It’s 2025 and Knox is 150 years old! We will be celebrating in a variety of ways throughout the year, thanks to the planning of our Knox150 Committee. One project we are working on is a memory book that will be filled with your stories and memories about Knox. Whether you’ve been attending for decades or are a newcomer, we’d love to hear your stories about what life at Knox means for you. You can email Heather your stories which will be shared throughout the year and will also be included in a special booklet to be available later in the year.
The Knox150 committee is also working on many other celebrations; one of which includes a new cross banner for our worship space. It is now on display in the sanctuary with another one to be erected outside on the front of the church when the weather cooperates. Thanks so much to John Malnick and the Knox150 team for making this possible.
Bracebridge’s Out of the Cold program offers hot meals, produce, and toiletries on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This ministry is based out of Bracebridge United Church but is run by volunteers from several churches and community groups. Volunteers assist in the kitchen with meal preparation or help with set up/serving/clean up. Please see Rev. Heather if you’d like to help out.
The BUC-Knox Refugee Partnership is pleased to announce that the fundraising goal to sponsor the Janbali Family has been met! Thank you to everyone for your generosity and prayers. We continue to await an arrival date for the family, which could still be several months away.
Help choose the songs we sing at Knox! You’re invited to write down your hymn requests in the purple binder at the back of the sanctuary and our Worship Planning Committee will endeavour to include your suggestions in our coming worship services.
