It is a special time in the life of Knox, Burlington, this Sunday as three new elders are being inducted during the morning worship service. I use the term “new” very lightly, however, as all three individuals have served as elders in the past.
Nick Lewis and Carolyn Wilkins have both served on the Knox session in previous years but stepped down when their terms of office ended after Knox implemented term service for elders.
The third individual, Charles Pearson, has a long history of church service in Hamilton where he served as an elder and was clerk of session for a great many years at Centenary Church.
With the induction of these individuals, there are now 22 elders on session, and that has resulted in some changes to the elder districts, changes which were put in place for the elder visits prior to the recent Communion service.
Operation Christmas Shoe Boxes
The children of the Sunday school are once again supporting Operation Christmas Child by filling the shoeboxes which will be sent all around the world to needy children. They will be assembling the boxes Sunday morning so if you have any items please see that they get to the Edrie Elder Room before the church service.
