We are Open for Worship!

Ontario has moved into stage 1 of its reopening plan (see https://www.ontario.ca/page/reopening-ontario for details).  Indoor religious services may operate at 15% capacity in stage 1.

Communion will be offered on Sunday June 11 during the 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 15% 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.
