Dear Friends in Christ,

We warmly invite you and your loved ones to join us for our hybrid worship service on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Andrew’s, Fenelon Falls.

This Sunday, we are especially blessed to gather for the Mission Awareness Service, led by St. Andrew’s Women of the Church, with our speaker, Margret Mark. We are grateful for Margaret’s inspiring message and the faithful leadership of our church ladies, whose dedication helps bring God’s mission to life in our church, our community, and throughout the world.

We look forward to worshipping with you, whether in person or online!

Blessings,

St. Andrew’s Session
