GC Life COVID-19 NOTICE - WORSHIPPING TOGETHER AGAIN! We were so pleased to welcome so many of you back last week for our in-person worship service.

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, but we remain 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. For example, we will ask everyone to wear masks inside the building, use the hand sanitizers and maintain social distancing. If all of this still feels too much for you right now, that’s fine, our services will continue to be made available via livestream.

LEAD PASTORS HEALTH UPDATES Thank you for your prayers for Andy and Marlene, for their family. You can post your messages of love, support and prayer at: caringbridge.org/visit/andy. perrett. This site will also host updates as and when they become available to share. We encourage you to take a moment to pray for them.
