Church News and Service Information for August 2nd, 2026

Dear Friends in Christ,

What a joyful fellowship we shared following the worship service last Sunday! Once again, thank you to everyone who helped prepare for and participated in our Summer Lunch Fellowship. Whether you made sandwiches, brought desserts or vegetables, prepared tea and coffee, set tables, or simply joined us for the meal, your contributions were deeply appreciated. Thank you for making it such a wonderful time together!

Looking ahead, please mark an important date on your calendars so you can join us in prayer and participation for a special gathering. As an amalgamated congregation of the former Knox Glenarm and St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls, we will celebrate our fourth anniversary on Sunday, September 13, 2026. During the service, we will not only praise God for His faithfulness over the past year, but we will also present two newly elected elders for ordination. A time of lunch and fellowship will follow the service. More details will be shared in the coming weeks, and your prayers and presence are greatly appreciated.

With that in mind, I warmly invite you to join us for our hybrid service at St. Andrew’s, Fenelon Falls, on Sunday, August 2, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

During this service, we will explore Part 5 of our Transformed Sermon Series: How to Deal with How You Feel (Emotional Health).

We look forward to worshiping with you—whether in person or online!

Blessings,  Caleb
