Greetings!
Starting this Sunday, January 17, we return to Church at Home as our singular Sunday worship experience at 9:30 am.
In light of the Provincial stay-at-home order and state of emergency, we are closing our physical church building for all non-essential access, including our live-streamed 11:15 am service. The current Provincial order takes us to the cusp of Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, at which point we will re-evaluate and communicate any changes to our entire community.
We are grateful to have developed such a robust worship experience in the form of Church at Home - one which has continued to grow and enabled us to worship safely and beautifully since March. If you are unable to tune in via phone or video at 9:30, we'll be posting links to our relevant sermons (via audio and video), alongside fantastic musical offerings from our 9:30 band and 11:15 soloists.
In the face of stay-at-home, there comes from God the summons to be church-at-home. That is, to learn to follow Jesus Christ wherever it is we find ourselves. As the Apostle Paul put it:
“...in every way now I have mastered the secret of all conditions: full stomach and empty stomach, plenty and poverty. There is nothing I cannot do in the One who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:12–13)
Yours in the strength of Christ,
Andrew
Rector, St. Clement's Church, Toronto
