Connecting During Pandemic Times

Having lost our outdoor gathering space to a good cause, St. Matthew’s’ parish family (some of us) is gathering again for worship in the sanctuary on Sunday mornings.

Other ways St. Matthew’s people are connecting are through the video mini-services; through Zoom “coffee times,” and small groups; by phone; sharing prayer requests and announcements by email; and in small outdoor groups. Not many of us use the Facebook page, but that and Facebook Messenger are also options. If you would like to get more connected, contact the rector.

The Larger Church Family

St. Matthew’s is connected to the larger Anglican Church though the Diocese of Rupert’s Land, the Anglican Church of Canada, and the global Anglican Communion.
