We continue in the Green phase of recovery in our region, but case numbers and hospitalizations have been on the rise, and the government of New Brunswick has mandated new restrictions for all indoor venues. This includes us. So here is the plan that we’ve come up with for the short term based on the current mandate:
From now until Sunday Nov. 21 (barring stricter restrictions), we will have two worship services each Sunday, a Eucharist service that will meet in person at 9:30am with orange-level restrictions (50% capacity, masking, distancing, no singing, strict contact tracing) and a Morning Prayer service that will meet interactively by Zoom at 11:00am. In addition, Pilgrim and Men’s Bible study will meet by Zoom rather than in person, and Upper Corner Café and Midweek Bible study will go on temporary hiatus. Please see our updated Operational Plan for more.
I realize this is very challenging. It’s been a long journey to this point, and we are not out of the woods yet. Let’s find ways to reach out and encourage one another in the days and weeks ahead.
The worship schedule for October is as follows:
October 3 Holy Communion at St. John’s (9:30am)
Morning Prayer by Zoom (11:00am)
October 10 Holy Communion at St. Mark’s (9:30am)
Morning Prayer by Zoom (11:00am)
