While singing is discouraged, we are going to begin today with the first and last verse of a hymn. To keep risk to a minimum, you may sing if you are wearing a mask. The officiant and the reader are not required to wear a mask at the front of the church, if 4-meters distance from the congregation is maintained. Anyone who is high risk, including elderly and people with underlying health issues, are advised to remain at home for your safety and protection. At Home Sunday School Starts Nov. 1st!

Thank you to Royce Brown for coordinating our schedule and to all the volunteers! 5 Deepest Sympathy to the family of Mary Scott who died this week. Please remember the Scott family in your prayers. Remembrance Sunday, Nov. 8, 10:30 am Given the COVID situation, instead of a combined church parade for Veterans,.each church will host its own Remembrance observance on Sunday, Nov. 8, inviting all men and women who have served in the military to wear their medals/decorations. If you belong to an association, Legion, ANAVETS, Peacekeeper etc. you are invited to wear your uniform. Those who have deceased relatives who served are encouraged to bring the medals of that person to honour their memory. As we remember and honour those who served, families will remain in their ‘bubble’ and comfort zone. Also, those attending will be able to see the people that have served that otherwise they would not have known. The objective is to honour and remember while minimizing movement, maintaining distance, and following protocols. There will also be a scaled-back ceremony at the War Memorial on Remembrance Day. Details will be forthcoming. Bulletin Board Recorded Worship Services are recorded live Sunday morning and will be available for viewing later Sunday evening on Facebook, YouTube, and our Website. All Saints Day, Nov. 1 - 10:30 am Holy Eucharist (BAS) Remembrance Sunday, Nov. 8 – 10:30 am Holy Euch. (BAS) Veterans and members of organizations are invited to wear medals and uniforms. You are also invited to bring the medals of loved ones to honour their memory and service. 6 .
