Events at Essex CRC

At Essex CRC, we deeply value community. We believe meaningful connections are built when people gather, share, and take part—whether for a meal, a service, or a special event. Everyone is welcome, and every presence matters.
Explore what’s coming up, mark your calendar, and join us as we build community, share God’s love, and walk through each season together. We can’t wait to welcome you!

March

Farewell Community Worship Service
Join us as we honor Winny & Ben Schinkel for their years of faithful service.

After many years of commitment to our church and town, they are moving to a next chapter in their lives, and you are our special guest!

Ben Schinkel Sr will lead the service, and we will have something for everyone: nursery and kids’ program available, and cake, coffee and good conversations at the end of Service.

When? Sunday, March 1, at 10 am.
Where? Essex CRC: 276 Talbot St S, Essex, ON. 

Free Community Dinner
Life can feel heavy — socially, financially, emotionally — and sometimes we all need a place to breathe, connect, and be cared for.

Join us on Friday, March 6 and 20, at 5:45 PM for a warm meal around a friendly table.

No cost, no pressure — just good food, people, and a reminder that you’re not alone.

Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend, bring your family, or simply bring yourself. We’d love to have you!
