Important Announcement

The following information was received from our District Superintendent Rev. Rose Brower-Young on March 16.2020. We completely respect and support the hard decision our leadership had to make in this time of great need.

To our church pastors, leaders, families, and friends:
The word ‘unprecedented’ has been used to describe the daily evolving global uncertainty we are facing regarding the novel coronavirus COVID-19 and its impact on our people.
As those whose purpose is to live a life that reflects Christ-like love, I believe we have been given an incredible opportunity to offer hope and to provide ministry to communities that are desperately looking for peace and comfort.

I (District Superintendent) participated in a meeting today that was attended by all our Canadian District Superintendents and the National Director. The following statement has been unanimously adopted:
We, the leadership of the Churches of the Nazarene in Canada, declare immediate suspension of all “in-person” services and gatherings until further notice.

As churches, we must do our part to slow down the transmission of the coronavirus and protect the vulnerable and compromised who are at most risk of being unable to overcome the virus. Today’s reports show the virus can linger anywhere between 24 hours – 4 days on a surface. We must do all we can to help prevent the spread any further than it already has.

… I (District Superintendent) am certain you will be receiving further emails in the coming days from our office. We will try and respond to follow-up questions and offer you support as you provide pastoral care and leadership in your community.

Please keep in touch with us and with one another. I (District Superintendent) am praying for you and your ministry.

Grateful for you,

Rev. Rose Brower-Young
District Superintendent,
Canada West District Church of the Nazarene

We are very fortunate at Main Avenue Fellowship. Our services are not only in-person times of fellowship and worship but we also are able to live stream the message. This Sunday and those Sundays to follow, we will, as usual, broadcast live and online for our friends, neighbours and family while still being able to maintain social distancing. We will not, however, be having in-house services or Bible studies until further notice.

We invite you to join us online Sunday @ 10:30 MST on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/MainAvenueFellowship/ ) or view it afterwards on our website (www.mainavefellowship.blogspot.ca).

Hope to see you Sunday online.

Blessings
Pastor Todd
