9:30 AM Creation's Last Song Scripture: Psalm 96 Text: Psalm 96: 1

Dear visitors, we are glad you have been worshiping with us. It is our
conviction that everyone should join him or her-self to a church body - see Belgic Confession article 28. If you have been prayerfully considering becoming members of our congregation we invite you to participate in our series of new members classes to become better acquainted and prepare for a decision to become part of our church family. If this interests you please contact Dr. Jerry Bilkes who will conduct these classes this fall.

With thankfulness to our Lord and King, we invite you to the ordination
and installation service of Candidate Scott Dibbet. This will take place DV 7:30 pm September 9, 2011 at Bethel CRC in Lacombe, AB. For those looking to make sleeping arrangements, you can contact the Greenway Inn at 403-782-7826 (located right in Lacombe).
