Hello everyone,
I want to start off with a big thank you to Edina and her
crew for a wonderful Corn Roast last Sunday. It was a lot of fun.
There are pictures of the event on our Facebook page: ( https://www.facebook.com/SpirtWestUnitedChurch

Worship
This Sunday is about “Lost and found.” In the Gospel, Jesus speaks about the dedication of two people in finding something that was lost. We have a shepherd with a lost sheep, and a woman with a lost coin. In Paul’s first letter to Timothy, we heard the words of someone who was lost, but now is found. We will be celebrating the Sacrament of Baptism.

School and Call for Teachers:
We
have started a new curriculum this year, “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.
Youth
Events
Youth
of Edmonton United ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/151827391623815/
) are
starting to gear up for the year’s activities. These are activities that
are open to youth from across Edmonton Presbytery. The first event is a Harry
Potter Progressive Dinner on Sep. 21. If you or a youth in
your household is interested in this or any of the other events, contact me spiritwest.minister@telus.net or speak to Cathy Sutherland.
Blessing
of the Animals, Sept. 29
In
anticipation of the Feast of St. Francis, Spirit West will be celebrating its
annual Blessing of the Animals during our morning worship. Bring your
pets (under positive control) to church and celebrate the gifts of God’s
creation. If your pet is not good in crowds, might be prone to eat other
pets, or is perhaps hard to transport (a cow or llama for example), bring a photo
with you.
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.
