Immanuel United Reformed Church of Listowel

Worship Services

We worship in our Church Building, located at 750 Davidson Ave. N., in Listowel ON.  We invite you to join us as we meet each Sunday at 9:30 am and 2:30 pm. We also have special worship services throughout the year, generally New Years Day, Easter, Prayer Service for Crops and Labour, Ascension Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Eve.

As a Reformed church our worship service is structured and formal. This is because we have taken to heart what Paul teaches us in 1 Corinthians 14:40 “…Let all things be done decently and in order”

As a guest, please do not hesitate to see the greeter if you require anything. If you need somewhere to stay between the services or just want to get to know us better, we have a host family every week who will be more than happy to accommodate you.  Bibles and Hymnals are provided in the Pews.
