Church In Regent Park
What is Church in the City
Due to the scope of need in downtown Toronto in particular the Regent Park area "Church in Regent Park" has been officially launched as a self governing assembly by Church in the City and the Eastern Ontario and Nunavut district. Church in Regent Park supervises the community dinners every Saturday through the year, has service on Saturdays and has many community events. They continue to work together with Church in the City to serve the community. There is a different church and sometimes two, every week, supporting Church in Regent Park by taking turns making meals or providing dessert.

What We Do
We are on a rotation the second Saturday of every other month, providing a full dinner OR dessert coffee, tea and juice. We meet at Cedarview at 2:15 p.m. and arrange carpool groups (you do not have to drive to downtown Toronto if you do not want to). The drive takes about an hour to Toronto (it takes longer if there are major (ie. sporting) events in Toronto that day), and then we set up, cook dinner, or prepare desserts and then serve.
You can serve where you are comfortable, either with prep and plating or serving and interacting with the guests. We are usually back to Cedarview about 8:30 p.m.
This ministry is a wonderful way to be the "hands and feet of Jesus." Try it at least once.
