Dear members, adherents, friends, and family of Knox and St. Giles,

As another week comes to a close, I hope you’ve found moments to pause and appreciate the many blessings God places before us – whether in time spent with loved ones, the beauty of creation, or simple acts of kindness shared with neighbours and friends.

One of the greatest blessings of being part of a church family is knowing there is always a place where you are welcomed, known, and cared for. As our journey of amalgamation continues, it has been encouraging to see members of both Knox and St. Giles getting to know one another, sharing conversations, and building new friendships. These moments remind us that the church is not simply a building we enter on Sunday morning, but a community we nurture throughout the week.

From time to time, you may receive this weekly update from me as your church administrator, while on most weeks Rev. Chandra will continue to share a reflection on scripture and our life together in Christ. We hope that these messages keep you informed and connected with all that is happening in our growing congregation.

If you happen to be in the neighbourhood during the week, please feel free to stop by and say hello. Whether you have a question, would like to learn more about an upcoming event, or simply want to visit for a few minutes, I’d be delighted to see you. I’m in the office Tuesday-Friday until 2PM, and I’m always happy to connect with members and friends of our church family.

As always, we warmly invite you to gather for worship on Sunday at 10AM. Following the service, you’re invited to stay for fellowship, where conversations over coffee continue to strengthen the relationships that make our congregation such a welcoming place.

If you’re looking for more opportunities to engage in your faith during the week, we also invite you to join the Tuesday book study at 1:30PM or 6:30PM; or Wednesday bible study at 10:15AM. Whether you’ve been studying scripture for many years or are just beginning to explore God’s Word, everyone is welcome and every question is valued.

Please take a look at the attached bulletin for this week’s announcements and for more ways to participate. There is always something happening, and we hope you’ll find a place to join in. Thank you for your presence, prayers, generosity, and willingness to serve. May God bless you and your loved ones in the week ahead.

Sincerely,

Kaiden
