Greetings to everyone,
As our Provincial Government navigates through the current stage of the pandemic with the physical and mental health of Albertans in mind, we as a church board are meeting together to implement new directives as they arise.
Currently, Sunday morning service will continue in person and live stream with a few changes in addition to the guidance already put into action, which you can find below. This includes wearing a mask the duration of being inside the church; masks are also now required to be worn while visiting the church at any time. Second, our gathering size is now 15% (60 people) in the main sanctuary and attendance beyond that (up to a limit as well) will be guided to the gym with seating and live stream of the service.
Church programs, unless they are run virtually (online through Zoom, Google Meet etc.) are cancelled until the new year.
I encourage all to stay in contact with your friends and family through email, texting, other social media formats. My generation and older relied on the telephone as one of the main means of communication when in person visiting was not possible.
Lastly, take time to pray for God's guidance for those in all levels of leadership.
The Lord bless you, and we look forward to seeing you,
Michael Kirylchuk
Board Chairman
