Dear Friends,
I would like to begin by expressing our gratitude to Dan Schley, our sole volunteer, who greeted visitors and shared our church’s divine heritage with them last Sunday during the 2024 Doors Open event. As mentioned before, St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls has been one of the thirteen distinctive historic places participating in this event in Kawartha Lakes. We pray that God will continue to bless and preserve these unique spaces in all their glory in the days to come. We also pray that God will continue to use our sacred building to serve all those who “seek to love God and participate in an open and supportive congregation grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ.”
In addition to this appreciation, I would be grateful if you could kindly pray for me as I embark on a time of sabbatical with my wife, Soon Hwa, guided by the Scripture in Psalm 23:1-3. The purpose of my sabbatical is to recharge my body by taking a break from regular ministerial duties, renew my spirit through more personal devotions, including Bible reading and prayer, and restore my mind by spending time in nature.
With this in mind, I invite you and your loved ones to join our hybrid worship service at St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls, either in person or via Zoom, on Sunday, September 22, 2024. During the service, we will explore important questions-where, why, how, and who should praise God-based on Psalm 150, and we will also sing more hymns.
Our sacred gathering will begin at 10:00 a.m., both in-person and via live-streaming, and will conclude around 11:00 a.m. The Zoom link will be active 15 minutes before the service, and announcement slides will be displayed for both the congregation in the sanctuary and those joining online.
