Rainmaker Rodeo Parade

Once again the Annual Parade has come to a conclusion. I wouls like to thank all who participated in preparing and riding on this years float. Special thanks to Edmonton Temple band for their willingness to come march and play.

The parade was a tremendous success all except the last 100 yards when 2 of our young people tried to get off of the moving trailer. In so doing they fell and hurt themselves. Both kids went to hospital -one left with a cast and the other limped away.

All in a days work - never a dull moment in St Albert!

MAY LONG WEEKEND

It finally here - its the Victoria Day long weekend!

What is Victoria Day?

Queen Victoria was born on May 24th but Canadians celebrate Victoria Day on the Monday before May 25. People in England celebrate it in June. Victoria Day became a popular holiday in Ontario (it was Canada West back then) in 1845 and a national holiday in 1901. During the 1900s, it used to be called Empire Day and then it changed to Commonwealth Day. Now Canadians call it Victoria Day.

Who Was Queen Victoria?

Victoria, who was queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and empress of India, was born in 1819. She was only 18 when she took over the throne in 1837 after her uncle George IV died. She ruled until her death in 1901, then her son Edward the VII became the King of England.

Its HERE!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

















Here is a tribute to all Mothers around the world.....



"I love you," - by Carl Sandburg
I love you,"said a great mother."
I love you for what you are
knowing so well what you are.
And I love you more yet, child,
deeper yet than ever, child,
for what you are going to be,
knowing so well you are going far,
knowing your great works are ahead,
ahead and beyond,
yonder and far over yet."

CANDIDATES SUNDAY - MAY 6, 2007

This is a reminder that this coming Sunday we will be focusing on the call that God places upon our lives.

As we continue in our five week mini series on the minor prophets this week we will look into the book and life of Jonah and discover the call that God laid upon his heart and how God continues to call people today.

With that in mind, as Jon & Tracy have been called into full time ministry, we will be collecting a special offering to assist them toward their entry into the College for Officer Training this coming September.

During the service we will be inviting other people who feel called to full time ministry or called in others ways to express their calling this coming Sunday.

Don't miss out this Sunday, be sure to come, read the book of Jonah in advance and come prepared to celebrate the fact that God is still calling and that people are hearing, listening and responding.

ACCEPTED!!!!!

It is my pleasure to announce the newest candidates for Salvation Army Officership -Jon & Tracy Savage.

At the recommendation of our Church along with the endorsement of DHQ and now THQ the Savages will be entering the College for Officer training this September to begin their two year training program.

I now ask that you lift up Jon & Tracy, Kurtis and Kassandra in prayer asking God to continue to guide and direct them, to strengthen them and to give them discernment as they and there family follow the calling that God has placed before them.
