Rev. Erin McIntyre is partnering with Diversity/Diversité Cornwall to hold a Service of Worship in support of Pride Week in Cornwall! We continue to support the work of Diversity/Diversité Cornwall by taking part in their Pride Week celebrations, including the Parade on Saturday. We are honoured to facilitate a Service of Worship that welcomes all people to God’s loving care regardless of who they are or who they love.

On Sunday, July 16, 2023, we welcomed into the church community through baptism Brody Edward Campeau, son of Kelli Shaver & Mark Campeau and Amethyst Rosalind Oberon Tarle, daughter of Lauren Oberon and Cameron Moinz Tarle. The Oberon/Tarle family provided refreshments following the service, offering a moment of celebration for both families as they entered their children into the family of God through the sacrament of baptism. Congratulations to the Campeau and Oberon/Tarle family. We wish every blessing to you and your children.
Each weekday between 7:30 – 9:00 AM, the Agape Community Kitchen will open its doors for school-aged children to drop in for a nutritious breakfast and a lunch to take home. This initiative will continue to run during the summer months. We are supporting the Agape Community Kitchen by collecting specific non-perishable items for their program.
We are collecting:
Our next ‘Collection Sunday’ will be on Sunday, August 6th. Be sure to bring in your items before then to help support kids in our community. You can drop off donations during office hours or on Sunday mornings. For more information, please contact the office!

Back in December 2022, we were hit with a bad storm and unfortunately had to cancel our planned Christmas service. So instead, why not join us on Sunday, July 23rd to celebrate Christmas in July! Get into the festive spirit while enjoying the beautiful summer weather! We will see you there! Merry Christmas!
On Monday, July 3, 2023, Knox-St. Paul’s supported the Agape Centre by hosting lunch for those in need.
Knox-St. Paul’s runs a program called “Feed my Sheep” which helps run the Agape Centre kitchen on statutory holidays when the facility is normally closed. This month, we kept the kitchen open for the Canada Day statutory holiday held on the Monday.
With thanks to those who help keep the Feed my Sheep program supported throughout the year, we are honoured to support the work of the Agape Centre in the community. If you would like to support the Feed my Sheep program, please visit our Donations page and indicate on your donation that you would like to direct your funds to the Feed my Sheep program.
We were pleased to collect and donate underwear to Victim Services of Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry and Akwesasne as part of our Underwearness for Human Trafficking campaign that took place in April.
