God, you are patient, you are kind. you do not envy, do not boast, you are not proud. You are not rude or self-seeking, you are not easily angered and keep no record of wrongs.
You do not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth. You always protect, always trust, always hope, always persevere.
You never fail.
As Federal and Provincial Authorities loosen lock-down restrictions, the Church Board is considering the safest and most helpful ways to broaden our church's ministry. We want to be sure that worshippers can be safe, comfortable, and engaged. Some of the considerations that we must take into account are:
The result is that we will continue with online services, even when the building is opened up, to accommodate the more vulnerable people, and we will not open up the building until we have proven ways to make the experience safe and enjoyable.
Stay tuned, as we will update this information regularly.
Don't forget to join us for Live-streamed worship on Sundays at 10:00am.

For those with poor or non existent internet you can use a plain old telephone to listen to the service by dialing +1 226-316-3730 and entering the PIN: 448 803 235#. Our "Switchboard operator" will connect you to our Google Meet. (You will be 'muted' so that background noise in your home won't affect the listening experience for others.)
Please pass on this information to someone you know.
Special Note: The first Sunday of every month is Communion. Why not bring a little bread and some grape juice to wherever you are participating in worship (TV room/computer room) and be prepared to join with our scattered congregation as we draw near to Christ and one another.

Maybe you think that you've given up enough this Lent, but there are a few things you might not have considered giving up, things that would make your life better, and the burden of this lent lighter

The third plan takes you through all four gospels by reading 2-3 chapters per day, with breaks on Sundays. You can also complete the gospels by reading 2 chapters per day with no breaks. I'll be keeping up a quick commentary on the Gospels day by day in Lent following the published plan at "Thoughts and Prayers" on this site
