"In this Together"Churches to reopen September 6 An Information leaflet on the Reopening of the Church has been sent to everyone in the Parish this week. This will help to prepare you for what to expect when you return to Church. If you have any questions, you may wish to contact your Wardens, who are now familiar with the reopening plan and are busy preparing the Churches in accordance with our Diocesan directives. There are several additional jobs that will require volunteers. If you can help, please contact your wardens. And if you haven't already received an Information leaflet, entitled "Getting Ready to Open our Doors" in the mail, contact Canon Susan at: 613-732-0313. If you need to reach Bishop Michael, he can be reached at: 613-401-8976, and Rev. Matthew can be reached through the Holy Trinity office 613-732-4658. |
