Thank you, ladies, for stepping forward to serve!

food banks, has not been being used this year due to COVID! If you wish to make a donation to the

food banks through the church, please include it in your offering with a clear note regarding direction

before the end of the year!

• We are still looking for an Organist / Pianist to lead music on Sundays – Kathleen Boose can do it, but

we’d rather give someone else (such as a young piano student) the opportunity to play and gain some

experience (not to mention earn a little money for their work!).

Sunday, December 12th at 7:00 p.m. The Knox Choir, plus Haydn Evans & Friends, will present a

concert of different Christmas music on Sunday, December 19th, also at 7:00 p.m. Mask-wearing and

social distancing for those in the pews will be enforced at these concerts.

such requests to Rev. Steve and he will slot it into the upcoming worship services!

o Students trying to cope with a non-traditional learning environment as we approach the

Christmas break

o Shelters and social workers who are overloaded with clients trying to stay warm… and alive.

congregation!
