Parking

We now have some parking available behind our church. Access to the parking area is only available via Valleyview Rd. At the time of writing this announcement, the parking area has not been paved yet, but it is useable. Please use the East Entrance door (“Enter” sign on the door). This entrance will bring you past the minister’s study, the washrooms and then into the Fellowship Hall where the elevator is located, making the sanctuary level easy to access.​  For people using the church during the week, there is now a walkway from the back parking lot leading to the driveway and East Side entrance.

Ushers

Ushers, please remember to signup on the form on the bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall. Also, if you are interested in ushering, please speak to Lisa Mansfield. We can always use more ushers to ease the workload for everyone.
