April 27, 2014 - The Second Sunday of Easter - Celebrating the Fifth Anniversary of the Grand Opening and Dedication of Spirit West United Church

Happy Easter

Anniversary Sunday

This Sunday, April 27, Spirit West will be marking five years in our church building and (as was pointed out to me this morning) thirty-five years as a congregation. 

We want to celebrate this milestone, by encouraging everyone who has or has had a connection with Spirit West (or its predecessors Aldergrove United and Gilchrist United) to come out and celebrate with us.  Since you are reading this email, this is an invitation to your family to come join the celebration. 

If you are unable to attend, could you send us a greeting (email to spirit@telus.net) that we can post/read on Sunday.  Spirit West has touched many lives and this is not really reflected on Sundays alone. So, on Anniversary Sunday, we would like to see (or hear from) as many of you as possible.  If you have been around Spirit West for a while and know of people who have had a connection with this church but who might not get this email, please invite them.  Following the Service there will be an Anniversary Lunch (with Cake!)

And finally, if you would like to help in any way with decorations, food, (all those party things) please let Norma at the church office know.

 Men’s Breakfast

There will be a Men’s Breakfast this Saturday morning (Apr 26) at 8:00 am in the Lower Hall. We usually contribute $10 each to cover the cost of the food and to build up the Men’s Breakfast Maintenance Fund.  All men are welcome to attend.

Lent Study

For those in the study, your reading for this week is Listen Carefully – His Final Words  on p. 107.  The Scripture readings are Matthew 27:33-43, Mark 15:22-32, Luke 23:26-43 and John 19:17-27. 

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.  If you would prefer to talk to someone, you can call Marian Tannahill at 780487-2851 and Bonnie Cannam at 780-444-2230.
