The Battle of St Albert(a)
2008 Self Denial Campaign continued...the plan
This year the Church will be divided into two teams - Team William Booth and Team Catherine Booth. Yes you guessed it - men against the women. The first team to raise $2500 of the total $5000.00 objective wins. The losing team then must state that they are not worthy to the winners in a sunday morning service.
100% of all proceeds raised will be given to our Territorial Headquarters Missions Project in Toronto which will be given to the work in Mexico.
Please give generously to this years campaign.

2008 Self Denial Campaign
Purposely coinciding with lent, this years self denial campaign begins this coming Sunday Feb 17, 2008.
Be sure to come this Sunday and participate in this years Self Denial campaign.
Self denial is the time when we deny ourselves (not the church) certain privileges that we enjoy here in Canada such as going out for coffee, lunches, dinners, etc. The idea is that we all either stop or reduce these outings and instead give what we would have spent on this things to our missionaries serving in different countries who are less fortunate then we.
This years campaign will last 7 weeks (assuming we hit our target in this time frame) and our goal is to raise $5000.00. If each and every person that came to church gave an average of $20.00 each week we will surpass our goal in this time frame.
Be sure to come this Sunday and participate in this years Self Denial campaign.
Lent has begun
Starting last wednesday (Ash wednesday) the lenten season began.
Lent, in most Christian denominations, is the forty-day liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter. The forty days represent the time Jesus spent in the desert, where, according to the Bible, he endured temptation by Satan.
The purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer—through prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial—for the annual commemoration of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, as celebrated during Holy Week, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Yes - Spring Has Arrived!
Yes its true the RV's have landed in Edmonton at the Agricom. Of course this means that spring has come. Forget what the groundhogs say and what you see and feel outside - the shows clearly identify that spring has come, at least in the minds of RVers.By the way, if you are looking for our Pastor you will find him at the show checking out every exhibit very carefully on Thursday from 5-10pm, Fri & Sat from 10am-10pm and Sunday from 2-5pm.
Word has it that the trailer pictured above is his trailer of choice this year!
See you at the show and of course we will see you on Sunday at Church as well!

I Love Alberta!
Just when you begin thinking that maybe just maybe spring is coming and winter is falling behind suddenly boom - a winter blast of storm sets in. Freezing temps (-45), strong winds and heavy snow has gripped the city.
Be sure to stay warm, stay off the streets. Its time to cuddle up in front of a fire with a good magazine like trailer life, RV lifestyles or RV West. Dont worry campers SUMMER IS COMING - I HOPE!
