church and put together some bagged lunches for about 30 people. (4:30 pm - 6:00 pm)
Signup sheet available at Gift of Giving Table or contact Lori W 780-483-6542.
- We are still collecting mitts, hats, hand warmers, coffee cards, hot chocolate packages, coffee travel mugs, etc. for both Bissell Center and the Jasper Place Wellness Center. You can bring these items in and put them on the giving tree or leave them in the baskets on the table.

Forms are available from the office. This is free if you use our form, and have the screening done by the Edmonton Police Service)
PRAYER CIRCLE
There is now a Spirit West Prayer Circle. We gather at the church on Thursday mornings at 10:30. We share a reading, share our stories or concerns, and pray. There is no “sign-up” for this, just come as you feel the need. If you are interested, join us on Thursdays.
