As Ontario begins to relax some restriction s , we are all wondering when we might be able to gather in person in smaller groups or even as a larger congregation.

When we see restrictions change so that groups of ten or more can gather, we will share with our small group leaders some guidelines around when and how it may be possible for you to safely gather in person.

We don’t know when larger groups will be able to gather or even under what conditions they’ll be able to gather, but we will continue to monitor and communicate with you about this.

Empowered Baptism is recognized throughout the Church as the beginning of a ‘God thing.’ John’s baptism was a visible demonstration of the start of a new life — clearing out the junk to prepare for what God was about to do.
