Building Closed
We have had a few months now to come to terms with Meg’s request for a change in Pastoral Relations but moving forward we must begin to plan for our future. We want to assure you that we have been in touch with staff from Prairie to Pine Regional Council about the process of searching for a new minister. Marc Whitehead, ministry personnel from Crescent Fort Rouge United in Winnipeg has been appointed as our Pastoral Charge Supervisor in the absence of a minister and Mona Denton, ministerial staff from Stoney Mountain-Lilyfield, MB as a liaison to guide us through this process.
A year ago when we “closed down” our building, little did we know that the next year we would experience, yet, another Easter physically separate. But COVID-19 is still a huge presence in our world and, despite, vaccines becoming available, it remains crucial that we continue to maintain safe protocols. Plans are underway for a virtual Annual Meeting on April 25. Stay tuned for those details. The annual reports will be ready for April 11 and will be sent electronically to everyone. If you have no means to copy/print that document, please contact Cheryl Dyck either by telephone (468-6923) or email (office@knoxunitedkenora.ca) Arrangements will be made for someone to deliver your copy.
In the midst of still changing uncertain times, we are entering into another time of change at Knox – not a new experience by any means and nothing we cannot weather. We remain secure (and grateful) in the knowledge that we have a very competent Worship Interest Group and Worship Team to continue our worship services through whatever channels. And we have the strength and relationships of each other to keep us conneXted. Whatever your wants or wishes or needs might be, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Please stay safe and healthy,
Lynda Pyzer

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 Group can be reached at 468-6923 M – F mornings. We recently received a generous, Covid specific, grant of $5,000 from the Kenora 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 evolving community of faith that seeks to intentionally welcome new perspectives and leadership.Read more on Affirming
