People known to have the virus were asked for permission and offered a parcel and permission was requested to deliver it. They gladly accepted it. No one refused so far." offered a parcel and permission was requested to deliver it to them. They gladly accepted our offer and no one has refused so far. The parcel included a short letter by Dr. Lady Jane Padilla, who represented the Okotoks Church, offering help in facing the current uncertainties and fears. She offered suggestions to have confidence in facing the unseen enemy by using the principles of the NEWSTART health program that have shown to be immune-enhancing. At prayer meeting, we have been studying Last Day Events by Sister Ellen White. Brothers and sisters, we are so close to Jesus' coming. Let us remember that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof” (Psalm 46:1–3, KJV). May God be with us all. — Submitted by Ria Schurig, Communication Director Okotoks Seventh-day Adventist Church
Honk if you're happy! H
Inspiring kids Diego and Daysha Diaz, Lily Kristian.
oping to lift up the mood and spark some positivity during this trying time, several kids tried out an idea they had seen online. Standing by one of the main roads in Red Deer with balloons and a poster that read "Honk if you are Happy," they aimed to get at least 1,000 honks and in a couple of days, they reached their goal! Positivity and hope are contagious. We will never know how many of those drivers were having a bad day but honked anyway to not let the kids down, and by doing so, they also experienced some joy and happiness. — Submitted by Janeth L.
