Smoky Lake Church Dedication

The Smoky Lake Church held a dedication and open house on Sa bbath, September 13, l9ijo to mark the beginning of an official church.

Elder Herb Larsen, Presi­dent of troe AI berta Confer­ence, had the worship service In the morning, and In the afternoon he led out In the organIzation of the church. A happy congregat ion lined up to sign as charter members In the record book, and the church officers were offi­cially Installed. The Smoky Lake Church was accepted Into the sisterhood of SDA church­es.

El der Jim Wilson, Presi­dent of Canadian Union Con­terence, brought the dedica­tion messaage.

There was no church In the area when Conrad and Esther Hackenberg moved to the Smoky

Lake district but gradually more members moved Into the area. Initially they met in each other's homes, and then In 1978 the group rented the Warsplte United Church. However, the building was too small. In 1979 Bill Kry­sowaty and hIs wf fe donated 3.3 acres of land due east of Smoky Lake.

Pastor Dave Friesen was the cornerstone of the church building project. His broth­er, John Fr-Iesen, a carpen­ter, was hI red to show the volunteers how to bui I d. He I lved In a trailer on the sIt e. "After the hoI e tor the foundation was dug, we knelt down and dedicated the work and the building to God, and it was beaut I tul ," Pas­tor Friesen said.

SEPTEMBER- OCTOBER, 1986

Red Deer Church Official Opening

Sabbath, October 4, 1986 was a high day for the Ked Deer SDA Church, the culmi­nation of many hours of hard work, many fervent prayers and considerable financial sacrifice. The celebration 'ltas two-fold: the official opening of the new church and the 60th annIversary of the Seventh-day Adventist Church In the Red Deer community.

The day commenced wIth Sabbath School ·. A specla I audlo-vlsua I feature deplet­Ing the history of the Red Deer Church gave us an oppor­tunity to reminisce about the past progress of our church In the Red Deer communIty.

Pastor Henry Bartsch con­ducted a well-prepared lesson study on tota I commitment of ourselves to our God.

An Inspiring message tor the worship service, "Praise and Halleluiah," was brought to us by Pastor Herb larsen, our president of the Alberta Conference. After this encouraging message, everyone gathered together at the Red Deer Aaventlst Academy for a scrumptious vegetarian lunch­eon buffet.

In the afternoon the "r lbbon-cuttl ng" was by the Red Ueer mayor, Bog r~cGhee,

wh lie some 550-600 members and guests looked on with exuberant joy.

Dr. larry Shlpo~t lck pre­sented a very I nterestl ng history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church which was formerly organized In 192b with a membership of 17. In 1942 near the Burnt Lake District School a house of worship was built where a few more members gathered, and In 1962 a new church was bu II t in the downtown area of Red Deer.

This festive afternoon

event proceeded on wIth encouraging speeches by poli­ticians and d lgn I tar les including Mayor Bob McGhee, Gordon Towers, MP, Nigel Pengelly, MlA, Stockwell Day, MLA, and John Oldrlng, MlA. Pastors Gary DeBoer, Treasurer of the SDA Church In Canada, and Herb larsen, Presiden-t of Alberta Confer­ence, gave us encouraging speeches to continue shIn lng as the lighthouse of the city of Red Deer and communIty. The closing prayer was by Pastor les Sayler under whose leadership the project was Initiated.

The congregation was a I so enriched with meditation In music by the Red Deer Advent­Ist Academy Choir and many other peop I e.

Special acknowledgement was made to Dr. Ken Hubbard, Financial aoard Chairman, and Bob Gudwer of Shanna Develop­ments, contractor of the church building.

The Red Deer Church mem­bersh lp has taken rea I strides the past fe'll years. At the end of 1977 the church membership stood at 95, 1979 at 130, 1981 at 170, 1983 at 232, and at the end of 1985 It was 252 members. The ne'lt church seats 450, and If the yro'ltth rate continues the ne.., church w I I I be f I lied to capacity In a relatively short time.

Pastor lan Cotton, 'ltho took over the ministerial duties of the Red Deer Church 13 months ago, and the members of the Red Deer Church will al..,ays have special memories of this Sabbath day and a II the praise, honor and glory Is gl ven to God 'ltho has led In the past and wIll continue to lead In the future.

