Sunday - March 22, 2020.
Dear Church Family,
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord!
As mentioned in our recent letter to you, we will be unable to conduct our usual Worship Service at the Church tomorrow, March 22 and on March 29, or until the ban on organized gatherings of 50+people to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus (CoViD-19) is lifted.
However, as an alternative, we will instead hold Worship Services in our own homes or in groups (connected by Messenger or other means) tomorrow starting at 10:30am. We will be following the same time/program as when we do it in church.
The Gathering
On Sunday morning, we will gather individually or as a family in our houses. Via
Zoom,
Facebook Messenger or
Google Hangouts we will connect with our Cell Groups or DT Groups.
Your Cell Group/DT Leaders would have contacted you about instructions on how to connect online.
To those who do not yet belong to a particular group, please contact kuya Joel Esguerra (416-277-3349).
What to Prepare (for each home)
We advise each family or group to prepare their own communion implements (bread and juice)
For Tithes and Offerings. On a sheet of paper, assign someone in the home/family or if you are alone, to list down the name, amount and date. We will get in touch with your family/group leader on how to collect it.
We are working on setting up an online giving platform in the coming weeks.
Our Sunday Program

Make sure that everyone in the group has had ample time to share.

Please prepare your Tithes and Offerings. On a sheet of paper, assign someone in the home/family or yourself (if you are on your own), to list down the name, amount and date.
We will get in touch with your family/group leader on how to collect it.
Closing Prayer | 12:25 - 12:30pm
Close the service in prayer. Pray for one another's needs and declare blessing upon each family!
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Ps 46:1)
God bless and keep everyone!
