 “I was glad when they said to me,
‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!'”

Ontario remains in Step Three of the Roadmap to Reopen. While there is room for you to show up without registering, we do ask that you would please CONTACT THE CHURCH OFFICE to register for the 10:30AM worship service and Communion. 

You may reach the office at (905) 332-7671 or send an email to office@poplc.ca. For those who regularly attend each Sunday, your attendance will automatically be assumed unless otherwise noted to the contrary.

Please continue to be mindful of the masking and distancing requirements still in effect, even with the government’s loosening of restrictions. We are working to ensure that there is enough room for all who desire to attend the Divine Service

During Holy Communion, members of the same family “bubble” (i.e. Husband and Wife; Parents and Children) may approach (in pilgrim style, as we have been doing) and receive Holy Communion together. We look forward to the day when we can once again kneel at the Communion rail to receive the Lord’s holy and precious body and blood, given and shed for the forgiveness of sins. 

If you are unable to attend in person you are encouraged to:

• subscribe to our YouTube channel
• watch for specific service information and links in POP:Connect
• us our phone service at (855) 779-1517 (you can sign up to receive a phone call when worship begins)

Christian Education Hour 
This coming Sunday, we will study “A Loving Law.” Months into their wilderness wanderings, the Israelites arrive in the wilderness of Sinai. God comes to the mountain in clouds and thunder—fire and smoke—as He establishes His covenant with His people through Moses, His chosen intermediary. There on the mountain, God gives Moses His Ten Commandments.
