Greetings,
Sunday Worship
I will be looking at the Gospel passage, and and the main
character's unique business model. For Jesus, the landowner's way of handling
his employees is an image of the kingdom of God. Christian theologians have
pointed to this passage as a practical demonstration of God's grace.
Grace is described as a gift not a reward. Reading the passage, one
immediately becomes aware that as human beings we sometimes get divine and
ethical concepts confused. The workers view the landowner's generosity as
an affront to justice, and the cry goes up, "It's not fair."
The Readings are Exodus 16: 2-15 and Matthew 20: 1-16. The sermon will be called “Through Water”
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 95th Ave and 170th St. If you feel that you could offer her (and her wheelchair) a ride to church some Sundays, please call the church office.

Spirit West Men's Breakfast
The Spirit West Monthly Men's Breakfast starts up again this Saturday morning. All men of Spirit West are invited to join for breakfast in the Lower Hall at 8:00 am. We share a great breakfast, good conversation and perhaps an opportunity to do a little maintenance around the church. Each attendee usually puts in $10 to cover the cost of the breakfast supplies and to build up the Men's Breakfast Maintenance Fund which is used to finance some of our maintenance projects.
Spirit West Community Garage Sale The Garage Sale is this Saturday, September 20 in the Sanctuary. We will have a church table, plus twenty tables rented by members of the wider community. All proceeds from the church table and the rental fee for the community tables goes toward the mortgage. There will also be a book table with the proceeds going to the Books for Breakfast fund supporting the church's Schools' Breakfast Program. We still urgently need volunteers to act as salespeople and as cashiers. If you can help, please call Carol Callas at 780-481-2662. Please come to the sale and help support the church.
