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 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.

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.

* Both courses are on Monday evenings from 7:30-9:00 PM and are run on a bi-weekly schedule.

University Ministry Update / General Message

We are asking students to wait for us to build a SG ministry to serve university students year-around. We are actively praying for God’s help, and working with the church on this.

In the meantime, we will work with you to feel belonging in our community. Please speak to Abraham ([email protected]) whenever you are in-town (for school or work) or have any questions about SG / Community life in general.

Starting in May 2022, we are committed to plan for something permanent for university students.

Please inquire with Abraham ([email protected]) about permanently joining a small group (university or young adult) when you are in town and able to commit.
