A notice to our congregation members and faith followers:
As per UCC guidelines and following advice from Sask. Gov. & Health
Depts, we are announcing that
the Kerrobert United Church will be suspending in-person worship and
other gatherings in the church during the pandemic.

Kerrobert, Luseland, and Dodsland Clinics.
In light of the worsening pandemic of Covid-19 Virus, some changes are
necessary in the functioning of the Kerrobert, Luseland, and Dodsland
Clinics.
All 3 Clinics will remain open and operational. However, in an attempt
to slow down the spread, reception will be asking a few questions when
you call for an appointment. This will determine whether we can handle
patient’s problems safely with a phone conversation with the Doctor, or
whether you should be seen in person. This way we can avoid people com-
ing together in the waiting area.
For patients with mild respiratory diseases or flu like symptoms, we ask that
patients just self-isolate for 14 days.
For patients with more serious respiratory issues or flu like symptoms
where they feel like they might need to be seen, please call the Kerrob-
ert Clinic at 306-834-2289 or the Healthcare Facility at 306-834-2646 for
instructions.
