Greetings,
This Sunday is ANNIVERSARY SUNDAY
This Sunday we will mark a couple of milestones for this Congregation. We will be celebrating our 10th year as Spirit West United Church in our current building. We will also mark our 40th year as a congregation of the United Church of Canada remembering back to the formation of Aldergrove United Church. If you have had any connection with Aldergrove United Church, Gilchrist Memorial United Church or Spirit West United Church, we would encourage you to come out to this celebration.
The Scripture readings for the service are Genesis 12:1-8, Ephesians 4: 11-13, and John 14: 25-27. The “sermon” will be a reflection in three parts presented by members of the congregation under the headings: “In the beginning…”, “Into the promised land…”, and “I will pour out my Spirit…”
We will also be celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion at this Service.
Following the service, we will have a time of fellowship when you can look at photo displays created by Bruce S. and Aly L. You can also look through a collection of albums that will take you back to the earliest days of Aldergrove United Church. And we can share a few stories about our journey as a congregation. There will be cake!
OPA! WOMEN’S GROUP DINNER AND MEETING – Monday, June 3rd
Monday, June 3, in the Lower Hall at the Church. Come for the Welcome Time at 5:30pm with Dinner at 6:00pm. The menu is awesome (pork and chicken souvlaki, pita, spanakopita, dolmades, Kalamata olives, Greek salad, veggie salad, baklava, beverages). Price will be $10 per person. Just bring yourself (and a friend). A signup sheet is on the table by the office.
CHURCH BBQ – Sunday, June 9th
During the Time for All Ages on Sunday, June 9th we will be honouring the work of the Sunday School as our regular Sunday School classes come to an end for the season. If you, or members of you family, have been part of the Sunday School during the past year as teachers or as students please join us on Sunday. And after the service we will be joining together for a BBQ. There will be lots of food and games. Hopefully the skies will be clearer, so that the BBQ can be outside. Be optimistic and bring your lawn chairs!
CHURCH PHOTO DIRECTORY – 2019 Edition
We have decided that we will proceed with a Photo Directory for this our tenth year as Spirit West in our current building, and the fortieth anniversary of our constitution as a congregation. Photos will be taken from 2:30 to 8:30 pm on Monday, June 10 and Tuesday, June 11. The only cost to you is if you decide to purchase copies of the photos. Even if you do not purchase photos, your family photo will appear in the directory, and you will receive a free 8 x 10 photo as well as a free photo directory.
