Church News and Service Information for April 12th, 2026

Dear Friends in Christ,

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! May God’s blessings continue to surround you and your loved ones during this joyful Easter season.

Our Good Friday, including the Pancake breakfast, and our Easter Sunday service were observed beautifully. We shared a meaningful time of worship, reflecting on the cross of Jesus and celebrating the crown of the Resurrected Christ throughout the Easter weekend.

On behalf of the congregation, I want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Jim, Arlene, and Stan for preparing the delicious pancakes for the Good Friday breakfast. We are also grateful to the ladies who thoughtfully prepared the food materials for this fellowship. Your efforts helped make our gatherings truly special.

With this note, I warmly invite you and your loved ones to join us for our hybrid service at St. Andrew’s, Fenelon Falls, on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. During the service, we will continue with Beatitude 5 of our Road to Recovery sermon series, titled “Making Changes – The Transformation Choice.”

We look forward to worshipping with you, whether in person or online, at this upcoming divine assembly!

Blessings,

Caleb
