Dear Friends,
We are delighted to invite you to our upcoming hybrid Sunday worship service on November 2, 2025, at 10:00 am, at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Fenelon Falls, and via Zoom.
This Sunday, we are blessed to have our guest speaker, Rev. John Borthwick, share the Word of God with us.
The Rev. John Borthwick is the Director of the Centre for Lifelong Learning at Knox College, Toronto and Curator of www.ministryforum.ca, the virtual presence of the Centre. In this role, recently made permanent along with the Centre, John seeks to enhance the College’s commitment to be responsive to the needs of the Church today. The Centre’s Team supports and encourages ministry leaders and remind them that they are not alone as they serve. Prior to taking on this role, John was the minister of St. Andrew’s in Guelph for almost 21 years and served Rexdale Presbyterian Church, Toronto for five years prior. John is married with two adult children. His favourite week of the year is Discovery’s Shark Week.
We look forward to worshipping with you–whether in person or via Zoom!
Blessings,
St. Andrew’s Session
