Worship Service each Sunday
9AM
More details from Reverand Jeannie:
Dear Friends,
According to the diocesan COVID-19 Plan (updated on August 25, 2020), faith communities are now allowed to resume public worship services. Accordingly, unless the wardens and I hear differently, we will resume our Sunday gatherings on September 6th at 9 a.m.
The wardens and I anticipate mixed reaction to this news. While some have told us they are keen to return to our church building, others have confided that - for reasons relating to their own or to a family member’s health and well-being - they have concerns. Please, let’s respect each other’s decision.
For those who do plan to return to Christ Church Aylmer, kindly bear in mind the following: Our manner of worship will be different. It will be organised to maximize public safety by reducing three risks of virus transmission: closed spaces; crowded places; and close contact.
According to diocesan regulations:
• All people who feel unwell must refrain from participating in worship
• Attendees must share their contact information with the person who greets them
• Attendees must wear face masks, observe physical distancing and use hand-sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol
• There will be no congregational singing; the use of wind and brass instruments also is prohibited
• Only bread will be distributed during communion
• No food or drink will be served either before or following worship
• Church school and nursery service are not allowed
• So long as weather permits, doors and windows are to be kept open to ensure improved ventilation
Work has been done and will continue throughout this week to ensure that our worship space is clean and disinfected. Sanitizer will be placed inside its entrance way and throughout it. Building areas unavailable for use will be marked with signage. Basic disinfecting wipes will be placed in the washroom. You also may want to bear in mind that the number of worshippers in limited to one-third of the worship space’s capacity (approximately 40). While it is unlikely that we will exceed that number, if you do wish to guarantee a place at worship, please email me before Friday at ejloughrey@gmail.com or leave a message at 819.664.5058. If we exceed capacity, a follow-up note will be distributed.
With sincere thanks,
Jeannie
