From Maureen: Ladies, Please join us for Christmas Fellowship!
On Saturday, December 14th, you are invited to join us at Grace Lutheran Church for fellowship, devotion and special treats that you may provide. Those of you who have been participating in the Prayer Pal program can bring a gift for your recipient and reveal yourself to them. Several other women in the congregation have been invited to join us to help them feel more connected and put names and faces together. There is a sign up poster on the Fellowship bulletin board where you can indicate your attendance and the type of treat you plan to share. If bringing food is not an option for you, no problem! Just bring yourself and a festive spirit!

Longest Night Service: Join All Saints Lutheran Church, Saturday, December 21 at 3:00 pm for the Longest Night Service. For many people the approaching holidays are not a joyous time.

At the Longest Night service, we gather together as ones who are grieving. God desires to hear our grief and is with us in the midst of it. 13850 119A Street NW, Edmonton, AB T5X 5B7

"I thank my God every time I remember you . . . It is right for me to think this way about all of you, because you hold me in your heart, for all of you share in God's grace with me . . ." (Philippians 1: 3, 7)
So many people contributed to the success and joy of our anniversary weekend. On behalf of the committee, I extend grateful thanks to EVERYONE who supported us from the planning stage to the happy conclusion. Because there were such a number of folks who worked toward the success of our "birthday party", I will not attempt to name everyone individually, but please know how deeply your support and contributions are appreciated. We thank:
• All who assisted with ticket sales and collection of tickets at the door;
• Everyone who was part of the Tiedemann cleaning crew;
• The great group of people who picked up supplies, set up tables, decorated, and transformed our gym into a beautiful banquet hall last Friday;
• Brian Jones, Simon and Ben for being such accomplished and flexible leaders of the program-and Brian Brownlee, for making sure we could be heard;
• The wonderful folks who pitched in to clean up after the banquet and to ready the gym for Sunday morning's anniversary luncheon;
• All who contributed to making the Sunday Festival Service so memorable and beautiful;
• Everyone who supported and assisted David and Sherley in providing the delicious luncheon following the Sunday service;
• Shana and everyone who helped publicize our special celebrations;
• All those who continually work quietly in the background to make things happen within our Grace family.
My heart is full. We are so blessed.
