The Knox Frox sewing group at Knox Presbyterian Church in Bobcaygeon, Ont., has been busy sewing quilts among other things for charity. The group has made baby bibs, adult bibs and several quilts, all ready to be distrib- uted to the various local shelters and pregnancy centre. Pictured (above) are Kathleen Morningstar and Margaret Strand. Pictured (top left) are Ellen Roberts, Janet McMann, Myra Coene and Margaret Strand (holding a baby bib). On the banister are some of several totes requested by the local Chil- dren’s Aid. PHOTO CREDIT KATHLEEN MORNINGSTAR
Two special events were recently held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Wingham, Ont. The congregation held a birthday drive-by in honour of Jo English’s 104th birthday. Jo, pictured in the centre photo, on right, was congratulated by her long-time friend, Betty Richardson, her junior of six years. As well, the Sundae Sunday was held on the church’s front lawn on a beautiful summer day. A few passersby also joined the congregation in sharing ice cream, toppings and fellowship.
This is a special year for Knox Presbyterian Church in Bracebridge, Ont., as the congregation celebrates 10 years in the Taylor Road location; however, Knox is much older than that, dating back to 1875. The congregation moved from its home on McMurray Street, where they had been since 1931, to Taylor Road in July 2013. This new building is fully accessible and versatile, making it a desirable location for many community groups and organizations. Over the past 10 years, the congregation has updated and renovated the building, most recently upgrading audio and video capa- bilities to provide services online. May there be many more years of meaningful ministry within the community and beyond. In this photo, the Rev. Dr. Heather Malnick and the Knox congregation celebrate—with cake, of course!
