Revered ^ordouv Crai/vc-h I have been housecleaning lately and have thrown out 10+ years of sermons - each one gem - but of what use are they after having been delivered? But I did find some odds and ends that can be recycled and this is one. The writer is talking about becoming an 'elder' in the congregation and has certain prayers about that eventuality. 1. I pray that I will not feel entitled because I am a key financial supporter in the church. This attitude means I consider the money my money rather than God's money. That means I am giving with a begrudging heart. 2. I pray that I will not say "I’ve done my time' in the church. Ministry through the local church is not doing your time, like serving a prison sentence. It is an outpouring of joy and thanksgiving to God. I love those churches where senior adults are the most represented among the nursery workers. I need to be among them. 3. I pray I will not be more enthused about recreational trips than ministry and service. There is nothing wrong with me getting on a bus and going to Calgary or Lethbridge. But there is something wrong when that is my dominant involvement in ministry in the church. 4. I pray I will not be more concerned about my preferences than serving others. This is where the music is too ioud, the hymns weren't quite right, the service was too long/too short. I failed to notice the others in the congregation that were singing with gusto, those that were wrapped up in the service, I was more concerned with my preferences than seeing others worship God. 5. I pray I will not have a critical spirit. I 'pray that I will not become a perpetuaTcritic. I don't want to grow old and cranky. I want to grow old and sanctified. Now that I am a senior adult in my own right, I need to make certain I am not a stumbling block or a hindrance to health and growth in my church. May the Lord grant me wisdom and service ali the days of my life, including my senior years. September Services: Sunday 10th - 9:00 am Sunday 24th - 9:00 am see you tyv C-hurch!

Then I use proven body manipulation techniques to relieve stress from those areas, beginning with a touch as light as the weight of a nickel. Sessions are generally deeply relaxing, and create feelings of warmth or gentle pulsing in areas being worked by the therapist. Chronic pain, particularly in the neck and back, and the related discomfort and life stress issues chronic pain causes, can be safely relieved. Think of this as a massage designed for your nervous system instead of muscle tissue. Please ask questions about CST! I welcome the opportunity to share the benefits of this therapy system with you. As a reminder, don’t forget that I'm now direct billing Alberta Blue Cross, AESBP, SunLife, Manulife, Great West Life, etc. Massages are available Fridays & Saturdays at Trends by T.C. Please feel free to contact me to book an appointment or to ask any questions.

MILO LIBRARY Summer Reading Program Wrap-up Wow! Time sure does fly when you’re having fun! The second half of this year’s program was full of crafts, games, and laughs all around. One of the more interesting challenges that the kids participated in was called “The Beaver Dam Challenge”. The group had ten minutes to construct a “beaver dam” on a piece of folded tin foil. The tin foil acted as the “river”. Materials used for construction of the dam included sticks, clay, dirt, and rocks. Once it was completed, water was poured into the river to test how durable the dam was. The result was quite impressive. The only water that leaked through was due to the fact that the walls of the river were not high enough. The finished product can be seen in the pictures below. One of the favourite crafts we made were called “Krazy Kazoos”. This craft consisted of a toilet paper roll with a piece of wax paper secured over one end with a rubber band. Whoever was playing the kazoo would hum into the uncovered end to play music. I’m sure the parents enjoyed this craft as much as the kids did. The results of this craft can be seen in the picture to the left. “Camouflage” was a game that was played in the park. One person is “it”, everyone else hides. To start, the “it” person counts down from 30, and everyone hides somewhere. After this time, the “it” person tries to find everyone. The catch is that the “it” person cannot move, they must stay in the same spot. When they cannot see anyone, the “it” person then closes their eyes, holds out their hands and calls out “Food and Water for __” seconds. They can choose if if s 15 seconds, 10 seconds, etc. During this time, everyone hiding MUST come and tap the “it” persons hands, and hide again. If they don’t, they are out. The idea with this game is, the smaller the time frame for “Food and Water” is, the quicker you have to be to find a good hiding place. To sum up, this year’s program was quite eventful. Attendance was steady. Every week, there were new kids signing up, which was great to see. The kids had lots of fun this summer, and I hope that they decide to return for next year’s program.
