The Church Board Meeting previously scheduled for Thursday, May 21st, 2020 has been CANCELLED due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Rev. LeAnn Blackert, our Community of Faith Supervisor, is tentatively planning the next Church Board Meeting via a conference call meeting in about 6 weeks, and so a new date will be set by sometime in the latter part of June (could even extend to July depending on what there is for business).
As always, any updates will be posted on this website as soon as they become available. Stay safe all!
All regular worship services scheduled for the immediate future will remain cancelled in the interest of the safety of all involved.
With what we know right now and with all of the advice we are hearing from our various levels of governments and health officials, it has been decided that all regional worship services including ours will remain cancelled through to the fall at the earliest.
This decision will be re-evaluated as more becomes known, and any updates will be put up on this website and the church online calendar as soon as possible. Stay safe everyone!
Here is the latest official Regional information from Rev. Blackert
The Region is in Phase 1 (different than the Provincial plan) of a plan toward reopening. Phase 1 is for no worship gatherings at this time. Phase 2 is a possibility in the fall. One of the considerations is the risk factor for congregants. Everyone at Zion is in the high-risk category.
They mentioned Living Springs United Church in Alberta. This congregation met on March 15th (the first Sunday we were suspended) and practiced all the safe social distancing, food etiquette instructions, etc. made available at the time. In the community of roughly 45 people, 24 contracted COVID, and 2 died. This is what everyone wants to avoid.
Further to worship cancellations announced several weeks ago, all regular worship services scheduled for the immediate future will remain cancelled in the interest of the safety of all involved.
With what we know right now and with all of the advice we are hearing from our various levels of governments and health officials, it has been decided that our local worship services will remain cancelled through at least the first 3 weeks of May, and then perhaps even through the rest of May or June or beyond.
This decision will be re-evaluated as more becomes known, and any updates will be put up on this website and the church online calendar as soon as possible. Stay safe everyone!
Further to worship cancellations announced a couple of weeks ago, all regular worship services scheduled for the immediate future will be cancelled in the interest of the safety of all involved.
With what we know right now and with all of the advice we are hearing from our various levels of governments and health officials, it is certain that this situation will extend through April, most probably through May, and then perhaps even through June or beyond.
This decision will be re-evaluated as more becomes known, and any updates will be put up on this website and the church online calendar as soon as possible. Stay safe everyone!
At the Church Board Meeting held last week, it was decided that the regular worship services scheduled for the next 3 weeks will be cancelled in the interest of the safety of all involved. This decision will be re-evaluated as more becomes known, and any updates will be put up on this website and the church online calendar as soon as possible. Stay safe everyone!
Services are cancelled for March 22nd, March 29th, and April 5th.
The date of our next Church Board Meeting is Sunday, March 1st, 2020 starting at 12:30 pm in the Church Hall. A member of the Pacific Mountain Region clergy will attend this meeting in the absence of our own Minister. While non-Board members cannot vote at these meetings, Church Board meetings are open to any member of our congregation who wishes to attend. This is a great opportunity to find out more about our church and how it operates. It is also a great chance to participate in conversations and ask questions.
