Howdy Pardners! (Yup, it’s that time of year) and Happy All Saints Day.
Worship
Part of the Spirit West “tradition” is to mark the arrival in Edmonton of the Canadian Finals Rodeo (Nov 7-11). So this Sunday is Rodeo Sunday. The Service will, in part, celebrate our horse-back heritage and the music will have a decidedly “western” feel. So even if you are an urban Cowboy (Cowgirl) put on your boots, your fancy duds and your Stetson and come on down to worship. We will also be gathering around the Table for Communion. The scripture readings focus on “the basics.” What is the most important commandment? How do we follow it in our day?
From the Scriptures we will hear from the Letters: Hebrew 9: 11-15, and from the Gospels: Mark 12: 28-34
The story for all ages is “What’s this for?”
The sermon title is “The Bottom Line”
Annual Stewardship Campaign
The Annual Stewardship Campaign is underway. Shortly you will be receiving by email and/or Canada Post your Stewardship Package, which will include the proposed Narrative Budget for 2013 and a Pledge Form. These Packages are also available for pick-up at the Church. Please carefully consider the ways in which you can keep Spirit West alive and well.
