I also promised that on April 1st we would send out an update to that announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly I am writing today to announce that we are now extending that suspension for another three weeks, which includes Easter Sunday and the remaining two Sundays of April\u2014the 19th and the 26th. This means the suspension now continues through to the end of April. (Before the end of April I will send another update.)<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow, April 2, 2020, Lord willing, I hope to send out a Pastoral Letter addressing our life together, particularly considering the challenges and sacrifices that we are dealing with in our isolation as we seek to worship our Crucified and Risen Saviour through Holy Week and Easter.<\/p>\n<p>Please continue to connect with one another by all the means possible\u2014by phone and online\u2014and let us lift up our eyes in prayer to the God who raises the dead, praying for one another and the world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.<br \/>\nHe delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.&#8221;<br \/>\n2 Corinthians 1:9-10<\/p>\n<p>Yours in Him,<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-434 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2020-03-17_210152.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"197\" height=\"46\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Right Reverend Charlie Masters<\/p>\n<p>Diocesan Bishop of the Anglican Network in Canada<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Update on Our COVID-19 Measures An update from Bishop Charlie and the House of Bishops \u2014 April 1, 2020 A few weeks ago I announced a decision that all public worship and all gatherings from all ANiC congregations were to be suspended for the following three weeks, including this coming Palm Sunday, April 5, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/portfolio\/a-statement-from-bishop-charlie-masters\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">An Update on our COVID-19 Measures<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":435,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"jetpack-portfolio-type":[],"jetpack-portfolio-tag":[],"class_list":["post-433","jetpack-portfolio","type-jetpack-portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jetpack-portfolio\/433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jetpack-portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/jetpack-portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jetpack-portfolio\/433\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":488,"href":"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jetpack-portfolio\/433\/revisions\/488"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"jetpack-portfolio-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jetpack-portfolio-type?post=433"},{"taxonomy":"jetpack-portfolio-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sthildaschurch.ca\/isr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jetpack-portfolio-tag?post=433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
