Saint City Salvationists: August 2007

Long Weekend

Yes believe it or not the labour day long weekend has arrived. To some this is a depressing time of the year, to others, many are rejoicing. Not convinced - have you seen one of the Staples ads?

This ad might be the best marketing ploy of all time (it is right up there with the Coca Cola ad of the early 80's with Mean Joe Greene and the DQ ad a couple of years ago).

Check them out and you decide. Place your vote in the comment section.

Have a wonderful weekend - remember to be safe, be responsible and most of all make sure that you come to church on Sunday (if you are in town - of course)!

SOLD

Great News - Our bus has been sold.

The proceeds will go towards the completion of our new community response vehicle and towards the cost of replacing the chairs in our sanctuary.

Thanks to everyone who assisted us in selling it and special thanks to the group who purchased it!

The end of summer blues

Fall is in the air, every where you look around - the temps are droping, school shopping is well underway, our summer camp program (soul sportz) has now been completed, summer holidays are now over, hockey training camps are beginning, The Toronto bluejays are getting ready to pack it in for another year, and the grass barely needs cutting anymore. Kinda depressing eh?

Yes and No - after all a new season of opportunity is on the horizon. New programs, new experiences new possibiliities new friendships all for the taking.

As September arrives be sure to get involved and be ready to receive the blessings that God has instore for us all.

New programs, new ideas its coming - get ready, get set, go...........

This is going to be the best year yet!

Sunday!

Hey Everyone!

Please make sure to join us for Sunday worship @ 11am. Claudette Reid is conducting the service, and she has many great things in store for us. So make sure to support her and come on down for a time of good worship, fellowship and friends.

FAREWELL SUNDAY

This coming sunday August 12th, as we gather together for worship, we will also be coming to say goodbye to members of our church family, our friends, and colleagues.

Jon & Tracy, Kurtis and Kassandra Savage are about to embark on a life changing journey that God has prepared for them.

They will first take some holidays then head off to Winnipeg MB for two years of Seminary College and then receive there first appointment (most likely) somewhere in the Canada & Bermuda Territory.

Be sure to come out and support the Savage family on this there last Sunday in St. Albert and fittingly immediately following the service there will be a luncheon.

Greetings

Greetings everyone, just a note to say hello and let you know that we are having a great time in BC but are anxious to get home and get back to work. Here are some pictures from Halcyon Hot Springs and the area - its beautiful!
