Dear friends, I pray that you are well. There are just a few couple I wanted to talk to you about. Many of you were able to go to the concert for the Common Cup Company this week. What a wonderful event that was in the life of our congregation! The music was entertaining and uplifting and it was a lot of fun to sing as well as visit with so many people. But one thing I want to mention that I got to see that a lot of other people didn't. The amount of effort to put on the event was tremendous! There was selling tickets and CD's, putting the band up for a whole week, preparing lunches and dinners for the band, and so on. The whole week was a lot of fun. But a lot of people worked hard and with joy and I really want to thank all of them. Really wonderful stuff! Thank you, thank you.
Also, the other thing is that I am getting excited about the Ecumenical Mission for a couple of reasons. First, I know that Danielle, the leader, is a tremendous speaker, and it will be interesting and challenging. I am confident that the content will be first class. And second, this kind of event which is churches all over Sherwood Park is really a rare event. I have never run into anything like it and it is something to be supported. In so many ways, the divisions within the Christian community are such a sadness and tragedy, and this is a small glimpse of what real ecumenical work can look like: Churches coming together to better proclaim the Gospel. Please join me!
