Dedication Service - April 20

Approximately 340 people came out for the Dedication Service on Sunday, April 20th.  The weather was less than ideal but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd.  However, the procession did not start outside as planned.

The sanctuary was full.

Pr. Roger Haugen, assistant to Bishop Cindy Halmarson, brought greetings from the Bishop and the Saskatchewan Synod.

Cindi Akre, Pres. of LCBI,  brought greetings.

Glen Erlandson represented Faith Parish which includes Our Saviour's, Green Valley and Saskatchewan River churches.

Pr. Barry Friesen of the United Church, brought greetings on behalf of the Outlook Ministerial.

The Town of Outlook was represented by Mayor Bob Stephenson.

Tony Peter, Chairman of the building committee, thanked all the people who made this church a reality.

Rick Stalwick, Project manager, Bob Glaspy, Site manager and Obert Friggstad, architect, were given special recognition for their special efforts.

Garth Weiterman, chairman of Bethlehem Lutheran Church Council, chaired the program.

Coffee and Fellowship Time was enjoyed by all!

Just a reminder that our Dedication Service is this Sunday, April 20, at 2:30 pm.  The service will start outside, weather permitting.  Handicapped people will be permitted to be seated earlier if they are not able to stand outside for a short time.  Coffee and Fellowship will follow.

Some Final Activities at the Old Church

We have moved into the new church but a few activities were still held at the old church. On March 11, approximately 17 ladies and 4 LCBI students gathered to sew layette items and pack them in boxes.

We work hard so certainly enjoy our coffee breaks. Here we stop for morning coffee. We had to sit around the table for coffee as the youth room was empty of furniture. (At least it isn't hard to get out of THESE chairs!)

Lila concentrates on getting that placket just right!

The Button Brigade! Catherine, Mary, Isabel and Doreen work hard to sew buttons on nightgowns and shirts.

Darlene mans the sewing machine while Ruby and Mary sew on buttons.

Byrdie sews on buttons while Carol and Sandra cut out gowns and blankets.

Carrie and Leslie are pros at sewing!

LCBI students Nicole and Ashalee pack layettes into the boxes Lowell gathered from Riverbend Coop and Ag Food.

LCBI students, Ashalee and Desi try to fit one more quilt into the box.

Tony, Ron and Elaine tote guns! (Tape guns that is)

Once the boxes are taped, Lila and Lorne add the labels.

Elaine just had to have a ride in the elevator so volunteered to help take the packed boxes upstairs!


On March 15, the Mortgage Reduction Committee organized a bake sale. We raised over $1300 from the sale so the workers will be happy about that!

The tables were full of delicious baking to choose from!

It's always good to sit around and talk at a Tea and Bake Sale.

Kirsti, Mari and Leslie are ready to take your Money!

The beautifully decorated tables made it easier to enjoy the occasion!
