Note: The province is permitting “regular services”. As Ash Wednesday and Lent Midweek services are ‘regular services’ for the Lutheran church, we will be having those. Sunday school, Bible studies, meetings etc are still not allowed according to the provincial orders.
Zion Ash Wednesday: 2pm
Trinity Ash Wednesday: 7:30 pm
A little update: as of this weekend we are permitted to resume in-person services. In order to more easily follow the provincial guidelines, services will be held by invite-only on Sundays for the first while. This is in order to help with contact-tracing and to make sure we are keeping within our permitted numbers. Pastor and/or the elders will be calling around to invite people to church each weekend until our capacity limits increase.
Masks are required.
Just as a little heads-up: As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses in Manitoba, it appears we are on a down-slope, infection-rate wise. As such we are expecting a formal announcement from the province about the regulations for church services and other gatherings. If we are able to have in-person services this Sunday and thereafter, the online posting will return to being later in the day on Sundays, as Pastor will record one of the services (either Trinity or Zion) and do the necessary editing to post it online. If we do have in-person services, more information about how those will work will be posted as soon as we know how they will work, capacity-wise. The elders at Trinity will be contacting people to invite them to service as in May/June if capacity is limited, and this is likely the case for Zion as well.
