WHAT'S  HAPPENING!

SUMMERTIME SUNDAY WORSHIP HOURS:  From July 4 through September 5 Sunday worship will be held at 10:30 a.m.

GREETER SIGN UP SHEET – Just a reminder that there is a “Greeter Schedule” posted at the back door. During “Covid-19” we have new greeter roles to fill. We’d love to have you help out. Three people are required each Sunday: someone asking the screening questions, someone recording the names and someone ushering. As well, volunteers are required for cleaning following the service. If you would like to volunteer in one of these roles some Sunday morning, kindly fill in your name by that particular Sunday or call the Church office at 459-3313. Thanks!

​PROTOCOLS FOR WHEN COVID RESTRICTIONS ALLOW IN-PERSON WORSHIP:

- Physical distancing protocols mean that we can seat approximately 50 in our worship space.  
- You will be asked the basic COVID-19 health questions as you arrive.
- Your names and phone numbers will be recorded as you arrive to adhere to contact tracing protocols.  
- Physical distancing of 2 metres/6 ft must be maintained unless you are in a bubble together.
- You will need to use hand sanitizer before and after service.
- Masks must be worn at all times when entering and leaving the building and also while seated.  When in the red phase or when physical distancing of 2 meters cannot be maintained, masks are also required while outside the church.
- Pew cushions have been removed.  You may bring in your own cushion if you wish.
- No congregational singing is allowed (Hymn books have been removed).  No choir. 
- No hugging or hand shakes.  (Instead, enjoy those smile crinkles peeking out from the masks!)  
- Even when restrictions allow in-person worship, worship services will continue to be live-streamed and the worship services will be emailed to the congregation. We will be together in worship wherever we are.  

LENDING LIBRARY - To keep everyone as safe as possible, we ask that when returning books, you place them in a bag with a note indicating the date, and leave them on the bottom shelf of the library (it is marked for you).  Books will be set aside for 4 days before being put into circulation.  Thank you all and happy, healthy reading!

"OUR DAILY BREAD" - Copies of “OUR DAILY BREAD” (Jun/July/Aug) are available at both entrances of the Church. These copies are provided free of charge, however, a container for those wishing to make a donation to Radio Bible Class is available.

JIGSAW PUZZLE LIBRARY - Doing puzzles is a great way to pass the time in the cold winter months.  Just a reminder that we have a lovely selection of jigsaw puzzles in the choir room. They are available to anyone who would like to borrow them.  When returning the puzzles, please put date of return on puzzles so the puzzles can be set aside for the number of days required to satisfy Covid requirements, before being put back in circulation.  Donations of puzzles are greatly appreciated.
                                                                                        
BULLETIN DEDICATION - Anyone wishing to sponsor a Sunday bulletin to celebrate a family event, special day, or memorial can do so by contacting the church secretary at 459-3313.  The cost is $20."
