It was an eventful summer at Altadore! Please take the time to read the Flashback Sunday Altadore Historical Summary by Marilyn K, and What We Learned From Visiting Other Churches by Moreen S. (Ask Wendy in the office for a copy!)

Be sure to join us next Sunday for our annual Welcome Back Service and Family Picnic. The picnic will be held at Sandy Beach following the service, $3 per person or $10 per family. Bring your own chairs, games and something to drink! All are welcome to attend!

Note that the last newsletter incorrectly said the Good Friends concert was Saturday, Sept 25th. The correct date is Friday, Sept 25th.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Eva W on September 2nd in Black Diamond. Eva was a long-time member here at Altadore as well as our former Envelope Steward for many years. Archie and Carol M were blessed to have had a very nice visit and lunch with her just last week.

If you are interested in reading more about Christians living in a society where they are a minority, please see the most recent blog posting by Rupen Das at dasworld.wordpress.com.

Sharon L would like to remind you that if you plan to attend the Alberta Women in Focus Retreat in Jasper from Oct 16-18, to book your hotel room at the Sawridge Inn prior to Sept 15th!

Note that bags will be available at the church starting this Sunday for the MCC School Kits.
