GC Life COVID-19 NOTICE - COMING BACK TOGETHER TODAY! Welcome to our service, if you are here in-person please have a coffee and take some time to reconnect woth our community before and after the service. We are delighted to have you back to worship every week at our gathered services, starting today! The BC Ministry of Health has said, “as COVID-19 vaccinations are administered throughout the province, we can gather in-person again to share hope, healing, restoration and recovery.” This is encouraging news! We will continue to monitor updates from the Public Health Office. We still recommend our community to wear masks inside the building and although restrictions have been lifted, we are mindful that levels of confidence and comfort within our community vary. To this end, it is important that we all continue to adopt positive prevention measures - this is the best way we can show our love and care for one another, and support those working tirelessly to defeat this disease. And if this is feels still too much for you right now, that’s fine, our services will continue to be made available via livestream.
