Worship Resources During COVID-19

A Message From Reverend Edwin Ebsary

While we cannot gather for public worship, our prayer and spiritual life continues and perhaps will even become stronger in different ways. I have included some prayer resources and links to others. If you would like to talk, please call the office line (902-463-6544). If I am not available at that moment please leave a message and I will return your call as soon as possible. As a church family we can stay connected by phone calls, emails, skype or Facebook. For the health and safety of all, we may be in our own homes for a while but Jesus is within those four walls too. When we are able to gather as a community of faith we can celebrate the joy of “seeing the face of God in those we love”. You will be in my prayers in the days to come.

Faithfully yours,
Edwin
