In-Person Church Services Delayed

Today Premier Higgs and Jennifer Russel, Chief NB Medical Officer of Health, announced that the next stage of opening from the COVID-19 pandemic will be delayed for one week due to concern about spread from the outbreak in Campbellton. This means that churches will not be able to gather for in-person services for at least one more week . We are thankful for Premier Higgs, Dr. Jennifer Russell and the special COVID-19 cabinet team for their courage to make difficult choices in order to keep us safe.

This delay actually gives us more time to prepare for meeting together in person. Our COVID-19 Operational Plan is ready. We are quickly moving toward being able to live stream our weekend services. It is our plan for you to be able to join us in real time from the comfort and safety of your own home starting next Sunday, June 7.

Pastor Jason is going to focus on visiting next week. Because we were anticipating meeting in person this week, our online service will feature a replay of our January 25 sermon, with a couple of new music pieces with Joel and Laura.
Should You Attend In-Person or Online?

Choosing to attend in person or online can, for some, be stressful. On the one hand we have not been together with some of our closest friends in a couple of months. On the other hand, we might be uneasy about our own fragility. Our first priority is your health and safety, and we want to help make your decision stress-free. Here are some guidelines to help you.
  • If you are anxious about your own safety should you gather with us, we encourage you to meet with us online. We are so thankful that we live in a day when we can make this kind of ministry available to you.
  • If you provide care for someone who is high risk for more complicated symptoms of COVID-19, we encourage you to join us online. If you provide care for someone who is high risk for more complicated symptoms of COVID-19, we encourage you to join us online so that you can better keep your loved ones safe.
  • If you have a cottage or summer home out of town where you normally spend your weekends, please join us online from there. We will only be allowed to have 50 people gather at a time, and we love it that you make online gathering a priority. Maybe you can even shoot us a comment about the service.
  • If you are showing experiencing any of the COVID-19 symptoms that are not normal form you, we ask you to join us online from home until you are free from symptoms. If symptoms persist or worsen, please call 811 and follow health guidance.
  • If you have been in contact with someone who has been infected recently or has been out of province within the past 14 days, please follow health department instructions, and join us online.

We want to see you again, but more than that, we want you to be safe. So give yourself some grace - and take comfort in knowing that your church family loves you deeply.
