Dear Friends in Christ,
Before sharing this Sunday’s service details, I want to briefly introduce an unofficial sermon series titled “Genuine Discipleship” over the next three Sundays, prepared in anticipation of our upcoming anniversary celebration.
Next Sunday, we will explore the relationship between prayer and mountain-moving faith. The following Sunday, we will reflect on the sacrificial life of Jesus using the symbol of a kernel of wheat, alongside a special video featuring highlights from the 2026 Decoration Service at Glenarm Cemetery. On Anniversary Sunday, we will examine sacred principles for becoming a more loving and inclusive church, ordain new elders, and share in a joyful fellowship lunch. Please keep these upcoming messages in your prayers, as always, so that we may continue building our church on Christ’s love and God’s truth through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
With this in mind, I warmly invite you to join us for our hybrid worship service at St. Andrew’s, Fenelon Falls, on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.
During this service, we will conclude our Transformed sermon series with Part 8: Vocational Health, titled “Four Biblical Attitudes for a Healthy Work Life.”
We look forward to worshiping with you—whether in person or online!
Blessings,
Caleb
