The days of summer are winding down, students will be back at school within a few days, and the Labor Day weekend marks the start of a new church year.
One by one, the church organizations are gearing up for the fall season, the Sunday school teachers have prepared their curriculum, plans are under way for Rally Sunday, and as the summer holiday season winds down, there is an air of anticipation within the church, as people who have been away return to the pews, hungry for the Good News.
During the last three months, since the passing of our minister, the Rev. Mark Hoogsteen, the congregation has been blessed with the presence with many outstanding preachers, but as we move into September, the direction has been changed as Knox welcomes Rev. John Duff to the pulpit for a five-month period of stated supply.
As previously indicated in this blog, Rev. Duff's ministry has taken him from Red Deer to St. John's and from Ottawa to Nicaragua, and while he has been officially retired since 2002, he will put his retirement somewhat aside and lead us in worship and provide pastoral care through the fall months, the Christmas season and into the New Year.
