer a morning prayer service following the Iona Community liturgy, in lieu of Holy Eucharist service.​​
