CHURCH SERVICES AND PROGRAMS ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING.
The following Covid-19 protocols are in place for attending services and meetings: We are following the provincial guidelines. Thus, as of Mar. 21/22, there will be no mandatory masking, social distancing, or contact tracing. HOWEVER, we still wish to be cautious and considerate of the vulnerable among us. To that end, we are recommending that people continue to sit with their ‘bubbles’, and wear masks if they wish.

Sundays
Morning Worship Service
During the school year, Sunday morning worship service begins at 10:30 a.m. and typically wraps up close to 11:30 pm (or shortly thereafter).
Services consist of a time of music, reading from God’s Word, prayer, and worship followed by a sermon delivered by the Pastor.
NOTE: Sermons are available on our YouTube channel. If our pastor is away, there will be no sermon on YouTube, and that will be reflected in the online calendar.
Corporate worship is an important time where we can come together as God’s family and learn from His living Word and be encouraged by one another, in our walk with God. The Holy Bible is the authoritative source for all our spiritual learning and discernment.
Music is currently a hybrid of hymns and music accessed through YouTube.
Sunday, May 29 is our Anniversary Sunday. Instead of a potluck breakfast, we’ll have a luncheon after the service, celebrating our 146th anniversary! Come and join us.

Missions
Beyond our doors is a world that needs the love and assurance that God’s loves applies equally to them. The opportunities that God grants us to come alongside Him in His world and work is both rewarding and humbling. If you are aware of a need that you might suggest we consider supporting, our leadership team would be interested in hearing from you.
