www.albertaadventist.ca/wm2015.
RECLAMATION MINISTRY: Do you have a concern for members who are no longer coming to church? Do you know anyone who
would be interested in joining a group to pray for and reach out to these individuals? Call Marlene at 403-782-9377 or leave your name
with Belinda at the church office. If you have names of non-attending members, please leave their name and information with Belinda
at the office, 403-782-6131, so we can pray for them.
ADVENTIST SINGLES WINTER RETREAT will be held at Foothills Camp, February 13-15. The theme for this year is “The Centre of

FOOTHILLS CAMP is now accepting staff applications for the 2015 summer camp season. If you are 15 years or older, have a desire to
serve God and love children, then go to www.foothillscamp.org to apply. You can also get an application from the church office. This
year’s theme is “FOLLOW JESUS” as we focus on the joy of a relationship with Jesus. Interviews will be done at CUC on January 25
and 26 or by phone/skype.
For more information, please contact Kevin Kiers at 587-876-2224 or by email at
[email protected]. Deadline to apply is February 23, 2015. Foothills Camp is “A Place Where You Belong.”
HAS YOUR ADDRESS CHANGED? Please be sure to let the church office know if your address has changed or will be changing. This
helps to keep our records up to date, as well as ensuring that you will continue to receive the Messenger and Adventist World
magazines. If you’re not receiving these magazines, please contact the office at 403-782-6131 or by email to [email protected].
CHURCH PARKING: Since the changes made to the church parking lot, vehicles have been noted in spots that are no longer parking
spots. Change is difficult but must happen as we can no longer park the way we once did, and courtesy is also a factor. Parking in
stalls that are clearly marked (ie. Maple Hall Dean) are NEVER to be used by anyone but designated people. An empty stall does not
mean it’s not needed. Parking in a spot that has NO cement block in front (ie. along the new sidewalk path) is not attentive as vehicles
parked along the hedge facing Maple Hall cannot pull in or back out of tight spots at right angles to vehicles behind them. Thank you
for your consideration of this matter.
THE GOLDEN HERITAGE CLUB invites everyone to our annual Valentine's Banquet, February 15, at the Memorial Centre in
Lacombe. Please come and enjoy scrumptious food, good friends, and an after dinner program. This party is our best attended party of
the year and so much fun. RSVP to Bob Bruce at 403-782-5737.
SUNDAY AT SEVEN: Come and enjoy the Juno-award winner ensemble Caprice as they present baroque music with a Salsa twist.
The concert, Salsa Baroque! Music of Latin America & Spain will be presented Sunday, January 25, at 7:00 p.m. in the CUC
Administration Building Auditorium. Admission is charged (free admission for CUC staff, students, and their immediate family)
CHURCH BULLETIN information should be at the church office each week by noon on Wednesday. It is appreciated if it is given in
writing. It may be left in the mail slot on the outside of the office, dropped off at the office, or sent by e-mail to [email protected]