Summer Graduation at cue

Twenty-four stuoents par­ttctpateo tn t~e summer grad­uation at Canadtan Un t on College on August 7, 1986.

Twe I ve students, w fth rnajors In pre - mlnlstry, elementary educatton, second­ary education, and behavioral scfence, recetveo bachelor ' s degrees. Two students earned associate degrees In otftce admtnfstratton . Two stu­dents, who naa previously completed bache lor's degrees at other tnst}tutfons, were awarded SOA teacher cert H t­catlon. Eight stuoents re­ceived master of arts degrees through Loma Linda Univer­sity.

Donna Cunningham of Prince George, BC was awarded a pafr ot go\d cords In recognltlon of her high acaoemtc achieve­ment.

Pastor Koy Oubyna of ~I seker gave the commence­ment address. He chaJ I enged the graduates to "watch your words, watch your work, and watch and pray."

The graduates chose a browsing rack tor the library as their class glft. Joan Fortney of Col lege Heights made the presentation to Keith Clouten, head librar­Ian.

The Class of '86, which Includes the 29 students who graduated In April, Is the largest In the history of cue.

The summer school program has contributed significantly to the Increase In graduates. Reo Ganson, VIce-president tor Academic Affairs, prompted expansion of the program when he was named summer school coordinator In 1980. By 1983, a full slate of courses was being offered.

ThIs summer, 24 teachers conducted 41 undergraduate classes. Courses were offered In art, biology, business, computer science, education, English, history, mathematics, nursing, ottlce administration, physical education, psychology, reli­gion, and sociology. Almost halt were upper division classes, mostly In education and related areas. The larg­est class contained lb stu­dents.

Student enrollment, which stood at 67 In 1983, has Increased along with course otter I ngs. ThIs summer, 108 students reg lstered. The proportion of eastern and

western students has remained fairly constant , wi th greater numbe r s predlctao ly coming from the western provinces.

"In 1980 we took a look at what the needs were and decided to start offering summer school c l asses," Ganson says. "Looking at the number of students here tnls summer, It obviously has paid ott."

Students a I so say that their tlma spent at cue has been profi table. Jennifer Campbe l l of Williams Lake, SC, says, "After completing my degree, I now feel better about my position. I have the security of protesslonal-1 sm. " tlllhen asked It she would use what she learned In her c\asses, she states,

· "Yes, very definitely." des I des the c I asses, stu­

dents point to other aspects of the program that they appreciate.

"The CUC program I s open to teachers who are currently teachIng," Camp be II says. Classes are taught In tour three-week sessions, begln­n I n g I n May. Em p I o y e d teachers are able to attend the third and fourth sessions and still have some tree time lett at the end of the summer. AI'JIOst one-third of the students this summer were teachers who returned to school to complete degrees or upgrade their skills.

This Is seen as an added benet It for other students. "I could learn from class­mates who are experienced teachers," says Trudy Fairhurst of Grand­forks, BC.

Many students noted the attitude of the faculty. Jean Haggkvlst ot College HeIghts says, "The tacu I ty give students Individual attention and go out of their way to help. As a student, you matter; you're Important to them as a person."

"The faculty are so Chris­tian and caring, and that comes through In their deal­Ings with students," Cunning­ham says. "They treat each student as someone special."

With testimonies I Ike that, It 1 s obvIous that not

. only Is CUC meeting the academic needs of students. It's also tultllllng the purpose of ChrIst I an educa­tion.

The Hidden Wounds of A P.K.

Why? Why was I born? Why should I live? I seem to be more of a headache than a pleasure. I cause my parents to tear each other apart verbally - even It It Is over somethIng that 11 ve done at church, like agreeing to be Sabbath School pianist and youth leader. Then when both duties tall on the same day, large arguments ensue.

What Is the purpose of living? I can't be myself. After all, 11m an angel- 11m a P.K. (Preacher's Kid>. Make that a P.P.K. - perfect pastor's kid. It I do one thing "bad," the whole church Is In an uproar. I can't wear jewelry - not that 1 want to. I can 1t wear make­up, ana I must oe polite at all times. Even when some In the church can • t keep theIr big mouths shut. ~ut because I 1 m a P.K. 11m not allowed to tell them to start their hike to nell.

