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. According to Bishop Asbil, that will likely remain the case until mid-July. We support the saftey guidelines and as has been the case since last March, the ordinary Christian obligation of Sunday attendance remains in abeyance. Church services are 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.

Freedom Session at St. Paul’s Registration Opens: May 16, 2021 Registration Closes: June 6, 2021 Booklet cost - $30 each, for the three booklets - $90 total Start Date: Foundations: (20weeks) June 16 , 2021 – October 27, 2021 (7 pm to 9 pm – online) Authentic Living: (8 weeks) January 12, 2022- March 2, 2022 (7 pm to 9 pm – online) Freedom Session is a proven healing-discipleship journey that challenges us to take an honest and in-depth look at the truth about ourselves, our lives and how we deal with life’s challenges, while experiencing the fullness of God’s love and His desire to see us whole. It is a 28-week intensive healing-discipleship program that offers practical strategies to deal with real issues such as broken relationships, abuse, depression, anger, fear and various forms of addiction. These are symptoms of a broken, wounded and empty heart that longs for hope and meaning. As we place our hearts in Jesus’ hands, unhealthy and destructive ways previously used to escape the pain becomes less and less attractive. Shame loses its grip and lies that once had a stronghold, are replaced by God’s truth. You are given tried, tested and true practical methods to live an abundant and authentic life. Freedom Session is writing your story with a new and God-inspired ending. Freedom Session is divided into three equally important stages. Foundations (20 weeks - "Facing the Truth" and "Finding Freedom") will start you on your journey, and "Authentic Living" (8 weeks) continues the story. Each session meeting begins with a practical large group teaching, and everyone separated into gender-specific small groups to discuss what was taught at a deeper level. Each week, there is an "On Your Own" homework assignment to further apply what you are learning. For more information, contact splcyouthministry@gmail.com or 416 499 1545.
