He Speaks Peace

Wanda J. Johnson, M.Sc., CCC
Marital & Family Therapist

We will explore the healing power of Jesus as “He Speaks Peace” and healing to hurting hearts. Discover tools for healing and discuss the differences between the needs of men and women, and how to meet those needs. By looking at Biblical examples of how the patriarchs gave a blessing and how those blessings empowered their children, we will also learn how we can give blessings to one another. When we learn how to give a blessing, it will dramatically change our lives and the lives of those we love.

The Fort McMurray church was pleased to welcome Noel Carriere (centre of photo) into membership by baptism and to bless Andrew Denton's (right in photo) decision to be re-baptized on June 6, 2009.

This comes as a result of another prophecy seminar. The Fort McMurray church has conducted nine prophecy seminars over the past 28 months with approximately 19 accessions and more baptisms being planned. There are also other seminar interests attending church each Sabbath. The church is beginning to reach capacity attendance and plans are in the works for renovations and expansion.

Praise the Lord for the Great Commission!

The Peers Seventh-day Adventist Company was pleased to have a display booth at the Yellowhead County Family Barbecue and trade show on June 13 2009. The event was held at the McLeod Valley Recreation Grounds.
Our church showcased a healthy lifestyle. We had many people stop by the booth to sample the Quinoa Salad and a Walnut Spread, all foods that are great for heart health.
We gave out two door prizes. Sarah Leach of the Yellowhead County won the cookbook and health DVD; Lindsay Kuilboer won the prize for children 10 years and under; she won two activity/story books.
We had a great crowd at the booth with lots of interest in the food sampling.
The Family Barbecue was a great event for our church to participate in and be visible in the community. We met many wonderful people and our bible workers Egbert and Keishauni George were able to link up with people interested in bible study.

Yellowknife Celebrates Four Baptisms


(April 4, 2009) 2009 is the Yellowknife church’s year of preparing for rain. As the farmer prepares the field and plants the seed in faith so they would prepare themselves, their ministries, and their plans and wait on God to bring the rain. On January 31, 2009 the Yellowknife Seventh-day Adventist Church reclaimed their baptismal tank. After sitting dormant for almost two years it had become a great place to store things. No longer. As the church members gathered around the tank they prayed for a blessing and they prayed their commitment to faithfully fill the tank the first Sabbath of each month. In faith, they knew that God would fill the tank with people who have fallen in love with Him. On April 4, God’s kingdom grew as the Yellowknife Seventh-day Adventist Church celebrated the baptism of four youth - Shenel Cruz, Tristha Cruz, Advent Cruz, and Terrence Abalos. Pastor Brad Dahr had the honour of baptizing Terrence but he invited ordained elder Noel Cruz to baptize his children. Shenel, Tristha, Advent, and Terrence were active participants during the Amazing Adventure children’s evangelism series led by members Sheila and Noel Cruz. It was a powerful moment when the four youth came out in baptismal robes and led the congregation in singing “The River.” All four youth are active in ministry, participating enthusiastically in Sabbath School class, during worship, and in our children’s ukulele band that visits the seniors center twice a month. Shenel and Tristha are crew leaders in the church’s VBS that starts June 29.
