Dear Friends in Christ,
I warmly invite you and your loved ones to join us for our hybrid worship service on the fourth Sunday of Lent, March 15, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Andrew’s, Fenelon Falls. This Sunday, we continue exploring the Road to Recovery series, based on two primary sermon resources: Alcoholics Anonymous’ Twelve-Step program and Jesus’s Eight Beatitudes. We will focus on the third principle, called the Commitment Choice.
We look forward to worshiping with you—whether in person or online!
Blessings,
Caleb
