Each Sunday we will be posting links to videos of parts of our Sunday worship servic.  As we grow more adept at this we will add additional parts of the service.  In creating these virtual services we are carefully following the physical distancing recommendations and we ask that you follow these each day as well.  

We want to thank all of your following the health guidelines.  The past several weeks have seen unprecedented new case numbers for Covid 19 in BC.  It is vital that you continue to be kind, be safe and be calm.  By continuing to physically distance, keep your circle small, and practice your faith.  With your continued support we know this approach will slowly and steadily begin to decrease the new case numbers.  As we begin to ease the current restrictions we will be required to use patience and abide by the new levels of activity that will be allowed.  

Our Virtual Services go "live" at 11 pm each Saturday night.
