All of that was possible because of your great contribution. Our next work bee is scheduled for Saturday, November 8, from 9 am to 12 noon. Please join us for this worthwhile cause. We could use workers with sewing machines and sergers, but we also need help from non-sewers for a variety of tasks: ironing, cutting, adding snaps, measuring and tracing, folding, etc. This request for help is not just for ladies, as we also have men that come out to help. Some of the tasks require a level of strength that unfortunately not all ladies have. Please let me know if you plan on coming so we can ensure we bring enough work for everyone: lindesrosiers@gmail.com Location: LDS Church, 9010 - 85 Street NW Edmonton.

Sign Up For A Prayer Time 24/7 Prayer started in 1999 with a simple student-led vigil, and now, almost three decades later, thousands of communities take part, and prayer is happening in churches and communities in over half the countries on earth. This year Bethel will be hosting 24/7 Prayer from September 6 until September 13. We will be joining believers across the globe during the Global Week of Prayer. Together, churches in nations around the world will be seeking God for spiritual renewal, praying for their communities, and interceding for every nation—that God's Kingdom would come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. What a beautiful reminder that while we serve in different places, we are one Church, united before one King. Whether you've prayed for an hour before or not, I encourage you to step into this opportunity. Time spent in God's presence has a way of renewing our hearts, aligning us with His purposes, and reminding us that the work of His Kingdom begins in prayer. Many who have participated before have been surprised by how quickly the hour passes—and how reluctant they are to leave. You're welcome to sign up to pray at Bethel or from home. The church will be open: Tuesday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Wednesday 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We will also gather for a special Worship and Prayer Evening on Wednesday from 7:00–9:00 p.m. , and it would be a joy to worship and pray alongside you. If you're able, please consider taking an hour and adding your voice to this global chorus of prayer. Together, let's ask God to move powerfully in our churches, our city, our nation, and throughout the world.
