HELP US TO SPREAD OUR

LOVE AND FAITH

"And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."

Mark 12:30-31

Worship Service Reminders

As we continue to gather for worship at Redeemer, here’s a reminder of some of the practices we are following for your personal safety and peace of mind:

• Our sanctuary is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before worship services

• Our common areas and washroom are cleaned after worship services

• Holy Communion is once again being offered on the first Sunday of the month

• We are not permitted to sing hymns or responsives due to the increased risk of airborne droplets

• A Greeter is stationed at the side door between 9:30 and 10:00 to admit parishioners. Entry to the church is not be allowed once service begins so please arrive on time. 

• Greeters will register and pre-screen parishioners’ health conditions as they arrive

• Facemasks are mandatory (in accordance to our Municipal Bylaw)

• Hand sanitizing stations are available and parishioners are expected to sanitize as they arrive

• Ushers will be escorting and seating parishioners to better control physical distancing. Ushers will seat you prior to the service from FRONT to BACK in the sanctuary

• We will be dismissing at the close of the service from BACK to FRONT.

• Collection plates will not be passed – they are at the sanctuary doors for you to place your tithe in as you exit.

• Parishioners are reminded to please refrain from direct, personal contact with others, especially as they exit from service and leave the church

Finally, we remind everyone who does not feel well of if they are uncomfortable attending church by following our personal safety protocols to please stay home.

Be aware that we are no longer able to record our Sunday worship services ‘live’ each Sunday - in its place we will be offering a weekly ‘pre-recorded’ worship message and these will be once again available on our website each Sunday by 9 AM.

DONATE NOW

Please remember that your continued financial support is important so that we may keep our Church going during this pandemic. We realize that some of you may be facing financial hardship in the coming months, but if you can afford to continue giving, there’s a number of ways you can do so:

• You can sign up for the automatic giving program - please contact the Church office for details

• You can donate using Interac e-transfers.

• You can drop off your offering envelopes at the church, through our secure mail slot.

• You can mail your offerings to the church.

During this time of uncertainty, our greatest comfort is found in God’s Word. Even though we can’t ‘stay connected’ through our onsite Sunday Worship Services at Redeemer, we are working to find new ways so that we can draw closer to Him during these times. Please continue to support us with your time, talents and treasures as you are able.
