January 9, 2022
Below are our weekly announcements. Our hope is that announcements are not just for your information, but also for your participation.
In-person Worship
Due to government restrictions, space will be limited and everyone will be required to pre-register EVERY WEEK. The link for pre-registration will be posted online each week by Monday midnight for the next Sunday.
Click here to register for in-person worship service.
Registration will be first-come-first-served. If you require help to register, contact the church office ([email protected] or 416-733-8088).
We ask that you self-screen prior to coming in person. View this presentation that outlines the physical preparation of the church building and safety protocols.
Please arrive by 9:30 AM so that you will have time to complete the screening and service can start on time at 9:45 AM. If you are unable to attend in-person worship for the day you have registered, please contact the church office as soon as possible to cancel your registration.
Please click here for our regathering FAQ where we address questions about children and youth ministry, prayer meeting, and safety protocols.
Given the high and rising number of COVID-19 cases in Ontario, please note the following:
1) We will continue in-person worship as long as the government allows. You can join in-person or online worship according to your own considerations.
2) In-person Children Sunday Service is paused and we will monitor government updates regarding community cases and instructions for schools. Children are still welcome to join us for worship.
3) All non-worship-related gatherings in the church building are suspended until further notice.
4) We ask that you do not gather socially before or after in-person worship either in the building or in the church parking lot.
We ask that you remain vigilant in following the safety guidelines set by our local government to protect yourself and others. Please continue to pray not only for protection and for healing for those who have been impacted, but also for God’s Will to be done and His Word to continue to be shared.
Online Sharing and Prayer – Sunday at 11:00AM
During this season, many are unable to gather for in-person worship. As a result, they feel lonely and disconnected from the rest of the faith community.
We encourage you to join us for a time of sharing and prayer after our live-stream so you can connect with and support others who are worshipping online.
