CoVID-19 Update: Sept 3
RETURN TO IN-PERSON WORSHIP:
Our church council continues to follow the COVID-19 situation closely, have returned to in-person worship on September 12.
We are so looking forward to seeing everyone weekly!
However, it is a reality that, as of this week, only 58.6% of all people in Alberta have been fully vaccinated. Cases of COVID-19 are increasing rapidly. We know that members of our Glory family are at many different stages and comfort levels at this time: some are fully vaccinated and some are not, we are all different ages and with varied health concerns, some are caregivers to fragile family members, work situations are different for all, etc.
We received a letter of encouragement and advice from Bishop Larry Kochendorfer this past week. (I encourage you to read it! You can find it here.)
At this time, with respect to any in-person gatherings, for meetings and worship, he strongly encourages being vaccinated and continued use of masks, physical distancing, and careful sanitization. He states that “In all situations, err on the side of love for your neighbour.”
As we care for each other, Glory’s church council has made the decision to be very cautious as we return to in-person worship and to move forward with small steps as we worship together. The plan right now is as follows (subject to change):

- Please choose to worship online if you are not feeling well.
- Physical distancing and sanitizing will continue.
- The use of face masks is now mandatory for all indoor public spaces, including places of worship, in Alberta. Masks will, therefore, be required when attending in person worship services.
- Congregation members are asked to bring their own communion elements Sundays when communion is celebrated. (This will generally be on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month.)
- We will plan to meet outside the church after services - bring coffee in an insulated “to-go” mug
- Kids Church and Worship Choir will not begin immediately in September.
- Blessing of Backpacks will take place on September 19.
- We plan to live stream the worship services – you will be able to find the bulletin and the link to the service on Glory’s website (click here!). A recording of the service may also be posted. Knowing that technology is not without glitches, one of these options should be available each week.
