Well, we have finally waited long enough! Church services start Wednesday, September 2, 2020 at noon and Sunday September 6, 2020 at 10am. The Rectors Warden, Lois Tirebuck has started phoning to take reservations for each church service. Under the Covid restrictions, a reservation is required – no drop ins. Lois will continue to phone everyone weekly to make sure there will be a seat for anyone wanting to come. Please note you may not be seated where you have been used to sitting.

When you arrive at the church, you will be provided with hand sanitizer and will need to respond to a health questionnaire. Contact information will be gathered and a Parish Council member will usher you to your seat. Masks are mandatory and will be provided if you do not have one. For communion, you will be escorted to front of the church and back to your seat before the next parishioner is escorted to the front. We will also be using the choir loft. Should you require the bathroom facilities, only one person at a time. Washrooms will be sanitized between users. There will be no singing until further notice.

OTHER GOOD NEWS!

  • We have hired a new part time church secretary who will start the first week in October. She is currently employed as a church secretary in White Rock.
  • A reminder that the coffee hour will continue to be held on the west side of the church at 10:30 Monday mornings. Please remember to RSVP to Jennifer Coolen.  It is a great opportunity to re-unite with old friends and also meet some new ones.  
  • There will be a Healing Service on August 30 at 4 pm on the west side of the church. To submit requests, please leave a message on the church answering machine at 250-286-1613. Also, information is available on the church website.
  • The outside painting is all but complete, what a refreshing look! The siding will be underway before the end of the month. This will complete the outside work for this year.  
  • Last but not least, there will be a council member present in the church parking lot from 10-11 should you want to drop off your weekly offering.  

Stay well, stay safe - we are looking forward to seeing everyone in September.
