Steve will be back from his time away for the July 30th service, but ALL of those July services will take place at 10:00 a.m. instead of our normal 11:00 start time!  The Rev. Dr. Jeff Loach is a colleague and friend of Rev. Steve, clerk of the Presbytery of Oak Ridges, and teaches at Tyndale University and Seminary on a part-time basis.  Before Haydn came to play for us at Knox, he was playing at Nobleton's Sunday services.  We are blessed to have Rev. Jeff's services as a resource at this time!
