On Friday, April 16, 2021 the Ontario government issued further restrictions for various businesses and places of worship. Premier Ford’s announcement strengthened the current Stay-At-Home-Order which will be enforced across Ontario. This is in effect for the remainder of the month of April 2021 and up until May 19, 2021. Of particular interest to us is that effective MONDAY, April 19 (20th), 2021 at 12:01 a.m., the government is limiting the capacity of weddings, funerals, and religious services, rites or ceremonies to 10 people indoors or outdoors. Social gatherings associated with these services such as receptions are prohibited, except for with members of the same household or one other person from outside that household who lives alone. Drive-in services are permitted. The following website will give you the full release for your reference:

Therefore, church services will continue online only, no in-person gatherings, until after May 20, 2021. We continue to trust the LORD as together we lead through these challenging times.
