Gratitude to Annika Koch for laundering some of our Easter cloths.  They are now ready and in place for next Easter!
The congregation was blessed at worship on April 28th by the Claire House Team’s leadership of Sheri Coutts, Bill Judd, Pat & Duane Tritter, Terry Basaraba and Lynn Judd.  We are also thankful for the work of Elaine Wilson, Chief Operating Officer of CUPS (Calgary Urban Project Society) and her team, and for Elaine’s participation in worship on the 28th.
