Sunday Worship

September 15, 2021 Update:

Friends,

This week we were told that Nova Scotia would remain in Phase 4 of the reopening plan until at least October 4th. In Phase 4, we can have up to 125 people in the sanctuary with distancing and masks. If you are interested in attending the in person worship on Sunday please let us know by email or a phone call so we can place you on the contact list.

The online worship service will continue to be posted on Facebook and our website and hopefully will be ready by 3pm on Sunday afternoon.

As we await the final phase of reopening the Church Council and various groups are talking about how and when to restart the activities and events we have postponed because of the pandemic. Please keep watching the website and our social media for more information.

Above all, please continue to pray for each other as we move through this 4th Wave and let us encourage and support one other in love and faith.

God Bless,

Rev. Peter
