A big THANKS!, Youth retreat, & Lunch with Pastor Bob and Debbie

CARING FOR THE VEDOYA FAMILY - WAY TO GO!
Meg Vedoya, expecting their fourth child in 4 weeks, has been put on bed rest by her doctor because of pre-term labour concerns.  Obviously, this has put extra weight on Jay and the rest of the family.  Jay has left work to take care of the family and home, on top of attending classes (which hasn't left a whole lot of time for schoolwork!).
 
With some organizing from Steve Rathje, Joyce Poon, and Lauren Miller there has been a great response and all the dates have been filled!  God is good!
If you did not get a chance to sign up on the schedule but would still like to help in some way, please contact Meg or Jay at:
 
Jay & Meg (and Lisa, Aily & Kanon)
34 Seminary Ridge, Cochrane
403-383-8607 (Meg) / 403-383-8674 (Jay)

 
Thanks to everyone for showing God's care in such a tangible way!  Please remember the Vedoya family in your prayers. 
    
YOUTH
The youth will be having a retreat
this weekend, March 5-7.  Guaranteed non-stop fun!  Games, food, music and worship, not to mention plenty of surprises!  We will be meeting at the CNBC mission house (Cochrane seminary) at 7:00 pm Friday night, and will be back for church Sunday morning.  Please bring: sleeping bag, pillow, bible, outdoor clothes (that can get DIRTY), boots, Wii games, board games, musical instruments, a friend, and anything else you would bring for a sleep-over.  Cost is $45.  Please let Josh, Kelly, Curtis or Erin know if you are coming and if you are bringing any friends.
 
Also, on
March 12, we'll be joining some other youth groups for the HITMEN GAME at the 'Dome!  We're going to do a huge all-nighter complete with the hockey game, some rollerblading and a movie!  Details to follow.
 
LUNCH WITH PASTOR BOB AND DEBBIE
If you were not at church last Sunday and didn't sign up for the lunch of the century, you get a second chance!  As Bob moves into his new role of Lead Pastor at Tapestry, he and his lovely wife Debbie would enjoy getting to know everyone a little better....and what better way then over the dinner table!  The Sheltons would love for everyone to pick a date when they would be able to join them for some great hospitality in their home.  The sign up sheet will be circulating again this Sunday, so pick your day!
 
FRIDAY NIGHT PRAYER
Everyone is invited for Friday Night Prayer
this Friday, March 5th at 7:00 pm at Max & Lynda's place (37 Tuscany Springs Circle).  Afterward, we'll enjoy hanging out.
 
A NEW BABY!
CONGRATULATIONS to Mark & Anna Jones on the birth of their first baby, Tal Marcus Jones, Feb. 19.  Tal was born 6-7 weeks early and, while he is doing well, will need to remain in NICU for the next few weeks.  Please remember the Jones family in your prayers, and be sure to pass along your congratulations!
 
A NEW BABY.....ON THE WAY!
CONGRATULATIONS also David and Lauren Miller, as little Zoe will have the opportunity to become a big sister!
 
GIVING RECEIPTS
Charitable donation receipts for giving to Tapestry in 2009 will be available at church this coming Sunday.  If you need your receipt before then, please contact Kevin Napady at 403-208-1318 and arrange a time to pick it up from him.  Please give me him a day’s notice so he can ensure it's ready.
 
PRAYING FOR ONE ANOTHER
This week, please pray for the Weynschenk family (Gordon, Andrea, Jasmine and Nathan) and Skye Wilson.  Also, please continue to pray for Ver & Mila Averion who are in the Philippines following Mila's mom's passing.
Also, if you desire the church to join with you in prayer for any needs, please contact Lynda Blazina who will 'send it down' the prayer chain.
