Red Deer Church Welcomes the New Year!

The blessing of New Year’s Eve falling on a Sabbath allowed the Red Deer Church family to ring in 2023 together! There was inspiration in the form of scripture, team building, and very good food.

Following a countdown to sundown, Pastor Moises shared a message from Psalm 118:26, blessing all who come in the name of God, and blessing all from the house of the Lord.

All who are connected with the community were invited to share personal photos for a celebration slideshow and activity. The pictures were printed, and each family unit got to decorate their own “blank slate” poster board and then, following the message, write words of blessing onto each other’s posters.

In this way, the Red Deer Church family lived the purpose of Worship, which is to bless God and bless each other. The act of taking home a page of prayers and blessings to install as a tangible token of the spiritual support provided by such a community is a great way to start 2023.

The “warm fuzzies” were followed by a fun and fierce competition where the children got to challenge their parents and mentors! Red Deer Church is grateful for the leadership of Marjorie Landicho as well as Ritchie and Nanette Quines. The church that eats together, laughs together, and worships together will stay and grow stronger together.
