Stage 3 Reopening

We are excited to announce that in-person services will resume at Commons in step with Alberta’s stage 3 reopening plan. The first Sunday with in-person services will be July 4, 2021.

Attendance will be capped to ensure we are able to maintain social distance comfort levels for all participants and therefore attendance will be by registration at least for the summer. Registrations will open on the Monday of each week and we are prepared to add services to ensure there is space for all who are ready to return in person. In this first stage, services will resume at our Kensington Parish and we will have more information about Inglewood in the coming weeks.

Children’s programs will be returning along with in-person services and children can be registered at the same time as families. 

For now, City of Calgary mask bylaws remain in effect and will be mandatory inside the building for anyone over the age of 2. Appropriate spacing and barriers will be in place for those singing or speaking from the stage.

The livestream will continue. We have made investments to ensure that we can continue live-streaming our services even as we return to a more normal schedule. The service will be available live at 1030AM with a replay at 7PM. Of course, you can always access the services on demand anytime after they are broadcast on our YouTube channel or listen to the sermon through our Podcast feed.

While we are excited to return to in-person gatherings our focus is on ensuring a safe and comforting environment. Therefore as much as we love the excitement of Stampede our annual Pancake Breakfast will be set aside for another year. Our priority is to create a safe return to the patterns we have all given up over this past year and we look forward to the time when all of our full community celebrations can return safely.

We are so grateful that each of you have continued to participate with Commons during this season. We have been surprised again and again by all the ways you have engaged and support this community. We are excited to see you soon!
