During the last three months, since the passing of our minister, the Rev. Mark Hoogsteen, the congregation has been blessed with the presence with many outstanding preachers, but as we move into September, the direction has been changed as Knox welcomes Rev. John Duff to the pulpit for a five-month period of stated supply.
The agreement as approved by the Hamilton Presbytery in July indicates that Rev. Duff will provide engaged as stated supply on a one-third time basis, to provide regular pulpit supply and essential pastoral care.
John expects to make maximum use of his time at Knox, and so one will not find him in the office, except for the odd occasion, but he will instead devote his time to the needs of the congregation, providing pastoral care as needed in addition to his preaching responsibilities.
John also says he is also looking forward to participating in the worship service at Heritage Place – perhaps better known as Knox North – where Knox has been participating in monthly worship services for the residents of that retirement home.
If anyone needs to reach John for any reason, including pastoral care visits, you can leave a message with Trish at the church office at 905-333-3013, or at contact him directly in Ancaster:
