~ From The Consistory ~

Today, Candidate Scott Dibbet will preach for us. Dear Congregation, the Dibbet family will be leaving our community
tomorrow. We have appreciated candidate Dibbets willingness to serve us with pulpit supply over the past many months. We commend our brother and his family to the mercies of the Lord as they leave to take up their responsibilities with our Lacombe Alberta FRC. If you would like to bid them a personal farewell they will be in the narthex immediately after this evenings service.

Next Sunday, Dr. David Murray will lead our worship services, D.V. We are in the process of putting together our church calendar for 2011
2012. A designated member of each society, club etc. should submit the events/meeting dates that are scheduled between September 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. Situations may arise that these dates will change, however, this tool will enable us to avoid/address conflicting dates sooner. Please submit these schedules to Julie La Rocque by August 24. Thank you!

If this interests you please contact Dr. Jerry Bilkes who will conduct these classes this fall.

Family Camp - Please take a moment to fill out the survey in the back of