I also sutter the wounds ot my parents. They get

I ambasted oy "dear saints" (Hall who call at all hours of the day or nIght havIng some complaint or another. My parents have to take the blame tor everything that goes wrong In the church. But do they ever receive any credit when It Is their due? No!

Why do I even go to church? On I y to support my dad? I may not be perfect but at least I give him his creolt when It Is due, not II ke those In thIs church. And also tor my mom. She has to stay up until midnight working tor the church. ~ut she never gets paid or thanked she just has to I I sten to the end I ess phone ca I Is from the devils In sheep clothing. But what a bout my poor brother and sister? What do they do? What do they go through? The hIdden wounds there w II I never be tully realized by anyone.

What purpose Is there to

lite? Why should stay around any longer after all, what can I do? 11m only a P.K. tied to a role I never pI eked and can never escape from. Why live? tlut I just can't end It all and give "them" the victory.

I have to stay around. After al l , I belong to the church and can't do anything without their permission (when I say the church, I don 1 t mean the conference or my school teachers or my tamllyl - 1 mean this parti­cular church.

No one will ever know what I've gone through or will go through. But then, who cares? All anyone will think Is that 11m feeling sorry tor myself and am a cry baby. Perhaps I am, but what d It­terence does It make to any­body - apart from a few close friends. After all, being a P.K. you aren't allowed to favour certain church members over others. 11 m a P.K.

Lay Bible Ministry Seminar Held How many ministers are

there In the A I berta Con ter­ence ? No doubt many people woul d answer approx i mately 40; however, at our Lay Bible Ministry Sem lnar(LBIIo\ ) It was emphasize d that there are about 7,000 min ister s In the conference. Not a II these 7,000 are supported by tithe funds, of course, but t~e di d learn that every member Is a minister. Elder Russell Burrill challenged the ap­proximately 125 pastors and l ay people In attendance to Involve everyone In the church In some form of minis­try.

' -~-' ·;

The d is tinctions tha t exist today between clergy and laity was not evident In the early church. The con­cept of pay log clergy to do the work of ministry was an erroneous practice that came Into the church years after the apostles died. Today we need to restore the mini stry to every member wIth the pastor functioning as a coach, coordinator and leader of the ministers In h is charge.

Some of t he first Lay Bible Ministers to receive c rede ntials in our conference: Jerry French, Leduc ; Ern ie Smith, Lacombe; Wyonna and Gerhardt Hertwig, Edmonton; and Donna Atkins, Sylvan Lake.

Paul Courdray also to ld us t~ay s that the literature work can be used In mobiliz ing people for God's work.

Alberta Family Life C.ommittee Report

A few months ago Arni Skoretz and Or. Lei~hton Nischuk of the Alberta Family Lite Committee made the fol­lowing presentation and recommendatIons to our Con­terence Executive Committee.

God Instituted and created the family. It is the focus and nuc I eus of the universe and part I cuI ar I y the church. More Important, however, Is that God Instituted the fam­Ily as the primary provision tor the Intimate relation­ships for which the human heart yearns. The tam II y Is as o I d as Eden but we nave all witnessed the deterior­ation of the family unit w I tn In our socIety more and more each year.

Scripture abounds with teachIng concernIng the tam-1 ly. Ellen White writes prolifically on the subject of family unity, family ministry and tami ly evangel­Ism.

"Christ's method alone wi II give true success in reaching the people. The Saviour mingled with men as one who des I red theIr good. He snowed His sympathy tor them, ministered to their needs and won their confi­dence. Then He bade them 'follow Mel" Mti 1.

A new theme focusing through the recent SDA liter­ature is around the "The Caring Church." How timely! Our evangelIstic thrust should prlmar II y tocus on qua II ty care rather than on quantity care. .People are Interested In coming to and staying wltn a church that is concerned about and provIdes help and care w I tn the basic issues and needs In I I te of which Christ should be that primary focus. It appears from our discussions that our churches do not take this "caring" as serlolusly as the need Indicates. If so, often only so peripherally.

