Staying connected:

As a community that values connection and inclusion COVID-19 presents very specific challenges. We recognize that social isolation is very real, and being together is vital to the human spirit and psyche.

While, the Government has requested we undertake social distancing, they are actually referring to maintaining physical distance. At this time, more than ever, we need to find ways to increase our social connection while maintaining physical distance.

We will therefore increase our ability to use technology to communicate and stay connected. We will increase our communication via the use of email, the ELC website and the ELC Facebook page. Please like the Facebook page if you haven’t already.

Friends of ELC

We all hope this situation will resolve quickly and ELC will be able to resume holding events. However, in the event this isn’t the case we will contact people with ‘Friends of ELC’ memberships.

ELC Office:

The office will be closed to walk-ins and volunteers until further notice. However, Toreigh will continue to work Tuesday, Thursday & Friday. If you wish to contact the office we ask that you do so via email or phone.

Separating ourselves at this time is hard. It goes against most of what we say and do. We are about social inclusion, not dislocation and isolation. But it is incredibly important that we see these short-term disruptions as an act of love toward one another, especially as an act of love to the most frail and vulnerable amongst us and society.

Showing kindness, checking in with one another and praying are all things we need to do right now.

Thank you for your understanding.
