Community Notes/Announcements

 

In light of advice from Ontario’s Medical Officer of Health, we are encouraging everyone to please mask while indoors at Knox. During Coffee Hour after the service, you’re invited to take your refreshments to one of the tables and then remove your mask while seated. We are striving to create an environment where we can enjoy food and fellowship with one another while still honouring the latest medical advice.

Congregational Breakfast  will be held on Saturday, April 1st at 8am.  The guest speaker this month will be Crystal Bergstrome, the CEO and Chief Librarian at the Bracebridge Library.

Rev. Heather is offering a Lent study, in March on Wednesday’s at 1 PM. This will be provided in person and through the Zoom format. The topic will correspond with our Lenten sermon theme, “Listen: hearing that still small voice and finding our own.”
