In order to do our part to protect the community from the spread of COVID-19, we have moved our worship services online as FACEBOOK LIVE events at our regular time (Sundays 11:00 am). Click Here to access our live stream. If you happen to miss it, the live stream will be stored as a video and you can also access it on our YouTube Channel
It probably should have happened a long time ago, but Keele now has a Twitter account.
The reason why we have finally left the tree and soared off into the Twitterverse is to aid in connecting us while we have to livestream our services as a result of COVID-19. It is our hope that the congregation can interact with the service and send prayer requests, questions, and just encouragement that you are out there and we are still together.
It is time for you to get your own twitter account. Just go to Twitter and sign up for your free account, then follow us @ChurchKeele. If you already have an account, you know what to do!
Have you ever been in an earthquake? I have. A few minor ones here in Toronto. That strange, oscillating, movement of a foundation that is usually solid and dependable, messes with you. It makes your body betray you. It radiates a signal that sends your nervous system into a panic.
Have you ever seen a tornado, up close and personal? I have. I was in a security trailer, at Sheppard and Weston, as I watched a tornado rip a bus shelter out of its concrete anchors (I never did see where it deposited it). I saw it rip the roof off a factory building directly across from me, like it was the perforated cardboard top off a Kleenex box. All this happened as close as 50 metres from my not-so-secure location.
Some things we experience make our legs feel wobbly and our world feel wobblier still. Like, for example, mountains quaking and falling into the heart of the sea and the tsunami that follows. (Psalm 46:2-3).
This is not the stuff we normally experience. This isn’t the kind of thing we have reference points for that help us file our experiences under the “Not to worry, I’ve seen this before!” category.
Well, it wouldn’t surprise me if we all had wobbly legs right now. I know that I, at least, do. It all boils down to not having a category to file all the rapid-fire, shifting, quaking flood of changes and information that both surrounds and isolates us. It is all a bit overwhelming, isn’t it?
As we all know, COVID 19 is a serious matter of public concern. We will be having a board meeting tomorrow and the majority of it will be spent on working out a plan going forward.
As a result of our March 15, Board Meeting, the Board, after much discussion, decided, in the interest of doing our part to limit the spread of the virus and support the greater community, that we suspend all public services for the time being.
Starting March 22, we will be live streaming our Adult Sunday School and our worship service. Links and more information and instructions are to follow later this week as we work out the details.
Don’t forget that Sunday, March 8th) we Spring head one hour.
That means we all lose an hour of sleep, but don’t worry, I promise not to preach too loud and I won’t wake anyone up during the service that Sunday!
Beginning March 8, we will start a new series for our Adult Sunday School entitled “Seeing Christ More Clearly.” We will be sharing some of the material we recently shared on our mission trip to Thailand.
