TUSCANY COMMUNITY OUTREACH OP
Again, we have a great opportunity to be involved in our community by serving where needed. On Saturday, April 3rd from 1 to 3 pm the Tuscany Club will be hosting an afternoon of family fun including games and crafts for the kids, face painting, balloon artistry and some special treats. They are in need of volunteers (14+ years) to help run games and activities, face painting and operating the popcorn machine. You can contact the Recreation Manager at clubprograms@shaw.ca for more details. Our involvement in the past has been greatly appreciated by the staff at the club, so plan to come and meet some new people, and trust that God will open doors to share the true meaning of Easter!
WEEKEND TO REMEMBER
Be sure to check out the info table at church or go to www.familylifecanada.org for an upcoming marriage retreat put by Family Life Canada. It will be in Banff, at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, April 30-May 2. Whether your marriage is on the ropes, just coasting, or pure bliss, there is something for everyone - including special Alumni breakout sessions. A great mix of sessions lead by 'been there, done that' couples, projects for you and your spouse, and a chance to get away with each other. If interested, be sure to contact Max & Lynda Blazina or Gordon & Andrea Weynschenk and if there are 4 or more couples, we can get the discounted group rate. Also, the hotel rooms are discounted to $129 / night, and this rate is available for nights outside of the conference from April 26-May 5.
YOUTH - GAMES NIGHT
So, like, the last couple, like, activities have, like, been totally, like, AWESOME! Due to the, like, no sleep however, the youth, like, thought they should, like, take a bit of a reprieve. The leaders were, like, totally ready to go skydiving after, like, some all-night Sumo wrestling, but, like, the teens, were, like, not down with that. Leaders were, like, bummed. So, they will instead have a, like, quite, serene, and totally relaxing games night this Friday, the 19th at 6:00, at the Genn's home. Call Josh or Kelly Genn, Curtis Bestard, or Erin Hertzsprung to arrange for a ride, and cost is, like, totally free......dudes! Oh, and you can, like, bring a game that you like, totally like.
FRIDAY NIGHT PRAYER
Everyone is invited for Friday Night Prayer this Friday, March 19th at 7:00 pm at Max & Lynda's place (37 Tuscany Springs Circle). Afterward, we'll enjoy hanging out....a round of Settlers may even break out.
Just a reminder for you schedule type personalities, Friday night Prayer is at the Blazina's on the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month, and at the Miller's home in Cochrane the 2nd and 4th Friday of every month.
SUPPER WITH THE SHELTON'S
Just a reminder if you signed up for your supper with Pastor Bob and Debbie to make sure you don't miss out. Also, if you have not been at church the last couple Sundays and didn't sign up for the best supper you could ever have, don't worry, you will get another chance! As Bob moves into his new role of Lead Pastor at Tapestry, he and his lovely wife Debbie would enjoy getting to know everyone a little better....and what better way than over the dinner table! The Sheltons would love for everyone to pick a date when they would be able to join them for some great hospitality in their home. The sign up sheet will be circulating again this Sunday, so pick your day!
FROM MY HEART
You may have noticed a couple important attachments from Pastor Bob with this newsletter. Please take a moment to read them and give them some thought. What is God saying to you?
SYC - SUMMER YOUTH CELEBRATION
Parents of teens, keep the following week open as our youth will be attending SYC, a fantastic summer camp hosted by the CNBC. There will be more details to come, but we do know it will be July 19-24th (Junior High week), and cost is $195.
PRAYING FOR ONE ANOTHER
As you may be aware, we have just finished praying through the church directory! And.....we're going to start over! What a blessing it has been for everyone to pray for everyone! This week, please pray for Curtis Arsenault, and Binyam Asress. If these names are new to you, be sure to seek these people out next Sunday and introduce yourself! Also, we are thankful for God's provision for Dennis Fahner, Lisa Snyman's dad. He is heading back home tomorrow, and is grateful for your prayers. He knows that God's hand has been with him during his amazing recovery after a skiing accident. If you desire the church to join with you in prayer for any needs, please contact Lynda Blazina who will 'send it down' the prayer chain.
BIRTHDAYS THIS WEEK...
Well, guess who? Our very own Jana Rathje will be a year older this Sunday, March 21st! Did we miss you or someone in your family? Let Steve know and we'll update our records.
