ANNOUNCEMENTS
Stage 3: Easing of COVID-19 Restrictions
As we anticipate Stage 3* reopening on July 1, 2021 within our province, many of the protocols and procedures we have been following this past year will no longer be required. Imagine gathering once again to worship and be in the presence of our Lord without having to mask-up, socially distance, register, and take your temperature! If all goes according to plan, we can return to life, or a version of the life we once knew pre-COVID. However, just because we are edging toward a Stage 3 reopening, does not mean that respect and care for one another is not at the forefront. Remember that everyone has their own personal comfort levels, so before you hug someone or shake their hand, ask if he or she is comfortable doing so. Please be mindful of others' personal space and proximity, and honour someone's desire to wear a mask and physically distance.
If you decide that you would like to return to church in-person, please only do so if you feel comfortable and ready.
Online services will continue to be offered on Saturday at 7 pm and on Sunday at 10 am. All messages are also available on demand.
Kids Ministry programming is available Sunday at 10 am only. Nursery (0-23 months) will be available Saturday's, starting July 10 at 7 pm. July 11 at 10 am will include Nursery - Grade 6. See Welcome Back Families for more information.
* Sherwood Park Alliance Church will continue to follow the latest government authority COVID-19 protocols and guidelines. If required, a stage may be paused to respond to the direction given at regional or provincial levels.

Child Dedication
Interested in Dedicating your Child at our Church?
There is no manual for raising kids, but God has given us something far better - the Holy Spirit, and community. Child Dedication is a way to acknowledge our dependence on the leadership and guidance of the Holy Spirit as we do our best to be an example and lead our children into a relationship with Jesus. Child Dedication will be held on the weekend of July 24 & 24. Please register by July 13.
Young Adults (18-25 yrs.)
Our Young Adult ministries exists to grow in relationship with each other, thrive in community together, and grow in our relationship with Jesus. We believe that Jesus has called us out of isolation and into a journey with Him and those around us. We strive to be a place where every young adult feels known and loved, and where authenticity and vulnerability help us to walk alongside each other no matter the circumstance.
Join us on Thursday evenings at 7 pm starting July 8.
We will gather in the back field at the church for a time of community and chill hang outs.
