Fall 2021 - Lunch package deliveries as described in the New Ministry below will be continued into the fall season and longer
if necessary. Lunches will not be held in Metcalf Hall until further restrictions have been lifted.
A New Ministry During COVID-19
During the pandemic Seniors Connecting at Knox is embracing a new format in delivering frozen soup lunch packages once a month on the 4th Saturday from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon. The homemade soup is prepared in our Knox kitchen and frozen in single portion containers. This frozen soup lunch package is provided to seniors who are isolated or find it difficult to go out. It is a new expression of our ministry since COVID-19 keeps us from eating in person over lunch in Metcalf Hall.

FOCUS AND MANDATE
The focus and mandate of this ministry is to welcome seniors of Knox and the community and to support them in such ways as to enrich their quality of life, and trust they will experience the love of God in and through the caring of the Knox Church family.
Lunch Bunch provides an opportunity for good food, fun and fellowship while eating out at a different restaurant on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 11:45 a.m. If you don’t like to eat out alone, but like to try new or different places, come with us!
A group of women from Knox Church go on weekend retreat in the spring and the fall. Retreats take place at Crieff Hills Retreat Centre, the Presbyterian Church in Canada’s retreat centre in Puslinch. From Friday evening until Sunday afternoon, they gather at Dove House to share a restful and refreshing weekend of fellowship, discussion, and good food and to enjoy the natural beauty of the countryside.
Participants share in providing and preparing the meals for the group and in the cost of renting the retreat house. Dove House will accommodate 24 people and women are welcome to come for just part or all of the weekend.
2022 Spring Retreat date: The Women’s Retreat planned for May 27, 28, 29 has been confirmed.
We meet on Friday at 6 pm for a delicious dinner at the Sunset Villa restaurant right next to Crieff Hills. Since dinner reservations must be made in advance, numbers are needed. After dinner we go to Dove House at Crieff Hills. During the weekend, shared teams are responsible for one meal. If you are not able to join us for the whole weekend, and find time at the last minute come anytime during the weekend. Enjoy the fellowship, fun, food and the beautiful surroundings at Crieff Hills. All women are welcome.
If you think you might be interested in attending for the weekend or a day and need more information please send an email to: womensretreat@knoxguelph.ca
