We are opening - with hope!

The corporation (the wardens and the priest) met to prayerfully discuss whether or not to open for in-person services on Easter Sunday.  The current government of Ontario and Durham Region guidelines allow for us to open to 1/3 capacity, as we did prior to Christmas.  Along with many other churches in our area, and throughout the diocese of Toronto, we decided to open for in-person services this coming Sunday.  We made this decision based on local numbers, the safety of our protocols (see below for a refresher) and on what many of you said to us.

That said, we are keeping a very close eye on what is unfolding this week and will not hesitate to cancel in-person worship if it is deemed the wisest and safest thing to do for our community.

Our current protocols...

* service will be livestreamed at 11 am on Sunday morning for those choosing to not attend

* everyone is required to wear a mask at all times during the service and to sanitize their hands upon entering, after recieving communion, when leaving  

* please do not attend if you are feeling even the slightest bit unwell or know you've been near someone with Covid-19

* we would kindly request that folks from out of town not attend - not because we don't want to welcome you, but simply because we want to be extra cautious about the potential spread of varients in our community (which is currently not reporting such spread)

* we will be sanitizing the sanctuary in between services and request that people leave imediately following the postlude to accomodate our cleaning team - you are welcome to visit with each other outside at a distance
