WEUC COVID-19 Response Letter No. 7
Dear Willowdale Emmanuel United Church members,
We trust you are doing well considering this unprecedented time.
Toronto has now entered the Grey – Lockdown category of the Province’s COVID-19 response framework. Trips outside the home should only be for essential reasons such as groceries, medicine, health care appointments, exercise, school, child care and work that cannot be done from home. Learn about changes to City services and how you can reduce virus spread.
The above guidelines are for the period November 23 – December 21. While the government has indicated that places of worship may gather with a maximum of 10 people, the Emergency Response Team has made the decision to suspend in-house worship until further notice.
WEUC will continue to offer the following:
· Live-streaming of the Sunday service at 10:30 am on YouTube.
· Uploading of the service on YouTube for viewing as soon as it becomes available.
· A printed version of the service and sermon will be provided by email and regular mail.
In addition to the above, WEUC will offer the following:
· Church doors will be open during office hours 8:00 am – 3:00 pm Monday – Thursday.
· Starting November 30, anyone wanting to drop by during the hours of 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm for prayer/quiet time in the sanctuary are welcome to do so.
· In preparation for the prayer/quiet time:
The sanctuary will be decorated for Christmas
Christmas music will be playing
Paper hearts will be available for guests to record their thoughts and prayers and then decorate the chancel Christmas tree with the paper hearts
For your general reference, please see the following information and guidelines for health and safety during this time.
