Opening Up
Stage 2 of the province’s reopening plan starts June 10. We are happy that the vaccination and hospitalization numbers have reached points where this is possible. This affects worship services in that 30% of fire code capacity is now allowed to attend. In this stage, physical distancing is still necessary. We are increasing our numbers to 170 this week. At this point, this is the only change that we are aware of, however we will keep track of government announcements and guidance documents and adjust as necessary.
To register, go to https://rsvp.church/r/bnMJXneH or call the church office at 780-454-8151. We are thankful for all who can come! If the service is full keep checking as spots do open up.
If you have registered but are unable to attend please go to the website https://rsvp.church/r/bnMJXneH and CANCEL YOUR REGISTRATION to free up space for someone else to attend. Alternately you can call the church office and leave a message 780-454-8151 or after Friday afternoon, you can call or text Michelle at 780-977-0795 with updates to your registration UNTIL 9 AM ON SUNDAY MORNING.

How are working within the AHS guidelines?
- Masks or face coverings are required as part of the City of Edmonton bylaw. There are exemptions for children under the age of 2 or those with some medical conditions. We also ask that you maintain 6 ft (2 m) of physical distance between individuals not in your household or cohort.
- If you are feeling ill, you must not come to church. Individuals are encouraged to consult the AHS Daily Screening checklist if they have any questions about this.
- You will be welcomed at the door by someone who will answer any questions you may have and confirm your health acknowledgement (required by Alberta Health Services). Please follow the guidelines you will find there.
- Seating in the sanctuary is available in every third row. This is to ensure 2m of distance between congregants. We ask that you leave 2 m of distance between yourself and people who are not in your household or cohort.
- Unfortunately, one of the conditions of in-person worship is that there not be communal/congregational singing at this time. Please feel free to hum, clap, raise hands, mouth words, dance, or tap your feet to participate in our worship through music.
- Exiting the sanctuary will be by section to ensure and allow for proper distancing.
