Greetings.
Rev. Larry is on a well-deserved holiday this week. We are fortunate to have talented people who can lead the worship service during his absence. This Sunday, Anne Dingwell will lead the service.
Acts of the Apostles: 11: 1-18
Revelation 21: 1-6
The Sermon title is “A New Way to
be.”
Church Photo Directory
Save the dates of Friday, May 3 and 4
to get your picture taken and be part of the pictorial history of the
church! There is no cost to the church or to you (unless you want to get
additional photos taken). Everyone who participates gets a free directory
and a free 8 X 10 portrait. There will be sign-up sheets in the church so
you can book appointments. You can also call or email the church to set
up appointments 780-481-1406 or spiritw@telus.net).
Hurry – appointments are going fast! We have 6
time slots left on Friday and 8 on Saturday. Each appointment will be 30
to 45 minutes long – 15 minutes for the photo session , then 15 to 30 minutes
for you to choose the portrait to go in the directory. You will be able
to choose and purchase additional portraits, if desired.
Spring Plant Sale
Plans for our "Annual Plant Sale"
are underway! Be sure to mark May 17 and 18 on your
calendars and let your friends and neighbours know about our sale. Any
plants left over on Sunday the 19th will also be available for purchase by
church members. Bonnie Cannam is looking for volunteers to assist with
this project. We're also asking you to collect flats from pop or beer
cans -- we'll need lots of them for buyers to transfer plants to their cars.
Messy Church: Pilot – June 1st
Messy Church is an innovative way to be the Church in a way
that appeals to all ages, particularly young families. It is an
opportunity to experience the stories of faith in a different way and time from
the typical Sunday morning. It is an experience of community time
involving story and music, a variety of “messy” hands-on crafts and activities,
a celebration and dinner. We will be piloting “Messy Church” on Saturday,
June 1st at 4:00pm. Please spread the
word to others who might enjoy this experience. On June 1st we
will share the story of Noah in a number of ways. If you want to know
more about Messy Church, check our website www.spiritwest.org
Upcoming Movie Nites:
The next few movie nights are Friday, May 3, Friday, May 31
and Friday, June 28.
If anyone has a suggestion of movies to see or wants more
information, please call Marian at 780-487-2851 or church office at 780-481-1406.
