Service Information and Church News for December 31, 2023

Dear Friends,

Tomorrow marks the final day and Sunday of 2023. It might seem as if 2023 began just a few days ago. As we reflect upon these past seasons, how do we respond? At times we feel proud of ourselves; at other times, we may feel unsatisfied. When God created the heavens and the earth, He declared each act of creation as good! After completing each day’s work , the Creator God assessed His labour as excellent. Through God’s eyes, He encourages us to reflect upon our contributions to our loved ones, our church, and our community, prompting us to be grateful to Him for His continual presence, protection and provision for us as His church.

On that note, I warmly invite you and your loved ones to join our hybrid worship service at St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls, on Sunday, December 31, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. This Sunday, our focus will be on the “Triple Standing Command” as outlined in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Following our service, we will gather for a coffee fellowship. This moment will serve as a cherished opportunity for us to reflect on God’s guidance and blessings upon us as His people.

This divine gathering will be accessible for both in person and online live-streaming. The Zoom link below will be active from 9:45 a.m. Announcement slides will be shared before the service with both the congregation in the sanctuary and those joining us on Zoom.
