Announcements & Calendar
Important Announcement
We are sad to announce that due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic we are closing the church building for the near future. This is effective Friday March 20 at 4:00 PM. The Council decided to take this measure to respond to the health directives federally and provincially to minimize transmission. We have many vulnerable people in our congregation and we want to minimize “community spread”. The building will be accessed by staff as needed during this time.
Social distancing is the recommended practice but this is not a time for spiritual and emotional distancing in our community of faith. It is a time for our community to stay connected in other ways.
This is a time to center, to connect with God/ The Holy in ways that we may miss in busy times. We are never alone and this is a time to connect with the Eternal Love that is ever-present and always holding us. We need to come together in prayer, in faithful positive thinking and actions to be spiritually grounded amidst the fearful and chaotic energy of our times.
We are inspired and grateful for the leadership and soul searching that the council and staff have shared in this past week. The Lenten journey that we began together just weeks ago continues.
