Announcing Alternate Worship Services in Lowville

On behalf of the parishioners of St. George’s Lowville, I would like to thank our Diocesan family for their support, for their prayers and for their presence with us as we gathered to worship with Bishop Michael Bird last Sunday.

The faithful members of the St. George’s, about 40 people, felt really supported by their Diocesan family. 

Today we had a slight set back in court.  The judge ruled that for the next two weeks the building of St. George’s will be solely occupied by the Network Church in Lowville.
As a consequence those parishioners who wish to remain loyal to their heritage as Anglicans find themselves homeless.

Plans have been made to worship at the “Old School House” in Lowville Park.  It is important that St. George’s continue to do what they have done for 151 years, even if it isn’t in their own building.  Anglicans will gather in Lowville and will worship.

The parishioners need your support.  We need your prayers and we invite you to join us for worship on Sunday, March 2nd and March 9th.

Please continue to pray for us as we try to come to terms with the courts interim ruling.
