Dear Friends in Christ,
I want to remind you that Daylight Saving Time will begin this coming Sunday, so don’t forget to set your clocks forward by one hour if they are analogue–and take a moment to prepare your hearts for the Lord’s Day.
With this reminder, I warmly invite you and your loved ones to join us for our hybrid worship service on the third Sunday of Lent, March 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Andrew’s, Fenelon Falls. Our lay preacher, Dan Schley, along with a video message from Kate Miller, Director of Advancement at Vancouver School of Theology, will be sharing the Word of God with us during the service. We greatly appreciate their spiritual leadership and look forward to their messages.
We look forward to worshiping with you—whether in person or online!
Blessings,
Caleb
