Church Reopening Update

This past Wednesday (May 28) Pastor Tom sent out an update regarding our move towards reopening. If you haven't seen it please take some time to read the letter by clicking the button below as it outlines the necessary safety protocols and details for how you can participate in our upcoming gatherings.

The gist of it is that we are cautiously excited to open up for fellowship gatherings on Sundays from 11:30 am -1:30 pm starting Sunday, June 7. This will not be a worship service yet but a chance to fellowship with one another and take the Lord's Supper together. Please bring your own lunch/coffee and a lawn chair if you want to sit outside. Physical distancing and other safety precautions will be observed (see letter). Also, you will have to call the church office to register for the spot by Thursday of that week so we can adhere to the 50 person limit to public gatherings set by the province. If enough people call in to reserve a spot we can open up a second time slot. We understand that not everyone will be able to attend but please bear with us as we navigate this new reality together. Our online weekend services will continue to be released by Saturday evening each week so we can all continue to worship from home together.

For these details and more please read Pastor Tom's reopening letter below.

MAKE A DONATION

The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; 
the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. 
But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children— 
with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. 
Psalm 103:15-18
