Hello Church Family,
 
As you know, our province like most others are feeling the impact of COVID-19 more and more each day. We are choosing to comply with the instructions given to us by the government during this COVID-19 crisis. We want to keep communication open with you as much as possible. First let me affirm what the authorities are saying: do not panic, remain calm, wash your hands, don’t hoard and we would add – TRUST IN THE LORD. Our lives and future are in the hands of the Lord.
 
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
 
Our Elder’s Council and Executive Board met last night to discuss what will need to happen for the Church in the immediate future.

1. Let’s look at this time as a PAUSE. Normally, we GO to church. Now, however, we are going to BE the Church.
2. There will be no Sunday services or other events and gatherings at the church building until further notice.
3. Pastor John will be in the church office Tuesdays-Fridays and Sunday from 9am-12noon. You are welcome to stop by and visit and pray with him.
4. Pastor John’s sermon are available in audio form on our church website. We hope to include his sermons on video on the website in the near future.
5. Pastor John will set up a group of members who will call the congregation on the phone to check in and make sure people are healthy, managing to get groceries, have any questions, or need prayer.
6. The prayer chain will continue so please let us know how we can support you and your family in prayer.
7. We will put notices in the door at the church, on the phone, on the website, and out by email.
8. If you are able to set up your offering by e-transfer, that would be best. Or you can drop if off when Pastor John is at the church.
9. If you know someone from our church who is not getting the emails, or has a need that we are unaware of, please let us know.

 
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
