Tentative Date for Reopening of In-Person Worship Services
Tentative Date for Reopening of In-Person Worship Services – Our Reopening Committee has been working diligently to prepare protocols and procedures for reopening our worship services to the congregation. We have set our target date for our first fall Worship Service for Sunday, September 27. This is a TENTATIVE date, so please watch for more information. There will be one Sunday service per week at 10:00 am, for a maximum of 40 minutes. There will be no choir and no congregational singing (although quiet humming is allowed). We plan to live-stream the worship services and record them to be made available for viewing by those who do not wish to attend church in-person at this time. Those wishing to attend a worship service must register with the office in advance and should call (902) 681-0366 ext 1 or email adminovu@bellaliant.com. The deadline for registering will be Saturday noon, prior to the Sunday service. More information will be forthcoming. Thank you for your patience.

Invitation to Participate
Invitation to Participate – Do you love to read, or have a flair for the dramatic? Is poetry something you love to share with others? Do you love to read stories for children to enjoy? If you have answered yes to any of the above, or if you have something unique to offer to our weekly recorded services, Rev. Don and the Worship Committee would love to hear from you. We would love to expand the already fabulous group of people contributing through reading scripture and poetry, reading to or engaging our children and youth, and sharing a Minute for Mission. If you would be interested or willing to share your talents, please reach out to Rev. Don or Theresa to share your interest in participating. Your church family would love to see you, and we would love to welcome you to our weekly creative worship endeavors!
Video Recorded Worship Services
Video Recorded Worship Services – In this time of uncertainty, Rev Don wants to keep our worship family together in spirit, if not in body. Therefore, he will be preparing a series of short worship services, to be shared with our church family.
