Dear Congregation, We are pleased to announce that services will resume in the Church this coming Sunday, September 27th, at 10.30 am. Your Parish Council have with Pastor Jim reflected long and hard how to both welcome everyone back into the Church building and abide by the safety guidelines required by the Province and set out by the Diocese. We want everyone to feel welcome but also safe and at ease. The following protocol (see below) is our best solution for allowing... as many folks as possible to attend the service while maintaining health and safety. Some of you may feel alienated by having to make a reservation but this is our best way to organize seating so that no one has to be turned away at the door. If we find that more people are reserving than can be allowed to attend at one time, we will look to alternative solutions such as holding a second service. We. really appreciate your patience, understanding and co-operation as we work to support each and every one of us in their practice of their faith.
