COVID-19 UPDATE: In light of the recent exponential increase in active COVID cases, the new government regulations under code red and a directive from Geoff our Bishop, we have decided to SUSPEND all in-person worship services for the next two weeks. After that we will reassess the situation. The services previously scheduled for Sunday November 1st and 8th will be available only online on Facebook and the Parish website. Our worship team will be following all the required protocol and safety measures and will LIVE stream the service at 10:30am Sunday morning from the sanctuary. Let's continue to pray for all those who provide medical attention and care to COVID-19 patients as well as the patients and their family members.

Now more than ever we must remember to think of those around us. As the current public health crisis continues to rise in our city we must do what we can to help protect the most vulnerable in our lives. We need to remember that in many cases it may not feel like the situation will directly impact us, but we do not know the impact our actions might have on those around us. We must think of others and do what we can to keep each other safe. Let's continue to follow the required protocol and guidelines to help us get through these difficult times. Let us also offer prayers for those we have lost and the people who are currently sick, we pray for their quick recovery.
