Alberton Presbyterian Church
The Tranquility of the country on the edge of the City
Summer Worship Themes
Our worship service is at 9:30 am. From July 4th. to August 8th. we will explore some of the encounters and conversations that Jesus had with people in the course of his ministry. The ones that we will examine are all ones recorded by the Apostle John and illustrate the theme "The Challenges of Faith: Then and Now."
Guatemala Report
The Alberton Congregation has a personal interest in Guatemala. In recent years we have contributed financially to a church rebuilding program there and also two members of the Alberton congregation went to Guatemala to assist in the project. Consequently the people in Guatemala claim a special place in our prayers. In the past month new challenges have arisen for the people of Guatemala. The Pacaya Volcano near Guatemala City erupted on May 27th. covering large parts of the city and surrounding area in volcanic ash. Then the Tropical Storm Agatha touched down drenching the country in several days of almost non-stop rain. As a consequence of the rain several bridges were swept away or became nonfunctional, and most major highways were not passable because of numerous landslides. Reports of the damages created by the flooding and the accompanying high winds indicated that much of the maize crop had been destroyed and that there are likely to be consequent food shortages. Please keep the people of Guatemala in your prayers.
Paisan Had a Birthday
Our mascot Paisan just celebrated his first birthday (on April 14th.). So what does a handsome, smart dog want for his birthday? A cake , of course! Paisan's owners, Al and Sil, willingly obliged and, after due consultation with Paisan's vet, came up with the best doggone birthday cake ever. It was, of course, a white cake as dog's just can't have chocolate. Baked into the cake were special dried liver treats. Doesn't it just sound yummy! And the whole thing was topped off with Light Whip Cream (a much healthier choice than icing). Lest you think that we are making this all up then follow the Paisan link below for the Birthday photos.
Our claim to be the only church website in Canada to have its own mascot continues to go unchallenged.
Visitors are welcome!
Visitors are always welcome at Alberton Church. Whether you are a traveler passing through, an old friend dropping in to say hello, or someone from the community who is looking for a church home, we want you to feel welcome. Each weekly worship service concludes with an informal gathering for refreshments and casual conversation. We would love to have the opportunity to welcome you to one of these weekly gatherings.
