Nurture and Fellowship Ministries
|
| We are a family of faith! As a family, we
share good conversation each week following our service of Worship.
Christ has called us to love others and we strive to do this in
many ways. The elders at Knox share with the minister in reaching out
to and caring for the congregation. Part of their role is to enable
good communication, encourage growth in faith and offer nurture and
support. Everyone at Knox is a part of an Elder group to facilitate
this communication and support.

- Prayer Chain The prayer chain was formed to help church
members going through difficult times to know there are others who
support them, their families, friends and people they meet.
Contact the minister or church office to share your prayer
requests with the prayer chain.
- Events During the year several special events take place
at Knox to give use the opportunity to spend relaxed, social time
with one another and to share our hospitality with various members
of the community. Examples include “The Pancake Lunch” with
staff, students and children from GAP/Options next door, “A
Potato Supper”, and “The Church Picnic”. Look for these
events on the home page or in the coming events section of the
website.
- Coffee Hour Each Sunday after worship we enjoy a time of
fellowship in our church hall. Hospitality is shared among the
congregation. Tea, coffee, juice and other refreshments are
offered.
- Toonie Lunches Potluck and soup/sandwich lunches are
served periodically on Sunday afternoons for any and all who would
like to attend. A donation of $2.00 (a toonie) is requested to
help with expenses and to support our ongoing ministry of
hospitality. These meals provide an important social occasion
especially for elderly and widowed folk who may only have this one
outing in the week.
- Pastoral Visiting Members of our congregation visit on a
monthly basis those within our circle of care who are unable to
attend regular worship and participate in the activities of the
community of faith. Our minister is available any time for
emergency visits and maintains pastoral contact with all
associated with Knox Church.
- Care Facility Services Our minister and church musician
lead worship at Oak Bay Lodge at 2:30 pm whenever there is a fifth
Sunday in the month. The minister also leads worship at The Cedars
every other month at 10:30 am. Anyone in the congregation is
welcome to join in these services at any time. Contact the church
office for details