There are tour reasons why family Lite Ministry Is a must:

I • F AM IllES ARE IN TROUBlE families in general

Including AdventIst tami I ies are oeseiged with serious

problems. Such problems include: attitudes towards marriage, remarriage and blended families, f amily violence, parenting inade­quacy, escalating divorce rates, one-parent families , poor self-esteem, substance abuse, delinquency, etc.

from the needs survey presently underway throughout our churches in Alberta , the results are disheartening. We tru I y have neg I ec ted the foundation of the church-­people--at the expense of other concerns. Our priority must be to begin to take concern and deal with this Issue head on immediately.

2. THE FAMILY NEEDS ~lURE MD INSlRUCTION

"The challenge facing the church Is to nurture its members, presenting I:Hbllcal concepts of marriage, parent­ing ana family ljving.

Alberta Family Ute recommends that every cnurch wl tnin the Alberta Conference consider as its prImary em­phasis the development of loca l family Lite committees. These comm i ttees wou I d dea I with ~he caring and nurturing o f the church members and another tool in outreach. The commIttee members wou I d ass1st in the educational (prevention model and lhe support ( t Irs t I eve I of the intervention mode) but would not provide the therapeutic I ntervention (treatment mode l . They would be trained to understand the limitations of treatment tor themse I ves and leave It to those profes­sionally trained and qual i­t i ed. Education and support is the primary purpose of the local family Lite committees.

3. THE FAMILY SYSTEM REQUIRES A PARTIQJLAR Klfl) Of MINISTRY

The church recognizes the need tor ministry to families as a whole. In­cluded are: Ministry to the Married; Ministry to the Singles; Ministry to the Youth and Ministry to the Children.

Alberta family Lite recog­nizes the unique needs of the

fami I y as a "system" and seeks to provIde the Inter­act I on and support that the family units, as they may be, requ i re.

4. FAMILY LifE MINISTRY IS TANGIBLE EY IDENCE Of A CAR lf«i OiURCH

With the PKIMARY focus and PRIOKITIES dealing with f amily i te issues , th is will assist in revltal I z i ng the churcn and In helping the church maintain i ts goals to GROW sp i r I tua I I y and phys i­cally. As the church reaches out to strengthen its ele­mental components, lnd l vi­dua Is and fami I ies, it is i tself strengthened.

This Is the framework that the Alberta Family Li f e focuses upon. The obJeCtives and strategies become more specific with each goal and time.

We believe it's time tor tne church to recognize their role In a Caring and Nurtur-1 ng church. In order tor a church to evangelize outward, we need to recognize the r eality of what is happening wi thin our church. Ellen White states, "As workers tor God, our work is to oegin with those nearest. It Is to begin in our own home. There Is no more important mission­ary field than this." CG 476.

While we may agree witn the above statement, we must accept the reality that so many of our families are not traIned to be fami I les or trained to be parents or are traIned to understand how to deal with low self-esteem and a II the other serious prob­lems they face daily. The State feels that It is the ro I e of the church to teach such items to the community. If the State feels that it is the church's role, then what Is the church doing?

The evIdence Is astound­! ng. I t we a I I pass the buck, nothing tangible is accomp I I shed.

Please help us as we develop this very Important ministry In the Alberta Con­terence.

The highlight ot this VBS was a little nature hike where the children got to study God's second book, nature. The program tor the parents was a treat tor the children, also, and there was a very pos itive response from the parenTs saying that they would most definite ly send tnelr chi l dren back again next year.

The Foothl I Is Chur ch members were ~ery happy and honored to nave another Vl:lS three weeks later 1n their

A special feature attract­Ing the cnildren (and parents alike!) was all the animals that were d I sp I ayed as part of the "Heaven Scene" in the toyer ot the church.

Everyone enjoyed t he bear, beaver , coyotes, ground squirrel, ana oaby skunks.

A mansion wtth Jesus in the doorway and a street of gold that led up to the pic­ture of the Holy City at the front ot the sanctuary added greatly to the total display.

Seventy-five children, ages 4-1L , baked bread at t ne same time one day, a unique experience tor the children.
