MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
REFLECTING THE SHEPHERD Dear Members and Friends of the Alberta Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Welcome to Camp Meeting 2020 — our very first Virtual Camp Meeting. Alberta has been in the midst of a global Pandemic for the last several months. This has resulted in a lot of change in our lives. Many people have become unemployed. Many others have been working from home. Children have gone online in receiving their education. Churches have been forced to close. Social Isolation… just to mention a few. Churches have responded to this by using technology to allow for the continuation of ministries such as:

Weekly Church services Weekly Prayer Meetings Board Meetings Bible Studies Sabbath School services etc.
In keeping with this trend, the Alberta Conference would like to offer Camp Meeting Online. Many of the usual speaking times and activities will be maintained. Our theme for this Camp Meeting is “Reflecting the Shepherd.” As we look to the life of Jesus, it is our hope that we will reflect His example in our own lives. Please plan to join us as we share in Virtual Camp Meeting 2020 — looking forward to having you there.

Today, Pastor Williams is the Vice President of Administration/Executive Secretary of the Alberta Conference of Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Reflecting the Shepherd Jesus is the Good Shepherd (John 10:11, 14). The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep (John 10:11). He is selfless. When we truly reflect the Good Shepherd, we also will be selfless, concerned for the salvation and welfare of others, above our own. During our Virtual Camp Meeting, you are invited to join together for an hour each day to dwell in His presence. We will take a moment to identify and reflect on aspects of who the Shepherd is so that we will know what it is to reflect HimThen we will pray together in a live online meeting.
