Hello Friends,
Daylight Savings Time: Please remember to push ahead your clocks 1 hr. on Sundays. Sorry but that’s one less hour or sleep! Thankfully it’s March Break so for those with school age family members, you have a week for them to adjust before they have to return to school.
Worship Time: No change. We have opened in person and our live stream will start at 10am Eastern Daylight Time.
For clarity, if you are hoping to join us in-person:
Masking: Masks are required to be worn indoors. Medical masks are available to anyone who needs them.
Vaccination: Proof of Vaccination is required for everyone over the age of 12. TCBC requires all staff and those helping out in worship to be fully vaccinated (as defined by provincial and federal health authorities). For the most part, our church members have high rates of vaccination and can join our in-person worship if they so wish. We regret that returning to in-person worship can not be extended to unvaccinated teens and adults for now.
Self-Quarantine: We ask that household members refrain from attending any in-person church activities if there is a positive case of COVID-19 in their home. This is regardless of their vaccination status.
Self-Screening: We ask that, prior to attending an in-person event, you do a COVID-19 self-assessment, if you show any symptoms please join us on-line rather than coming in-person. This includes understanding of federal travel guidelines . You will not need to show proof of verification of daily screening. It is something we trust you to do on your own.
Cohorting and Physical Distancing: Cohorting (staying in your household bubble) and distancing is no longer required. There is no assigned seating. Please be respectful of others though who may want to keep social distance for their own peace of mind.
Use of Church: Limitations on in-person gatherings and assemblies have been removed and fellowship groups can plan and host in-person events on church property. Please coordinate your space needs with the church secretary.
On-line participation: We will continue our livestream Sunday worship and there are a number of on-line groups continuing to provide a place of learning, prayer, spiritual care and support. Please send a request to em@tcbc.on.ca if you are interested in learning about how to connect with others on-line.
Thank you for your patience as we move ahead cautiously into a less restrictive environment.
Blessings,
Pastor Nolan Lee
