Greetings,
Larry is on vacation and will return to lead worship on June 20..
This Sunday, we will be observing Aboriginal Sunday. Rev. Neville Smith will lead the worship service. Rev. Smith is a retired minister with 46 years of Ordained ministry that included 28 years as a United Church minister. His ministry encompassed the English and Dutch Caribbean, the Netherlands and Alberta and Ontario in Canada. His late spouse, the Rev. Joan Smith was a part of “Team Ministry" with him in various parts of the world. During the service, the message will be presented by Ron-Wayne Hoekstra. RW is a fluent Dutch speaking, full blood adopted Mohawk within the Haudenasoune Iroquois Confederacy Six Nations on the Grand. RW is a member of the St. Paul’s UC in Edmonton and a member of the new Northern Spirit Region Executive within the new restructuring of the United Church of Canada. RW has entitled his message “Which path will you take?”.
The Scripture readings for the service are Mathew 7: 13–15, Luke 10: 29-37 and Luke 24:13-35. RW will also be referencing Acts 9: 1-19; 22: 3:16; 26: 12-20.

SOCIAL MEDIA 101 (Social Media for Beginners)
Does the previous paragraph mean anything to you? Are you among those people who hear words like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and SnapChat and think you are hearing a foreign language. When some of your friends ask you to “friend them” are you confused? Do you think you might be missing out when someone you know asks you if you have seen the post on Instagram of a mutual friend’s darling new grandchild? Is sharing what your church is doing beyond Sunday (with pictures), something you might like to do? If this might be you, help and hope is at hand. Aly L. is offering a session on July 14 after the worship service to introduce members of the Sprit West congregation to the possibilities of Social Media. Please signup if you are interested in attending the course or call the church office to register interest.
