We will also introduce a new video series called the Character of God to reflect on His mercy during worship. In this first service, we will consider the message, “We All Need God’s Mercy: Remember Me,” and explore God’s compassion through the video lesson.

We look forward to worshiping with you!

Blessings,

Caleb

Dear Friends in Christ,

What a wonderful celebration and ordination service God blessed us with during our 4th Church Anniversary last Sunday! On behalf of the Session at St. Andrew’s, we express our sincere gratitude to the Lord for His abundant blessings upon our congregation as we move forward together in unity, love, and hope. We also extend our deep appreciation to everyone who prayed for that special service and joined us in worship, whether in person or online. The mini-salad lunch prepared by our church ladies and the warm fellowship were a true joy! Let us continue striving to become a more loving and caring congregation grounded in God’s truth.

Looking ahead to this coming Sunday, we are joyfully celebrating the sacrament of infant baptism for Hayveland Clayton, Daughter of Mark Clayton and Tessla Hicks.

In the Reformed tradition, we recognize two sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion. As Living Faith (our Presbyterian Statement of Belief) reminds us: “Baptism is a sacrament meant for those who profess their faith and for their children… [and] is also an act of discipleship that requires commitment and looks toward growth in Christ (Living Faith 7.6.3-4).

Parents who bring their child for baptism make a solemn commitment to provide a Christian home and upbringing. Likewise, our church family at St. Andrew’s commits to walking alongside them–offering regular prayer, encouragement, and support as they fulfill their vows to God.

With these reflections in mind, I warmly invite you to join us for our Baptism Service this Sunday, September 20, 2026,  at 10:00 a.m., both in person at St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls and online. Your presence and prayers mean so much as we continue growing together as a more loving faith community.

We look forward to worshiping with you!

Blessings,

Caleb

Dear Friends in Christ,

While biking along the trail on Thursday, a question came to mind: “Do I need to change my sermon title for our fourth church anniversary?”

It occurred to me that “How to Become a Loving Church” might be better phrased as “How to Become a More Loving Church.” The reason for this small tweak is simple yet meaningful: God has already blessed our amalgamated body–formed through the union of Glenarm and Fenelon Falls–as a truly loving church. Over the past four years, God has guided us, as an inclusive, Christ-minded congregation, to live out our shared mission: “To communicate faith, hope and love by supporting and serving our congregation and the local community and communicating our excitement in praising and worshiping God with our friends and neighbours.”

We see God’s blessing every week through our active caring ministries–our Prayer Shawls, Prayer Cards, Prayer Chain, and Pastoral Care. Our knitters are busy preparing warm prayer shawls, prayer requests are faithfully shared via email, more than a dozen encouragement cards were sent out this past month alone, and hospital and home visits remain ongoing.

In addition to these ministries, our congregation collects food for the local food bank. Just this past month, we contributed 132 pounds of items–our largest collection on record!

The vital point here is not simply the numbers or frequency, but our ongoing, dedicated heart for God, His church, and His people.

Like many of you, I believe God is deeply pleased with our consistent spirit of love and care since our united ministry began in August 2022. We are profoundly grateful to the Lord for His ongoing provision, protection, and presence over these past four years and throughout our history. While the world might view us as a small church, in God’s eyes, we are a vibrant, faithful assembly!

On a personal note, Soon Hwa and I want to express our sincere gratitude to the church ladies for organizing the lovely baby shower for our daughter-in-law, Allison, and our son, Caleb Jr., and for providing such beautiful gifts and thoughtful cards. This is yet another wonderful example of our congregation’s love–not only for one another, but also for your pastor. Serving a church with such a generous, caring heart is a profound blessing, and my wife and I are so grateful to serve alongside you!

With these reflections in mind, I warmly invite you and your loved ones to join us for our 4th Anniversary Service at St. Andrew’s, Fenelon Falls, on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

Together, we will mark four years as an amalgamated church–and honour over 300 years of combined, rich history between our two heritage congregations. During this service, we will also have the joy of ordaining two new elders, Sherry Henderson and Lizz Hoyle. Following the service, everyone is invited to stay for a mini Glenarm salad lunch!

Your presence—whether in person or online–and your prayers as we strive to become an even more loving congregation mean so much.

Blessings,

Caleb

“The mission of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Fenelon Falls is to communicate faith, hope and love by supporting and serving our congregation and the local community and communicating our excitement in praising and worshiping God with our friends and neighbours.”

Dear Friends in Christ,

As we approach our fourth church anniversary, it is deeply fitting for us to gather around the pulpit and reflect on the sacrificial life of Jesus – the spiritual kernel of wheat and founder of our faith community. Alongside our Lord, it is also appropriate for us to honor the many dedicated servants of God who have blessed our congregation over the years by living as faithful kernels of wheat. Their witness and legacy will be highlighted during this Sunday’s sermon, titled “Kernel of Wheat.”

Furthermore, as the amalgamated congregation of Glenarm and Fenelon Falls, this is a meaningful time to remember our sacred connection to Glenarm Cemetery. Between 1855 and 1857, one acre of land was purchased for twenty dollars to build the original Knox Church, known back then as the ‘Long’ or ‘White’ Church on those grounds. Those laid to rest there may not be famous in the eyes of the world, but we know who they were, and we remember how generously they gave of their lives –like seeds planted in faith. During this Sunday’s worship, we will share a special video from our recent Decoration Service at Glenarm Cemetery honoring their memory.

With this joyful reflection in mind, I warmly invite you to join us for our hybrid worship service at St. Andrew’s, Fenelon Falls, on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

We look forward to worshiping with you—whether in person or online!

Blessings,

Caleb

Dear Friends in Christ,

Before sharing this Sunday’s service details, I want to briefly introduce an unofficial sermon series titled “Genuine Discipleship” over the next three Sundays, prepared in anticipation of our upcoming anniversary celebration.

Next Sunday, we will explore the relationship between prayer and mountain-moving faith. The following Sunday, we will reflect on the sacrificial life of Jesus using the symbol of a kernel of wheat, alongside a special video featuring highlights from the 2026 Decoration Service at Glenarm Cemetery. On Anniversary Sunday, we will examine sacred principles for becoming a more loving and inclusive church, ordain new elders, and share in a joyful fellowship lunch. Please keep these upcoming messages in your prayers, as always, so that we may continue building our church on Christ’s love and God’s truth through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

With this in mind, I warmly invite you to join us for our hybrid worship service at St. Andrew’s, Fenelon Falls, on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

Dear Friends in Christ,

What a joyful fellowship we shared following the worship service last Sunday! Once again, thank you to everyone who helped prepare for and participated in our Summer Lunch Fellowship. Whether you made sandwiches, brought desserts or vegetables, prepared tea and coffee, set tables, or simply joined us for the meal, your contributions were deeply appreciated. Thank you for making it such a wonderful time together!

Looking ahead, please mark an important date on your calendars so you can join us in prayer and participation for a special gathering. As an amalgamated congregation of the former Knox Glenarm and St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls, we will celebrate our fourth anniversary on Sunday, September 13, 2026. During the service, we will not only praise God for His faithfulness over the past year, but we will also present two newly elected elders for ordination. A time of lunch and fellowship will follow the service. More details will be shared in the coming weeks, and your prayers and presence are greatly appreciated.

With that in mind, I warmly invite you to join us for our hybrid service at St. Andrew’s, Fenelon Falls, on Sunday, August 2, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

During this service, we will explore Part 5 of our Transformed Sermon Series: How to Deal with How You Feel (Emotional Health).

We look forward to worshiping with you—whether in person or online!

Blessings,  Caleb
