Dear Friends,
What a blessing we, as the amalgamated church, received from the First Anniversary service and fellowship! Our guest speaker, Rev. Dr. John-Peter Smith, preached and provided an excellent sermon for all of us present in the sanctuary and via Zoom. As he stated, God has assigned each of His servants unique tasks in this church and this world. Some have planted the seed, watered it, fertilized it, and done more to it. God is the only One making His Church grow through all the contributions we, as co-workers in God’s ministry, offer to the Lord. God wants us to keep this lesson in mind as we rededicate our hearts and minds to continuously share God’s love in word and deed with all the people around us. Our special musician, Barbara Dunn-Prosser, performed and provided incredible sacred music for us to remember all of God’s blessings upon our church and to be invited to the Fountain of the Lord. As for the lunch fellowship following the service, God also blessed the time of resonating with one another. We thank those who prepared the lovely food and made the anniversary meaningful and memorable. On behalf of the Session of St. Andrew’s, we express our gratitude for all your prayers and participation in various ways!
With this note, I want to invite you and your loved ones to our hybrid worship service with guest speaker, David Easson, on Sunday, September 17, 2023, at 10:00 am. “David is a Lay Preacher with a Master of Divinity from Tyndale University and Seminary. He has had two previous careers: one in libraries and a second in teaching. He retired 7 years ago as a VP responsible for Special Education in a Toronto Board school… He has recently served in a supply capacity at St Andrews in Lindsay.” He is looking forward to leading us in worship this Sunday.
On a personal note, many of you have heard of the marriage of our eldest son, Caleb Kim Jr and his fiancée, now his wife, Allison Park. My wife and I, along with our two other boys, David and Hope, were so happy in God’s abundant blessings upon their recent union. We want to express our gratitude for your support in the form of prayers and warm wishes upon our special venue. Young Caleb and Allison were delighted to receive a thoughtful and meaningful gift – a blanket quilt – from the congregation. We are truly grateful for your love and friendship in God!
