Weekly Announcements

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.

Vacation Bible Camp – Aug 2-12

After the past 2 years of hosting our camp virtually, God has shown us a need to welcome our children back and to help them know that the God we worship doesn’t just live in our devices – He is living and active in our world!

This year, VBC will be limited to 60 campers with a focus on reuniting NT kids for fellowship and discipleship. This smaller camp will allow us to follow capacity limits (if any exist by August) and facilitate better bonding between our campers and leaders.

Please note that registration is not guaranteed until payment has been received.
