The church is all decorated for Christmas Eve with the
candles glowing in the stained glass windows, the tree standing in the corner
and the Nativity scene gracing the Communion table. It’s a pretty sight, the
church being decorated to remind us about the true meaning of Christmas.
Knox Church has already held its lessons and carols service along
with the Christmas pageant, and so on Christmas Eve, the congregation will
gather along with family and friends as well as visitors for two special
services.
Rev. Bob Docherty, the interim moderator at Knox, will be
conducting both services, with a family Christmas Eve service scheduled for 7
p.m. following by the Christmas Eve Communion service at 9 p.m.
There will be lots of special music at both of these
services including anthems from the choir and of course many of the traditional
Christmas hymns.
You are invited to join with us for one or both of these
services as we celebrate Christmas at Knox.

Dear Friends
at Knox,
Hard
to believe the year is almost over; seems
to have gone so very
quickly. My first semester at Presbyterian College is now complete; finals
ended for me on Dec 16th. I believe everything went rather well. Don't wish to say any more until after the results are
posted because, as Abraham Lincoln is reputed to have said, "The hen is
the wisest of animals - she does not cackle until after the egg is laid"!
The winter semester begins on Jan 7th, so I have a couple of weeks to enjoy the
holidays with my family.
Also,
as many of you know, when I was last in Burlington at the end of October I
appeared before the Student and Colleges Committee of the Presbytery of
Hamilton. I am happy to say that all seems
to have gone well and the Presbytery has certified me as a candidate for
ordained ministry.
Let me take
this opportunity to thank all
of you once again for your
help and encouragement. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the
members of Session for commending me to Presbytery.
My
thoughts and prayers are with you as we begin this holiday season. Allow me to wish you all a Blessed and Merry Christmas and a
Joyful New Year!
In Christ,
Victor
For unto you
is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord (Luke
2:11).
