Dear Friends in Christ,
What a wonderful baptism! God blessed our congregation as we witnessed Hayveland’s baptism and participated in this holy sacrament alongside the Clayton, Hicks, and Nocholson families last Sunday.
As a quick reminder, we are hosting a special concert this Friday, September 25, at 7:30 p.m. featuring Canadian Christian musician and storyteller Glen Soderholm. Please join us if you are available–we would be happy to reserve tickets for you upon request!
I also warmly invite you to join us for our hybrid service this Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., both in person at St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls and online.
This Sunday, we will launch a new sermon series titled The Miracle of Mercy–alongside our Fall Bible study starting next Wednesday–as we explore God’s grace and love over the coming weeks. We will also introduce a new video series called the Character of God to reflect on His mercy during worship. In this first service, we will consider the message, “We All Need God’s Mercy: Remember Me,” and explore God’s compassion through the video lesson.
We look forward to worshiping with you!
Blessings,
Caleb
