Hello everyone,
As we move toward September (this Sunday is Sept 1st),
activities at Spirit West are starting to gear up again. Note especially
the Welcome Back Sunday and Community Corn Roast below.
Worship
This Sunday as we gather at the Table for Communion, the readings challenge us to think about who is at the Table and who is not. Who sends out the invitation to Christ’s Table? Who decides the guest list? Where are each one of us in the story?
This Sunday as we gather at the Table for Communion, the readings challenge us to think about who is at the Table and who is not. Who sends out the invitation to Christ’s Table? Who decides the guest list? Where are each one of us in the story?
The
Scripture Readings are: Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16 and Luke
14: 1, 7-14.
The Story
for all ages is about St. Lawrence of Rome, a tale of heroism, ingenuity and
treasure from the middle of the 3rd century
The Sermon
title is, “Who is at the table?”
Call
for Teachers:
It’s that
time again. Sunday School registration is Sept. 8th. We
are starting with a whole new curriculum, “Seasons of the Spirit,” (great name)
which should be great fun. Our classes have been growing so we need extra
help. Also our children are growing and new members are joining so we
need help. Our children are our future. Contact Dana at danielanddana@shaw.ca, 780-761-5028 or
Edina at brepairs@shaw.ca or 780-481-3508
for more information.
Seasons
of the Spirit Curriculum Info Meeting Postponed
The meeting
that Dana, Edina and I were going to have tonight to introduce the new
curriculum to teachers and other interested adults has had to be
postponed. Watch this space for a new date.
Welcome Back Sunday and Community Corn Roast, Sep. 8th
September 8th
is going to be a big Sunday at Spirit West. There will be registration
for our Sunday School, as well as something a bit new. At noon (following
the service) we will be hosting a Community Corn Roast. We are holding
the Corn Roast in cooperation with the New Ministries Development Committee of
Edmonton Presbytery (who are providing funding). It is a free event and open
to the whole community around Spirit West. Invite your neighbours to
come. Join us for hot dogs, corn on the cob and apple crisp and lots of
fun! There are signup sheets at the
church if you wish to volunteer to shuck corn, help set up, or bake an apple
crisp. You can also call or email Edina at brepairs@shaw.ca or 780-481-3508 to offer
your help.
Spirit
West Prayer Chain
As many of
you know, Spirit West has a Prayer Chain, a group of people who have committed
to continue our prayers of concern from Sunday through the week. To be
part of this ministry, email your request to spiritwest.prayerchain@gmail.com
. You may also email a request for prayer to the same email address.
