Church Family: We continue to remember Bill T and his family as they mourn
the passing of Jenny. Pray for comfort and strength for the family. We pray for
patience and healing for Peter B as he had knee replacement surgery Tuesday. We
pray for Teus and Lita and Jordan as they are thankful that he is able to have his
trach removed but they found out that the healing process will be more challenging
then they anticipated so we pray for patience and that the Jordan will heal quickly.
Brad V has been seeing doctors for pain in his leg but unfortunately there is
nothing they can do at this time so we pray for healing and freedom from his pain.
We remember Silia V’s brother Jan in the Netherlands who was recently diagnosed
with cancer. She will be leaving to visit there June 26. We rejoice that Abe and
Shelby were planning to be married in our church Saturday. We pray for a blessing
on their marriage. We are thankful that Pastor Al and Sharon D arrived safely we
pray that they may feel welcome here and that they may enjoy the time they spend
ministering here.

From the Deacons- Offerings for June:
 June 18--Aboriginal Ministries: The Aboriginal Ministry is made up of a
national committee (Canadian Aboriginal Ministry Committee), three Urban
Aboriginal Ministries, and a Justice and Reconciliation Mobilizer, each using
their strengths to support healing and reconciliation between Aboriginal peoples
and non-Aboriginal people in Canada. It is rooted in a recognition of our
Creator’s love for all creation and in the understanding that we all have gifts to
offer one another.
 June 25—SABC: “Southern Alberta Bible Camp is a youth-focused Christian
camp whose purpose is to challenge, encourage and inspire campers spiritually
and physically to help equip them for life and to develop Christian leadership in
young adults.”
Iron Springs Announcements :
 We as council, and congregation, welcome the arrival of Pastor (Al), Albert
D and his wife Sharon. They arrived this past week from Grand Rapids area.
They are both 70 plus years young! Pastor Al has been involved in interim
ministries before, serving in 10 different church communities. He was also
pastor in the Nobleford CRC congregation during the late 1980's. We pray for
their time in our congregation over the next few months, and also for God's
blessing as we get to know and share in ministry with them over the summer.

Tuesday, June 27th at 8:00 pm. This will be held at the D’s and all ladies are
invited. If you plan on attending and you have some time - could you please
write out (or print out) your favorite recipe and stick your name on it. A girl can
never have to many recipes and Joc is a pretty good cook!!!

kids become hands-on inventors who discover they're lovingly crafted by God.

Congregation will meet with him and his wife to show them around the

held in Lethbridge. A sense of church community was the main focus.
