Provincial Guidelines

• Please make yourself familiar with the official guidelines at this link.
• Those who are “medically vulnerable are strongly encouraged to delay their return to services and continue to participate in services online, where possible.” Furthermore, we ask that you stay home if you are sick or have any symptoms associated with COVID-19.
• “All physical contact, such as handshaking or passing objects between individuals, is not permitted.” We also ask that physical distancing be maintained between household units.
• Masks must be worn if and when you are singing. (You do not need to wear a mask if you will not be singing.) Please bring your own mask if possible. We will have some available for those unable to supply their own.

Seating Guidelines

• Chairs will be arranged in rows which have been spaced 6’ apart. Within each row, the chairs themselves have been spaced a few inches apart from each other, so that if we leave three empty chairs in between family units we will be maintaining proper social distancing.
• Please do not move chairs around, as the proper spacing is important.
• We also ask that, if possible general, you remain seated once you have taken your seat until the service starts.

Other Changes and Adaptations

• Per the province’s guidelines, we will not be passing a mic around for prayer & share time. Prayer requests will continue to be submitted via text message.
• There will be a box by the back entrance for you to deposit your offering. We also encourage you to become familiar with our new online giving system, which allows giving via text message. Click here for more info.
• We hope to have a nursery room set up for mothers with infants.
• Weather-permitting, we will move outside after the service for our time of conversation. As this becomes less and less of a possibility, let’s work to maintain proper distancing.
