GC Life COVID-19 NOTICE - IN PERSON GATHERINGS We are excited to start our returning to Church in person! In accordance with the latest update from the Provincial Health Authority around COVID-19 safety protocols – we are recommending everyone who enters the church building to wear a mask but this is now optional. We encourage all our community to get vaccinated as soon as possible. The more of us that have the vaccine, the less chance there will be for the virus to spread amongst us.

We’re planning to fully come back to normal for a weekly in-person Hybrid Service starting on September 12th. There is no sign up or capacity limits, you can all come. And we are now able to sing with masks on! We can’t wait to see you! We’ll continue offering our livestream service via YouTube.

PICNIC IN THE PARK - JOIN US TODAY, NO SIGN UP REQUIRED! During this summer we will gather in the park for a picnic every Sunday after the service! Locations: Maple Grove (close to the swings). Only location this Sunday.

GIVING DURING OUR ONLINE SERVICES As part of our worship, we take an offering on Sunday mornings during our gatherings.

It is important to note that without meeting together regularly and participating in the weekly offering, the church finances are at risk.

There are several convenient ways to continue your regular giving: • Pre-Authorized Debit: We have PAD forms available to download off our website by which you can set up an automatic recurring donation directly from your bank account.

• Credit Card Online: The option to donate by credit card is available on our website (an admin fee will be deducted by CanadaHelps before disbursing the gift to Granville Chapel; CanadaHelps will also issue your charitable tax receipt).

• Cheque: Donations by cheque can be made payable to Granville Chapel and dropped off or mailed to the church at 5901 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V6M 3C9 where there is a secure silver mailbox next to the side door.

• Post-dated cheques can also be mailed to or dropped off at the church building (address above).

Thank you to all who are already giving generously!

OUR VISION IS TO BE A SPIRITUALLY VIBRANT COMMUNITY TRANSFORMED BY GOD’S LOVE EXTENDING GOD’S KINGDOM
