In-Person Worship

Starting this Sunday November 7th, we will no longer require registration, or have a capacity limit on our in-person Sunday attendance. In order to make this possible, if you are attending in-person and are over the age of 12, you must show proof of vaccination every time.

While we do not yet have an in-person children’s program, children under the age of 11 are welcome to attend and stay with their family during the service. Children may borrow books or colouring materials to use during the service from the children’s area, and one family may choose to use the children’s area rather than being seated in the pews.

Please follow these guidelines for in-person worship in order to keep the experience as COVID safe as possible:

  • In order to enter the building, each person must be fully vaccinated if they are over the age of 12, or have a medical exemption (you must speak to Emily Gordon in advance about the medical exemption), and fill out an attestation form, if you have not already done so.
  • Wear a mask at all times in the building.
  • Maintain social distancing from those not in your bubble whenever possible.
  • Arrive at the church 10 minutes before the service begins to show proof of vaccination, sign in and find your seat.
  • Please arrive on time to facilitate sign in and showing proof of vaccination.
  • Everyone will use the Main Millwood (ramp) entrance to enter, sign in, and exit the building.
  • If you have any COVID symptoms, have had contact with a known COVID case, or are waiting for the results of a COVID test you must stay and worship at home.
  • During in-person worship, please remain seated during hymns and do not sing.
  • Following worship, if you wish to speak to other attendees, you are invited to exit the building first, and do so on the lawn.

If you are considering baptism for yourself or child (children), we are conducting baptism services with COVID-19 protocols in place. Contact Emily Gordon for more information about baptism at Leaside United.

Please speak to Anne Raby or Emily Gordon (emily@leasideuc.com or 647-303-6709) if you have any questions about the in-person worship option.

We will continue to provide online worship services via YouTube and Zoom. We also look forward to spending time together outdoors for “In the Wild” worship services on the church lawn.

There are many ways to worship at Leaside United, inside, outside and online!
