Revised Provincial Stay at Home Order
On April 16, the Province announced a heightened stay-at-home order to combat the rising number of infections, effective Monday, April 19. The new order reduces attendance to 10 persons at church services. We support the stay-at-home order and as has been the case since last March, the ordinary Christian obligation of Sunday attendance remains in abeyance. Sunday services will now be reduced to 10 persons with full safety guidelines and practices in place. Prayers are ongoing for the health of the community and an end to the pandemic. Schedule The full schedule of in-person and online services and programs can be found on the online church calendar - www.stpl.ca/calendar.html - or here: www.stpl.ca/services.html. This is the quickest and easiest way to get service and program information. Sunday Services by Phone on Zoom The weekly Sunday recording can be heard by phone on Zoom.
