hen was the last time you read a book or substantial magazine article? Have you ever read an amazing write-up lately? Have you encountered an engaging composition? If you’d ask me, I’d say, “Yes, not too long ago.” If you’re one of those people who don’t make time to read Alberta Adventist News magazine and weekly eNews, you are missing out! Amazingly enough, I didn’t know about the weekly eNews and Alberta Adventist News magazine until I started working at the Alberta Conference. I realized how much I was missing out on tremendous programs, ideas, activities, pieces of information, spiritual lessons, and even opportunities. As I started reading the weekly eNews and browsing every page of the Alberta Adventist News magazine issues this year, I immersed myself in every fine detail of each issue. I basked in the contents of the features and related to some of the published testimonies and stories.

Indeed, they are worth reading — something you wouldn’t want to miss. There is also an opportunity to collaborate with the articles if you have a testimony you want to share with the community. Also, there are cool things about eNews. If you subscribe, you'll experience the famous line, "Up Close and Personal." That is a proven hypothesis when I convinced my husband to subscribe. He noticed that eNews is sent on a personalized basis, using his first name, Ritchie. Even our kids, London and
Chloe, are now aware of these publications. They are thrilled to see the entries; they also find the compositions interesting. London and Chloe are fascinated with the colourful graphic design. We share with them the publication any time we receive one, and they started collecting them. Get your Alberta Adventist News magazine and subscribe to the weekly eNews. You’ll be surprised at how much more delighted you are about reading the next one. — Submitted by Nanette Bathan-Quines
