Dear Friends,
This Sunday, we will have a guest speaker, Pastor Martin Chipp-Smith, who will share the Word of God titled “Wrestling for Change,” along with an update on the Kawartha Lakes Youth Unlimited ministry. We will also continue the Advent program called “Family Time – Jesse Tree” by Dan and Donna Schley.
With this note, I extend a warm Advent invitation to you and your loved ones to join our hybrid service at St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls, on Sunday, December 10, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. This divine gathering will be accessible for both in person and online live-streaming.
The Zoom link below will be active from 9:45 a.m. Announcement slides will be shared before the service with both the congregation in the sanctuary and those joining us on Zoom.
In addition to the service information, I would like to share my thoughts on the previous community and church events.
I want to express our congregation’s gratitude to Barbara Dunn-Prosser and her friend Lynne Davis for presenting the lovely Christmas music on behalf of our church at the Community Carol Singing event. Barbara’s special music, along with that of other churches, certainly provided the entire audience with divine peace and comfort in this season of Advent. Her beautiful presentation on video will be shared during our services on Christmas Eve Sunday.
A Christmas potluck was joyfully held in the church basement this past Wednesday, hosted by St. Andrew’s Women of the Church. Many Christmas stories and thoughts, along with expressions of appreciation to the Lord, were shared in person as well as via Zoom during this wonderful fellowship. Everybody attending the gathering had a meaningful time and was nourished both spiritually and physically. The box of personal care items for the Salvation Army was filled with participants’ generosity, in addition to collected donations from the ladies’ gatherings. The Army was very pleased with these loving contributions when Lizz Hoyle delivered them on Thursday. Additionally, a few photos from the Christmas potluck event will be shown during this Sunday’s announcement slides.
Upcoming Church Events:
Dec. 24: Christmas Eve Morning Worship 10:00 a.m.
Dec. 24: Christmas Eve Candlelight & Communion Service 7:00 p.m.
Blessings,
Caleb
