The Caring Kitchen gathers teams of volunteers together from the church to cook meals for those in need in our community. This past year they made dinner once a week for an emergency warming shelter in downtown Kitchener. This ministry is one way we show God’s love by  providing care and nourishment for those in need.

If you are interested in being on our contact list to provide a meal when needed, please contact Knox.

Lenten Links

Lenten Links

The Lenten Links ministry is active during the season of Lent by reaching out, supporting, and connecting with various people in our congregation. Care packages of plants, cards, baked goods, meals, and children’s artwork are prepared. The care packages are delivered to those who are feeling disconnected, struggling, grieving, or overwhelmed.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Prayer-Shawls

Knox’s prayer shawl ministry provides comfort for those who are ill, going through a difficult time, or grieving.  Prayer shawls are tangible symbols of love. They are warm hugs of empathy and support; a private place of escape in which to rest, relax, and renew; something to hold on to when all else seems to be slipping away. Wrapping others in shawls made with prayer and loving thoughts is the gift. Prayer begins in the heart and the creation of a prayer shawl is a spiritual journey of prayer for the shawl maker.
