Our sympathy to the families of those who have lost loved ones in recent days including some from our own congregation:

Our faith family extend sympathy to Marilyn Kish, on the passing of her husband, Dirk Alting on December 18.

We also wish to extend our sympathy to Danny and Phyllis Duncan.  Danny Duncan’s brother, Richard Duncan, passed away on Christmas morning as a result of COVID complications and his previous medical conditions. He was 73 and was a resident of the Salam Manor in Leduc, Alberta. Danny and Phyllis Duncan wish to thank our church family for reaching out to them at this difficult time.
