Honouring the Legacy of Faith and Sacrifice
This Remembrance Day, we pause to recognize the profound dedication of those who have built and made Knox work. For generations, this congregation has embodied the spirit of faith and hope through the generous contribution of their time, talent and money. Every volunteer hour, every donation, has been a seed planted in the community, passed on to next generations, allowing vital ministries and outreach to engage neighbours.
Today, our gratitude extends especially to the brave individuals from Knox who made the ultimate sacrifice, in service to all of us today. Their names stand as a powerful, poignant reminder of the cost of freedom and the commitment required to maintain a country where faith and hope can truly thrive. They gave their lives to keep Canada, and this church, on a path where compassion, community service, and spiritual growth are possible.
Their legacy is woven into the very fabric of Knox. As we remember them, we reaffirm our commitment to uphold the values they defended: ensuring that the light of faith, hope, and community remains a vibrant beacon. Lest we forget their courage, their gift, and the enduring mission those before us served. ( click on the POPPY above to learn about the brave Knox souls which Susan McAlpine kindly provided )
Our United Church of Canada’s 45 Moderator
The Right Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath is our United Church of Canada’s 45 Moderator.
Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath studied History at McGill University, earned her Master of Divinity at Emmanuel College and completed her Doctorate in Ministry, with a thesis titled “Aware, Repair, Renew: Preaching Transformation in a Mainline Church.” It centers on how preaching can foster transformation through awareness, reparation, and renewal. Rev Heath’s ministry trajectory began at the Claresholm Stavely Pastoral Charge, in rural southern Alberta. Since 2007 she has served as the lead pastor at Wall Street United Church in Brockville, Ontario. This migration from local pastoral care toward an increasingly prophetic, justice-orientation retains deep roots in both congregational ministry and the broader church structures. A constant focus of preaching that changes hearts and communities, by using spiritual courage.
Since being installed as Moderator on August 11th, 2025 she has committed to:– Deepening faith in changing times.– Embracing being small, recognizing church sizes and resource constraints, will have richness of intensity for the gifts they are able
to offer.– Creating connections in a divided world by building bridges, listening across differences and encouraging life giving relationships.– Utilizing Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath’s bilingual skills to engage the
Francophone community..
Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath’s doctoral thesis, public statements, and sermons such as the “Unstuck and On a Mission” explore tensions between waiting and mission, between being “unstuck” spiritually and moving forward into mission is an evolving direction we can expect. Transformation is not always through big dramatic changes but through: awareness of hurt acts of repair renewal of faith and community, encouraging small faithful actions caring for local congregations fostering justice connecting across differences through strengthening what is “small”
She has repeatedly emphasized “faithfulness, often humble, often committed,” the importance of the small, everyday work of the church.
Transformation doesn’t always come in grand gestures, but in faithful preaching, in small shifts, in strong relationships, and in embracing vulnerability and justice.
