Care groups are a way of breaking the church into smaller informal groups where you can get to know others within our church. Our hope is that over time and through various formal and informal gatherings a greater sense of community will develop within these groups, that you will seek each other out, listen to each other, care and pray for each other. We have attempted to put all individuals/couples or families in the church into a Care Group. Over the next two months, there will be 3 Care Group lunches following the Sunday church service. You will receive an invitation in your church mailbox for the lunch for your Care Group. We encourage you to attend this lunch. There will be no cost to you, it will not be long and children are invited, also. It is mainly just a chance for you to visit, over lunch, with others in your Care Group. Please let the Elder in charge of your lunch know if you can attend.
You should have received a letter from the Elder responsible for your Care group this summer but if you don't remember or are curious about which Care Group you are part of, check it out on the Elders' Information Board in the gym. If you are not included on a list, please speak to any of the Elders (listed below) and we will put you into one of the Care Groups.
We look forward to seeing you at the lunch for your Care Group:
Do you have a favourite hymn? We are inviting you to submit a specific hymn title that holds special meaning to you. Please include the title and a brief summary of one or two sentences about why this hymn stands out for you personally. We would like to include these hymns in our services over the next couple of months, along with our written statement in the bulletin. Please send details to Christie, either via email or in her mailbox on the foyer.
On October 17th we will tour Studio West Bronze Foundry & Art Gallery. Meet at the studio, 205 - 2nd Ave E, Cochrane for the 10:30 a.m. tour that will be approximately 45 minutes long. There will be time to look around the studio before a 12:30 luncheon at Smitty's restaurant, 2 Westside Dr. (on Highway 22). Please let your phoner know when she calls if you need a ride.
Any questions, please phone Loreli & Ron.
Volunteers are needed for Sunday School over the summer to help Sara. Also someone is needed to teach the age 3 to grade 3 class on June 30.
