Good Day St. Paul's,

With increasing COVID cases and subsequent risk, it is important to observe distancing 2 meters from others of different households. Please maintain a one pew buffer between yourself and other parishioners and, if in the same row, please keep at least 2 metres from those from other households. Masking will also continue and masks continue to be available for those without one. Passing the peace will once again be done as visually passing of the peace from your seats. This is all to comply with provincial restriction, and to ensure the safety of others. Please see Rev. Myron's letter to the parish that was sent out earlier this week, which is attached here.

This service will also be available online as a live-stream and the bulletin is attached here. To find our live-stream services, please visit our website and visit the Events tab and click on the “St. Paul’s Sunday Service” event to find links to our YouTube Channel; or CLICK THIS LINK.

As always, please read on for more announcements.

Sincerely,

Asher Hébert
Office Administrator
St. Paul's Anglican Church - Edmonton
