The final mask mandates put in place by the Ontario government are lifting June 11, and we know many organizations are making decisions to continue some form of mask requirements. At Leaside United Church, we have recognized that the risks increase with the larger gatherings for worship as well as singing, and have tried to balance this with the importance of both to our community of faith.
We ask that you, alongside our wonderful choir, continue to mask during worship and singing, for the safety and comfort of yourself and of the others in attendance at worship. Masks continue to be available at the door, should you forget your own.
If you have any communicable disease (whether or not it is Covid), we ask that you worship from home.
Please also remember that we also have a choice between distancing and non-distancing sections in our sanctuary – if you wish to distance simply sit on the side with roped off pews, and respect the space of those seated there. We also keep the windows open during the service to increase airflow.
Lemonade on the lawn is served outside to decrease the risk while providing an opportunity to gather with one another. Thank you to all the lemonade on the lawn volunteers.
Thank You for your support as we continue to try to keep one another both safe and comfortable.
