A Welcomed Invitation!
Greetings All Saints!
I have a few things to update you on.
As we all know vaccinations in Ontario are increasing and the province continues to loosen restrictions. The re-opening committee has been working and I am pleased to report that our current plan is to resume in person worship services starting September 12th. Obviously, the reopening will be in accordance with provincial guidelines and also observing any guidelines dictated to us by either the Anglican Diocese and/or the Eastern Lutheran Synod. We look forward to seeing everyone in person again, but we also understand everyone needs to do what they are comfortable with and what is best for them. More details will be forthcoming as we get closer to this date.
As part of the reopening, we need additional volunteers to assist with sanitizing the church and ensuring our worship space is disinfected. If you are interested in being on this sub-committee, please contact me at mweigel1968@gmail.com or call me at 519-830-3103. Thank you in advance for your prayerful consideration. Remember if everyone does a little, no one has to do a lot!
In conjunction with in person worship services starting again, the church office will also reopening as of September 12th. Just a reminder that appointments will need to be booked in advance. To book an appointment please e-mail the church office at allsaints@allsaintsguelph.ca or call 519-821-7710.
Additionally, as we approach the return to in person worship for everyone’s safety, we encourage you to get vaccinated as it not only protects you, but everyone around you.
Lastly, as part of the provincial guidelines we need to ensure we have contact tracing in place for everyone entering the church building. If you enter the church, you will notice there are is a notice, a clipboard with forms, a pen and a table at each entrance to the building. Anyone who enters the church needs to sign this once for each day they enter the building.
I want to thank everyone in advance for their co-operation.
Take care,
Mark
Council Chair
