COVID-19 Update: Alberta Enters Phase I

This is just a link.  For those of you who are interested in the details of Phase I as it applies to places of worship, click HERE.  The ultimate decision about whether or not the parish can open for services rests with the Anglican Diocese of Calgary...but...it's not looking great at the moment.  Several of our traditional worship practices are risky with respect to preventing spread of this highly contagious virus.  These include: congregational prayer, singing, sharing "the Peace" and participating in BOTH forms of the Eucharist (without modifications).  Let us be thankful we remain safe and well, and caring of each other.  Let us be thankful for online services and online gathering, regular phone and written communications...and prayer.  We can do this hard thing, by the grace of God.
