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 the easing of government restrictions, we are increasing our capacity limit to allow for more attendees. Everyone will still 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.
