The work of the Search Team is complete.
We had a congregational meeting on April 24, 2022, the day of the “big” reveal. Over fifty people were present online and in person to receive and make a decision on the recommendations of the Search Team. After the presentation by Tom Hallas, all present agreed by vote to the following:
- to extend a Call to Frances Flook effective August 1, 2022 as per the terms outlined in our Community of Faith Profile;
- to request that the Prairie to Pine Regional Council approves this Call, and;
- to disband the Search Team, with utmost gratitude, following the Covenanting service this fall.
Please pray for Frances and for all of us as a Community of Faith as we open our hearts and minds to each other’s ministry as we begin this new pastoral relationship.
Need Assistance with Food?
COVID – 19 has affected many of us in many ways. If you are experiencing food insecurity, and would like some assistance, please let us know. Our Pantry Outreach Interest Group can be reached at 468-6923 Monday to Friday mornings. We recently received a generous, COVID – specific, Grant of $6,000 from the Kenora & Lake of the Woods Regional Community Foundation. These monies are specifically to help alleviate some of the food insecurities many are facing during these unprecedented times. The funds must be spent within a year. No problem! I suspect the economic fallout will be with us for a while. Combined with the ongoing generosity of both Knox and community supporters means we are here to help.
You Are Not Alone!

At Knox United Church,
we celebrate diversity.
In God's world we are diverse in gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, culture, age, physical ability, religious perspective, and economic status. Jesus met people wherever they were in their journey. Relationship changes us. Knox is an involving community of faith that seeks to intentionally welcome new perspectives and leadership. We celebrate the richness, change and growth this brings to our journey together.
“May the grace of Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the holy spirit be with you all”
