We are Open for Worship!

Ontario is in stage 2 of its reopening plan
(see https://www.ontario.ca/page/reopening-ontario for details).
Indoor religious services may operate at 25% capacity.

Communion will be offered on Sunday July 11 during the 10:30AM worship service. If there is more demand for Communion than what can be accommodated in our worship Service, Pastor will offer additional sessions (with max 25% capacity) for confession, absolution and Communion after the worship service until everyone who desires Communion has received it.

CONTACT THE CHURCH OFFICE to register for worship service and Communion.  You will be advised whether you can be accommodated in the main worship service or a following Communion-only service.

 “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’” Until then, stay tuned for more details.
