Join Us for a Fun-Filled Free Christmas Community Event, on December 15th
The House of Bread (the HOUSE) is excited to invite you to our Open Doors event (HOOD)!
Following the amazing success of our September gathering, we’re hosting another afternoon of live music, engaging activities for kids, and the opportunity to connect with your new community. This time we're combining it with our favourite time of the year - Christmas. We'll even be hosting a Christmas Choir for ages 5 yrs and up!
What’s HOOD All About Anyway?
At the HOUSE, community is everything, which is why we created HOOD—House of Bread Open Doors. It’s not your typical church service. It’s a gathering where we meet people, listen to their stories, and offer support in real, meaningful ways. Whether it’s helping with a need or simply being there for each other, HOOD has already made a difference. It’s sparked new friendships, brought hope, and answered prayers for many who were seeking true connections.
Through HOOD, we’ve created a place where you can connect, feel supported, and find a community that truly cares. We can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself. Register here to attend the next HOOD—you won’t regret it!
Come to HOOD and enjoy Live Music, Fun Kids’ Activities, & Fabulous Giveaways!
Ever Wanted to Sing with a Choir?
Come Sing with Us: Join the HOOD Choir!
Music brings people together, lifts our spirits, and creates connections that words alone can’t. That’s why we created the HOOD Choir—to build community through shared harmony.
The HOOD Choir is informal, temporary, and judgment-free—open to all ages 5 and up. It’s all about having fun, bonding over music, and celebrating the joy of singing. Whether you're a seasoned vocalist or just love singing along, everyone is welcome—no experience needed!
This Christmas, we’re inviting anyone who loves to sing to join the HOOD Choir! Come share the joy of music with us—no commitment after the season, just fun, laughter, and harmony. Bring your family, friends, and neighbors to create memories, share laughs, and experience the magic of music. Come sing with us and make this Christmas unforgettable!

Wow, what a fantastic first HOOD event! To say it was amazing is really an understatement.

My boyfriend and I have recently attended this church, and we’ve had such a great experience. Pastor Paul and his wife made us feel welcomed. We are grateful to have found such a wonderful church and we are looking forward to come back :)

I have known Pastor Paul and Lady Arlene for many years. They are one of the warmest and most genuine couple that I know. That kindness and warmth is felt at House of Bread. I have visited several times and I keep going back because of the love of God felt, the worship and the powerful messages. I would highly recommend House of Bread to anyone.
