FOR MARCH & APRIL
In-Person Worship - Suspended
We all have heard by now that Ontario is now in a stay-at-home order. Therefore, all in-person worship will be suspended immediately and we will only have drive-in worship for the next 4 weeks. Here is a note from our Bishop recommending this closure:
"Today the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, announced a Province-Wide Declaration of Emergency and Stay-At-Home Order beginning at 12:01am on Thursday, April 8, 2021. Restrictions will be in effect for 28 days.
It is Bishop Michael's strong counsel that Eastern Synod Congregations in the province of Ontario cease all in-person gatherings until Emergency and Stay-At-Home Orders have been lifted."
I support this directive and know that some of us are getting frustrated with these new developments. It is a hard decision that the church and myself had to make, but it is in the interest of keeping us all safe.
My prayers are with you all and remember that Christ is with you always!
We all will get through this.
