                              November Synod Youth Event T-Shirts Presented at Ponder Anew 

Bishop Larry presented t-shirts to three Synod members who attended Ponder Anew events in October:  to Pastor Jeff Decelle (Unity, Medicine Hat), whose sons look forward to getting their own t-shirts at the Synod Youth Event, November 25-27,  to Miriam W. (Church of the Master, Airdrie) , who will be old enough to attend next year’s event (can you tell she can’t wait?)  and to Una Larsen (Good Shepherd, Red Deer), Pastor Dave’s mom, who might go to the event now that she has a t-shirt!

Recipients of t-shirts at the events November 4-6 in Camrose, Edmonton, and Grande Prairie:

Shae Belanger (Scandia, Armena),  Rev. Dave Friesen (Calvary, La Glace and St. John, Woking), Rev. Richard Reimer (LCM Edmonton)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Thank you to all who attended the Ponder Anew events across the Synod.  Bishop Larry and Treasurer Paul Ellison had an adventure trying to fly to the Grande Prairie event:  due to IT problems with WestJet, they spent over 12 hours in the Calgary airport and never did make it to Grande Prairie.

If you missed these events, it is not too late to sign up for the online event.  Registration is available here.  A recorded version of the presentations made at the Ponder Anew events will be available on the synod website at a later date.
