Church Board Update

As is customary in July, the board took a break from our regularly scheduled board meeting. We pray that everyone in our Skyview family is finding time this summer to rest, rejuvenate, and experience the restoration and love of Christ. The board wishes to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of our ministry leaders and teams who continue to serve over the summer months. Your faithfulness is a gift to this community and we pray that you experience the peace and rest of Christ even as you continue to minister and serve our congregation.

Despite the break in our meeting schedule there are still plenty of exciting things happening in our community. Of note, Ministry leaders and members of our board will gather together in August to discuss our plans for the Fall kickoff and the year ahead. Please pray that God would give each leader His vision for this church and that it would be a time of deep encouragement as we support each other in ministry. 
 
 
Respectfully submitted, 
Leanne Hooper
Church Board Secretary, 2015-2016






Passing of a Friend
It is with deep regrets that we pass on news of the passing of a former member of our Skyview family, Rick Janz. Please join us in our prayers for Rick's wife, Geri, and their daughters, Katie and Emily.  A memorial service will be held at 1:30 pm Foothills Alliance Church tomorrow, Saturday, July 30th. 









 
Family Camp - July 31 - August 7
Camp Harmattan (between Olds & Sundre)
Our church denominational annual Family Camp starts today! Many from our church attend for the full week of community spiritual growth, times of worship, activities for all ages, and a great camping experience. Can't make the whole week, why don't you go up for a day, visit with people and take in the services? 
 
Here are a few ways to get involved:
  • Saturday July 30: pre-camp Slo Pitch Tournament. Come out and cheer on our Skyview team led by Bob Straiton. 
  • Monday August 1: Shirley & Merle Ewing are hosting a Skyview potluck lunch for anyone to drop by their Site G3. Hot dogs & hamburgers provided.
  • Daily: morning worship at 10:00am with Doug Hardy; evening service at 7:00pm with Stan Toler



 
 





Our Children's Ministry is greatly enjoying their ongoing weekly summer VBS program!    

All children ages 3-grade 6 are welcome!  Join us as our children learn about Gratefulness, Forgiveness, Confidence, Patience, Honestly, Contentedness, Generosity, and Obedience through stories, games, crafts, and more!   

We still have room for volunteers to get involved!  If you'd like to tell a story, bring a snack, or just help out please speak to Melaina Graham or Carol Henderson! 

Please note that our nursery will continue to run as usual through the summer! 



Skyview Stories
Skyview stories will continue on August 7th.  This is an opportunity for us to share with one another what God is doing in our lives. On the first Sunday of each month there will be space during the service for people to come up and speak of what God has been teaching them, to tell of something they are grateful for, to offer an encouraging word, or to speak of where they have seen God lately. We all have stories to share, and we help to build up the church when we share them!  Please consider sharing yours.
