2010 Wetaskiwin Church Bonspiel

Today was the community Church Bonspiel and our church had three teams entered. The Blayne Leeuw Rink: The sweeping seems to be left to the younger men The Bert Weaver Rink: Bert lining up his shot And the Jan Schwonik Rink: Even the kids love curling here The winner of the day was Team Schwonik. Jan going for the gold They won the opportunity to plan and host the event next year. Well done to the teams from Malmo Mission Covenant Church. You made us look like we knew what we were doing out there. The cheering fans (Otherwise known as the peanut gallery) And good job for the cheering section! Check out the whole photo collection for the day. Here.

How to pray in hard times.

There are times in life when we pray hard "Lord change my most difficult situation."
When we should possibly be praying, "Lord give me strength to live through this situation."

Perspective. Outlook. Attitude. They all play a part.

And did you know that when you seem weak and limited there is actually more room for God to work powerfully in and through you?

Yep. That's what we talked about this week.

Learning the Art of Loving Well

You know that this loving others business is fine when the person we need to love is, well, not offensive to us. But what happens when they seem just completely unloveable?

A story about Anne Litaker gives us a glimpse into the art of loving and there are some things we can learn from scriptures about ways we can learn the art of loving too.

Take a listen to Feb. 14th's talk on The art of loving well.

Apologies. Again.

Post modern technology has failed us again and the sermon on Sunday didn't record. My apologies for that. I know some of your small groups use them for the group studies during the week.

I have been working on a backup plan for times such as these and I'll try to work on that for a while.


Blessings.

What does a Saviour look like?

Ever wonder what a good saviour looks like?
We took a shot at exploring that last Sunday. From Mrs. Libowitz to a guy running into a burning house, you can relive the moment here:

Lets call it our Annual Story Telling Day

This Saturday (Jan. 23) starting at 12 noon with a lunch provided by the youth (fundraiser) we will be holding our Annual Meeting.

This is where we tell the stories of the past year and remember God's faithfulness to us and provision for us these past 12 months. You are all invited to come down and hear the stories and share in the day together.

If you are a member here at Malmo MCC you will also have a vote or two to make. Our budget and voting on some new leaders will be a part of the day too.

So come on out and lets spend some good time together with one another and the head of the Church, Jesus Christ.

At our Annual Story Telling Day.

With apologies to those looking for this weeks sermon



There are occasions when the recording technology we use simply refuses to record and we only find out about it after the fact. Sadly this was one of those weeks.

So if you were coming here to find out why bother praying, what good does it do, we'll see what we can do for you down the road a bit.


Hey, in life stuff happens.
Stuff happens in churches too.
