What to Expect as we Return to Worshipping in the Sanctuary
What to expect on the day:
- Halton region restrictions indicate that congregations are not to sing (subject to change based on public health requirements/recommendations)
- Printed orders of service. Take these with you when you leave. (Hymnals will be phased back into use)
- No use of coat room.
Those participating are asked to remember the following:
- Do not come to church if you are felling ill; you will be asked to verify your health status before entering the church building
- You will need to wear a mask – please bring your own. We will have a small supply, should you forget
- Enter and exit through the front doors
- Refrain from socializing while inside the building.
- Please be patient with ushers, greeters and others who are assisting. We are all learning new ways of doing things.
- Maintain 6 foot separation from others at all times
We understand completely if you are not yet feeling ready to attend service. This is not to pressure, but to provide awareness and an invitation to those who are ready and able to attend.
We look forward to seeing those who are able to come to service in the coming weeks.

In your prayers, please remember those being treated for cancer, those recovering from surgery, those who have tested positive with COVID-19, our elderly and shut-in friends, all those under doctor’s care, and all those separated from family due to the COVID-19 restrictions, our Vicar-elect David Zakel (and his family) and our Vacancy Pastor, Pastor Krestick.
Restore Canada and the world in health and livelihood, and preserve us from pestilence and fear.
