There are speakers in the Narthex for those who may need to walk with a restless child.
How can we make room for our guests? As the holiday season approaches, our worship attendance is on the rise! One way for a member to make a guest feel more welcome is to free-up a parking space in the main (north) parking lot. If you are able, will you consider parking in the south lot (next to the park) or on the street on Canada Ave? It may be a little bit longer of a walk to worship for you but it sure can make a big difference to a guest that is visiting for the first time.
