Dear Friends in Christ,
I want to begin with a joyful announcement regarding the Sacrament of Baptism for Hayveland Clayton. We will celebrate her baptism–the daughter of Tessla Hicks and Mark Clayton–during our regular worship service on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Hayveland is also the granddaughter of Lori Nicholson and the great-granddaughter of Faye Nicholson. Your prayers for the Clayton, Hicks, and Nicholson families and your presence at this sacred service will be deeply appreciated.
With this joyful news in mind, I warmly invite you to join us for our hybrid worship service at St. Andrew’s, Fenelon Falls, on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.
This Sunday, as we look forward to our upcoming fourth church anniversary, we will begin the Genuine Discipleship sermon series with our first message, “Have Faith in God.” Together, we will explore the vital connection between mountain-moving faith and active, persistent prayer.
We look forward to worshiping with you—whether in person or online!
Blessings,
Caleb
