Dear Friends in Christ,
One item on our church’s Thanksgiving gratitude list is the music library created for our hybrid worship services. As Dan shared during this past Sunday’s announcement, we are so grateful to Jane Veale and the Kim Brothers for their ongoing contributions. In particular, Jane has recorded an incredible library of 222 hymns for our services since the COVID-19 pandemic–along with 49 recorded by the Kim Brothers–expanding on her faithful ministry as our music director (2004–2021). Her catalog spans dozens of selections across every season of the church calendar.
Using pre-recorded music has proven wonderfully effective for our worshippers, whether joining us in the sanctuary or via Zoom. Once again, Jane, thank you so much for your heart toward God and His church!
With this reflection in mind, I warmly invite you and your loved ones to join us for our hybrid service this Sunday, October 18, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., both in person at St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls and online. We will continue our fall sermon series, The Miracle of Mercy, with Part 3: “How Much We Matter to God.”
We look forward to worshiping with you!
Blessings,
Caleb
