September 14, 2014 - First Sunday of Creation Time in the Season of Pentecost - Baptism Sunday

Greetings,

Sunday Worship

I will be looking at the Exodus passage, and following it up with a look at ‘water’ in our journey (collective and individual) of faith.  This is a baptism Sunday!  We will be welcoming Elicia, daughter of Drew and Athena.  This is also our Welcome (Back) Sunday and start of Sunday School with Corn Roast (see info below)

The Readings are Exodus 14: 19-31 and Matthew 18: 21-25.  The sermon will be called “Through Water”

Sunday School Starts this Sunday

Our Spirit West Sunday School Program starts this Sunday.  The children stay with their parents for the first part of the Service and then are invited to go downstairs with their teachers for Sunday School.  This Sunday, we would ask that parents see Edina T. after the service in order to “register” your children.

Request for a ride to Church

One of our long time and dedicated members is currently experiencing mobility issues which prevent her from getting to church on her own.  I am not going to name her in this email, but will say that she lives just north of West Edmonton Mall near 95^th Ave and 170^th  St.  If you feel that you could offer her (and her wheelchair) a ride to church some Sundays, please call the church office.

COMMING EVENTS

Community Corn Roast at Spirit West

The Welcome Back/Meet Your Neighbour Community Corn Roast will be held on Sunday, September 14 after church.  This event is open to everyone in our neighbourhood, so get the word out. If you can help with cleaning the corn on Saturday, Sept. 13, please come to the Church at 10:00 am.
