Fort Massey United Church

Creating Community at the corner of
Queen and Tobin Streets,
Halifax, Nova Scotia since 1871

This Sunday, Jan 17, we will gather in-person at 10:30 a.m. with limited seating (approx. 50).
We will also record the Service and have it up online by sometime Sunday afternoon.

Sunday Church School and Nursery will be available.

COVID protocols will be observed. Please wear your mask when in the building; use the hand sanitzer in the lobby; and allow an usher to seat you in your bubble after you have been checked off on our list. After Service, please remain seated until an usher signals you to exit, using hand sanitzer again before leaving. Singing is limited to our soloist, however, congregational humming or singing softly are welcome. A limited number of bulletins (with hymns) are available in the nave of the sanctuary where the Guest Book would normally be; or you can find our bulletin on our website or Facebook page, bringing a printed copy with you. The powerpoint on our screen will include the Order of Service as well as the hymn lyrics. You may place your offering in the plates located at the front and back of the nave either before or after the Service.

Looking forward to seeing you in person.

As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves and we continue to monitor government and public health requirements and guidance, it remains our priority to ensure the safety and well-being of all members of our community of faith at Fort Massey United Church. With our focus firmly on that priority, our current intention with respect to the physical re-opening of our church and related facilities is set out below:

* Groups and organizations who use the hall need to make contact with our office administrator on Thursdays for further instructions on Fort Massey's COVID-19 protocols before entering the building.

* Weekday church sponsored activities, meetings and groups meet either in person (with Facemasks & Social distancing) or via Zoom.

* Pastoral care is limited to phone calls, emails, Zoom. In person office appointments or home visits are available for emergencies only, with Facemasks and physical distancing required.

Financial Stewardship:
