Greetings,
The events at outlined below are in order by date. Some things require advanced planning, like the Photo Directory, so read through and then on Sunday sign up on the Appointment Sheet at the Church or call the church office and mark your calendars.
This Sunday – One Day at a Time
This Sunday, while Rhea and I are representing the congregation at the inaugural Northern Spirit Regional Gathering in Valleyview, Rev. Neville Smith will be leading worship. He will be sharing with you some reflections on the passage from the Gospel of Matthew where Jesus speaks to his followers about the futility of worry.
The Scripture readings are Ephesians 5: 15-20 and Matthew 6: 25-34. The title of the Sermon is “One Day at a Time.”
GARDEN CLEAN-UP DAY, this Sunday, May 26
We are having a Garden Cleanup Day on May 26 after the service. Wear your gardening clothes to church, and bring your trowel, spade or garden fork for the Garden Cleanup. This will help get our property looking nice in time for our 10th anniversary celebration on June 2. . A sign-up sheet will be available next Sunday.
ANNIVERSARY SUNDAY – June 2nd, 2019
On Sunday, June 2nd 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. It is hoped that following the service, we will have a time of fellowship to display pictures and share a few stories about our journey as a congregation. (I am also hoping for balloons and a cake)
