Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

As we, the Church, continue to respond to the current pandemic, it has been decided by the Bishops of our Ecclesiastical Province that immediate suspension of corporate worship is the most thoughtful and responsible measure for us to take in effort to stem the spread of COVID-19?(see the?Metropolitan's letter).? In addition to the suspension of our public worship, all meetings for at least the next two weeks will also be cancelled or postponed.? Please know that I will be available by phone, and in needful situations, in person.? There will be prayer resources posted on the Provincial website (www.province-ontario.anglican.ca) and, if you are on the email list for Christ Church, you will also be receiving emails from me.

I encourage each of you to continue to pray not only for those who are sick but also for medical professionals and research workers as the deal on the front line.

Please check up on each other so that no one becomes socially isolated.? You are all in my prayers.

In Christ?s love,

Joan+
