Extraordinary Nobodies

Hello friends!

Well, it’s hard to believe, but here we are. After almost 14 years, I will drive out of the lot after the service Sunday morning, officially ending my run here at SPAC.
While I am greatly looking forward to the new challenges and learning a change in role will provide, we are grieving the loss of many meaningful relationships. We have made the best friends of our entire lives here and deeply love you, our church family.
While there are many things I would like to say, mostly it’s thank you. Thank you for being a place I could learn, grow and have an impact. Thanks for loving us well through the years; serving with you has been one of the greatest joys of my life. 
I want to acknowledge my staff teammates I have served with over the years. I’ve had a blast, and it’s been a privilege to watch you use your gifts so beautifully. A huge thanks to Greg, who took a risk on me all those years ago and has cheered me on while also challenging me toward growth.
Speaking of my teammates, a HUGE congrats to Pastor Heather and Pastor T-mo! They both passed their licensing interviews this week and are officially Pastors! It’s a significant step in serving in vocational ministry with The Alliance Canada, and I’m thrilled to continue cheering them on. 
I hope to see many of you this weekend as I get to kick off our new series, Extraordinary Nobodies.

Love, Jeremy

Farewell to Pastor Jeremy

As we announced about a month ago, Jeremy Cook will soon finish his time here at SPAC to take on a new ministry assignment. He will be the new Assistant District Superintendent of the Canadian Midwest District of The Alliance Canada.
Join us this weekend, June 24 & 25, as we pray for and say farewell to Jeremy and his family. Plan to stay after the services to connect with Jeremy and Heather in the South Atrium.
If you join us on Saturday Night, ice cream treats will be served after the service! You don't want to miss out!

Love Offering

We have a tradition at Sherwood Park Alliance Church of blessing departing or retiring pastors with a financial gift. We want to honour Pastor Jeremy in this same tradition as he and his family move east to Saskatchewan and begin this new role. If you would like to contribute, you can give to the Love Offering online. You can also give at the giving kiosks in the South atrium - please write Jeremy's name on the receipt. This giving option will be available until July 2nd.
