In keeping with current government guidelines around gatherings and events,all our worship services and activities at the church are cancelled until further notice.
The only exception is that for now, our "soup kitchen" time slot on Sundays (5-6 pm, April 5 and 19) will go ahead, but instead of serving a meal we will have volunteers available to give out a few items from our food pantry to those in need. We will attempt to do this with as little direct contact as possible and only one person at a time will be allowed into the building to collect food items.
Announcements relevant to church members, and some Sabbath morning online worship activities, are being shared on our church's private Facebook group, which you can request to join. Message this page for more information if needed. We pray that all our members and friends will remain safe and well during these difficult times.
