Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information & Resources for Churches
Churches have an important role to play in the support of people and communities at this time.
The advice from the national office has been and continues to be that congregations are urged to follow the advice of Federal, Provincial and Municipal Health authorities and make decisions accordingly. This is the minimum requirement, but it is the first place to go in making a decision about how best to respond to the evolving situation.
