Dear Friends,
My wife, Soon Hwa, and I are happy to share some joyful news about our second son, David. Last Thursday (a week ago), David graduated from the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto. Beginning July 1, 2025, he will start his residency in family medicine at North York General Hospital. His graduation photos will be shown during the announcement slides this Sunday.
We are deeply grateful to God for helping David reach this important milestone, and we sincerely thank you for your continued prayers for our family, especially for our children: Caleb Jr. and his wife Allison; David; and Hope.
During the General Assembly held last week, I had a wonderful time of fellowship with Rev. Torrey Griffiths. He previously served as an elder at the former Knox Glenarm before being ordained and called to serve the Kensington and New London Pastoral charge in PEI in January 2017. Some of you may remember that he was married to Angela in 2019, with the ceremony officiated by Rev. Dawne Griffiths, our church’s former Interim Moderator and my former mentor in the presbytery.
Rev. Griffiths asked me to convey his warm greetings to our congregation and shared two photos–one from their wedding and another of his family with his two lovely stepdaughters–which will be displayed during this Sunday’s announcement slides.
With these notes, I warmly invite you to join us for our hybrid service at St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls on Sunday, June 15, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. During the service, we will reflect on the message titled “How to Be Blessed by the Bible” (based on James 1:19-27). We will also take time to honor Father’s Day and Trinity Sunday, and hear a brief report on the 2025 General Assembly.
