Please note the following if you are planning to join us on Sunday.
- There is no church school at this time
- Our Sunday services do not require registration.
- Vaccination is not required but encouraged. Our staff and Sunday volunteers are fully vaccinated.
- Try to arrive between 9:40 and 9:55. The entry doors are locked at 10 am.
- Please enter by the East door from the parking lot. When you come in, you will be met by the person responsible that day for COVID screening, ensuring use of the hand sanitizer and marking the sign-in sheet to allow for contact tracing. Greeters will point out where to pick up a bulletin and leave your offering.
- The congregation sits physically distanced, wears masks while indoors and remains seated throughout the service. We ask that you take your coats into the Sanctuary.
- Sanctuary windows and doors will be left open to allow for better air circulation.
- Hymns are sung by soloists or small groups with appropriate distancing. However, in keeping with Ottawa Public Health recommendations, there is no congregation singing. Hymn books and bibles are available in the pews.
- We have developed a COVID-safe approach to Communion.
- There is no fellowship time indoors and we ask you not to visit in the narthex, but you can socialize outdoors right after service.
- Sunday services are recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel, usually within a few hours of the service.
Our reopening committee reviews current public health recommendations and will modify protocols as necessary until we can return to normal services.
Woodroffe United Church ... we are not alone, we live in God's world.
