Dear Friends,

I would like to begin by expressing my gratitude to all of God’s servants who shared inspirational sermons based on the Holy Word during my holiday. Thanks to the hybrid option, I was fortunate enough to participate in all the divine gatherings via Zoom and experience the same amazing grace of God as you did in the worship services. As an online worshipper, on behalf of the church, I want to take this opportunity to convey our appreciation to Dan and Donna Schley for managing the Zoom services for the past five Sundays and this Sunday, in addition to fulfilling other responsibilities for the church. I also want to echo our thanks to Jane Veale for continuously providing recorded hymns for our hybrid services. Furthermore, my wife and I extend our thankfulness to all of you for your prayers and good wishes for our travels to our homeland, Korea. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with our loved ones, particularly, my mother! We were not only well-fed physically but also spiritually nourished during our stay there.

With these expressions of gratitude, I warmly invite you and your loved ones to our hybrid worship service at St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls and via Zoom. As previously mentioned, this Sunday, we will unite with churches across Canada to advocate for and commemorate Healing and Reconciliation, which Dan Schley and I will lead during the service.

Our sacred assembly will commence at 10:00 a.m., both in-person and online live-streaming, and conclude around 11:00 a.m. The Zoom link provided below will be active 15 minutes prior to the service. Announcement slides will be shared before the service with both the congregation in the sanctuary and those joining us on Zoom.

Please find attached the order of service and the sermon, along with the Study Guide for the Confession, for May 26th. Please note that the message I will deliver was prepared by

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).

Dear Friends,

Let’s begin by exploring the definition of Holy Communion as outlined in the Westminster Larger Catechism:

Question 168: What is the Lord’s Supper?
Answer: The Lord’s Supper is a sacrament of the New Testament, wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine according to the appointment of Jesus Christ, his death is showed forth; and they that worthily communicate feed upon his body and blood, to their spiritual nourishment and growth in grace; have their union and communion with him confirmed; testify and renew their thankfulness, and engagement to God, and their mutual love and fellowship each with other, as members of the same mystical body.

As announced before, this Sunday, we will observe Holy Communion/The Lord’s Supper taking place at 10:00 a.m. in the church sanctuary or via Zoom. A pre-packed sacred element will be blessed by the church elders prior to the service during the session meeting and will be distributed to participants in an in-person gathering. For those anticipating participating in this communion service virtually, please prepare your own elements: grape juice/wine and bread. Please keep in mind that Holy Communion is a sacred remembrance of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us on the cross.

You and your loved ones, including children, are all invited to the Lord’s Table!

During our worship, we will also explore Christ’s Agape Love reflecting the three C letters, Covenant, Commitment, and Communion, and apply this heavenly love to our faith journey.

Our sacred assembly will commence at 10:00 a.m., both in-person and online live-streaming, and conclude around 11:00 a.m. The Zoom link provided below will be active 15 minutes prior to the service. Announcement slides will be shared before the service with both the congregation in the sanctuary and those joining us on Zoom.

Upcoming Events and Services:
June 2-6: General Assembly at Laurier University in Waterloo.

“A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:34-35).

Caleb
