Weekly Letter from Ron & Mary Kernohan

August 21, 2026

GREETINGS TO ALL!

Flowers are blooming, so summer is still here, weird weather, but still a wonderful place to live!  Let’s all be grateful for the earth God has given us. 

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.  

==================

WEEKLY and UPCOMING ACTIVITIES

DISCOVERY CLASS will be on Sunday at 9:30 am in the church gym.

FITNESS WITH FRIENDS is scheduled to resume in early September. One of the best ways to enjoy Fitness with Friends is to bring a friend, and learn some of the skills of creating a functional fitness lifestyle together.

Remember that Fitness with Friends will not be held if there are weather advisories in effect…and in Calgary, there can be all kinds of interesting weather challenges! So, in the event of such advisories, please stay home and enjoy your at-home workouts. (Some of you … know… what to do!)  : - )

Fitness with Friends will not be held if:

1) If there is a weather advisory in effect, or

2) If the temperature falls to, or goes below, -20C (and some long-time Calgarians can tell you some weather stories to curl your hair!)

For either of these two conditions, please stay home and enjoy your at-home workouts.

PICKLEBALL is held on Thursdays starting at 9:00 am, and all ages are welcome.

WOMEN’S PRAYER AND SHARE will continue on September 2 at 10:00 am.  Women of all ages are welcome.  Babysitting provided.

==================

The next ENCORE will be September 9th at noon. Cost is $15.00 for a delicious hot lunch.  

The speaker will be Jutta Whitmeier of Mainsprings– a non-profit that helps Pregnant women and their children.

==================

Meditation

Ecclesiastes 7:7-10 

Extortion turns a wise person into a fool

and a bribe corrupts the heart.

 The end of a matter is better than the beginning,

And patience is better than pride.

Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit,

For anger resides in the lap of fools.

Do not say “Why were the old days better than these?”

For it is not wise to ask such questions.

We often comment about ‘the current times’ being difficult.  But it is nothing new!  Times were often tough through all the ages, and in many parts of the world.  God has prevailed in the darkest times, and will continue to do so until the end of times!

Ron Kernohan, pastor of seniors.
