A note from Council

In keeping with the announcement by the provincial government, declaring a public emergency, the council of Rocky First CRC has cancelled church services and all related ministries for the duration of the emergency. As council we will follow the lead of our government concerning public gatherings.

This present situation raises many challenges to us as a community of believers and is disrupting our lives in ways that previously would have been unimaginable. The reality however is that we are in a time where we as a body must be obedient to the authorities appointed over us.

We must also be a body that can and will respond to the needs within and without our community. Council members will be getting in touch with each and every one of our membership to inform them of options available for worship, to inquire if there is an interest to be involved in community service and to encourage connecting with each other through social media, texting, telephone calls to maintain community. These are extraordinary times and we as a body of believers need to be intentional in our support of one another. Please do not hesitate to contact your elder, deacon or Pastor Ken with any challenges, concerns and encouragements in the days ahead.

Psalm 46 paints for us a picture of turbulence and trouble, and this present situation is a reflection of this picture. The psalm however concludes with the statement that “The Lord Almighty is with us; The God of Jacob is our fortress.” It is this assurance that we can and will live out these coming days.
