“The Church by the Side of the Road”
We are currently offering both in person and virtual worship. Covid restrictions are in place for worship & Sunday School according to provincial health regulations and United Church of Canada recommendations.
UPDATE – As of November 21, our sanctuary has reopened to full capacity and pre-registration is no longer required. Vaccine Status Verification, mask wearing and obtaining information for contact tracing will still take place in keeping with government health mandates. When you attend worship, you will be given the option of signing a waiver allowing the church to keep your vaccination status on file for all future worship services. Please contact the church office at 834-4567 if you have any questions or if you require assistance accessing or printing your proof of vaccination.
As members of our Sunday School will continue to use a separate entrance in accordance with the UCC policy, they will either need to have their QR code scanned at the main door before entering the back door or show their print proof of vaccination at the back door.
Please visit the GovNL website for more information on proof of vaccination and the latest provincial health mandates. GovNL Website
