How do we figure out whether a voice is God’s voice or our own?  Samuel is confused when God calls.  Thinking it’s his blind priest, Eli, Samuel eventually comes to hear a hard message, and is challenged to speak judgment on his mentor.  When have we been called to do something difficult - even though it’s true and right?  What helps?

The Facilities team would like to express our thanks to the many individuals who came out and participated in our Spring Cleanup on Saturday May 25th.  Our church building and grounds now look great. We were able to sweep gravel off the asphalt and grass lawns, repair the rear fence, tend the gardens and hedge, move the rear paving stones, dispose of old rail ties, add new gravel to the rear parking areas, wash the foyer windows, trim trees by the tennis court, and have a great time! Thank you for providing some TLC.

Last Saturday, some energetic people helped clean up our grounds, including weeding our flower beds and getting them ready to bloom!!   WE NEED SOME HELP THIS SUMMER WITH OUR FLOWER BEDS.  There is a sign-up sheet in the foyer.  If you have an hour or two each week to come and take care of ONE flower bed on our grounds, we hope you will ‘adopt a flower bed’ so the work is shared, and we can all enjoy the beauty of nature!!

Kannawin invites children and youth to experience  “the ultimate summer camp experience” at the only Presbyterian camp in Alberta, which is nestled in scenic Sylvan Lake, Alberta.
Camp Kannawin’s theme for the summer is the Life of Jesus. From the Christmas Story through to the resurrection, the life of Jesus will be explored with themed activities and crafts planned throughout the week. From resurrection gardens to nativity scenes, there will be plenty of opportunities for creative expression and learning.
The Boehm children from our congregation attended the camp last summer and have reported on  “nice counsellors, nice lake & good food!” They also noted that the water activities were a highlight of their experience.
Please visit the Camp Kannawin website for registration, prices, dates of the camps for each age group, and other information.

Mr. Ian McKechnie (Editor of Presbyterian History) is compiling a 150th Anniversary Book for The Presbyterian Church in Canada. This will include a collection comprising the first-hand stories of where we have been, where we stand, and where we are going as The Presbyterian Church in Canada.   This will also include a Musical Tribute Performance for General Assembly 150 in 2025!
Do you have a favourite memory of singing in a choir, attending a youth group, going to a potluck supper, or attending the General Assembly—or anything else that shaped your involvement in church? What are some of the things your congregation is doing today to share the good news of Jesus in your community? And what are your hopes and dreams for the PCC as it approaches 150 years?
Please send us your stories!
Thank you for taking part in this special Book!
