January 11 to February 22, Thursdays from 9:45 am to 11:45 am

“Raising Kids With A Faith That Lasts” by Tim Kimmel is a study that introduces you to one

of your greatest privileges-helping your child begin a relationship with God. You'll see how

everyday conversations, family fun and purposeful

projects build spiritual foundations your son or

daughter can rely on for a lifetime and beyond.

Our immigrant family, Ali and Salwa Bilal, are in

need of rides to the grocery store, English classes, etc.

They enjoy going to “Alice”, in the Tipaskan area

(34 Ave and 85 St), to buy some of their Middle Eastern food. No interpreter is needed as the

store owner speaks Arabic. They usually go once per week. Other rides would be occasionally.

If you are able to help, please contact Magdy Mikhail

at 780-462-2682.

We Believe: in One God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, existing

eternally in three Persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy

Spirit

in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, born of the virgin Mary, who

died on the cross for our sins, was buried, rose from the

grave and ascended to the right hand of the Father

that salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for

all people, and that anyone who believes in Him will not

perish but have everlasting life

that Christians are to be filled with the Holy Spirit to grow

in godly character and serve the Lord more effectively

that the Bible is the Word of God and is our final authority

for faith and practice

in the blessed hope of the return of Christ to receive the

church unto Himself and to judge the world in

righteousness.
