Second Anniversary Service and Church News for September 8, 2024

Dear Friends,

This is a friendly reminder about our church’s 2nd-anniversary service, celebrating the amalgamation of Knox Glenarm and St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls.

This Sunday, St. Andrew’s will mark two years of unity as a merged congregation with an inclusive faith mindset for our community. This service will include a ministerial reflection based on the Word of God, as well as a time of praise and prayer. We will also showcase video presentations highlighting each former church’s 150th anniversary celebrations in 2013 and 2015, respectively, along with special music (2004-2021) led by Jane Veale. Following the service, lunch with tea, coffee, and cake will be served in the church basement.

You, your family, and your friends are warmly invited to join us for this sacred assembly. We believe this sacred gathering will help us recall our heritage of the Holy Spirit, remember God’s faithful provision over the years, rededicate ourselves to Christ’s Church, and reminisce about our fellowship with one another on this special Sunday. Your prayers and participation will make the event even more meaningful and memorable. On behalf of the St. Andrew’s Session, we look forward to seeing many of you soon!

As usual, our hybrid service will begin at 10:00 a.m., both in-person and via live streaming, and will conclude around 11:00 a.m. The Zoom link provided below will be active 15 minutes prior to the service, with announcement slides shown to both the congregation in the sanctuary and those joining us on Zoom.

“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14).

Blessings,

Caleb
