It has been our pleasure to offer Sunday worship services online so everyone can continue to worship together in the way that they decide, for themselves, is the best & safest. We’re glad that many of you are using this option. We still have our building to maintain, however! For those not aware, it became necessary to replace one of our furnaces earlier this year - an unanticipated expense for us, after a year of decreased offerings due to the time we spent closed. ... If you would like to make a contribution to help offset the cost of the new furnace, we would gratefully accept any donation you are able to make. Donations can be mailed to: Box 626 Kerrobert SK S0L 1R0 Donation by E-transfer: [email protected] **if e-transferring, please include your mailing address in the message so we can issue you a donation receipt** We thank you for your continued support, and will see you Sunday morning!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Editor's Note: I received the following Letter to the Editor from the Jasper Centre in Maple Creek. It is regards to a proposed Anti-Mask R...ally that has been slated to happen this Saturday (April 24). I thought it was important to share here, as in reality, it can happen in any of our communities. There has been an upswing in Covid cases in both the southwest and the west central areas of the province. Now may not be the best time to be hosting another mass gathering. - Kate In light of a proposed anti-mask event in the community, the Board of Directors of the Jasper Centre has passed a motion stating their stand in support of public health measures to protect the community during this pandemic. As an educational institution, the Jasper Centre has striven to promote higher learning and discussion not only as it relates to arts and heritage, but also the larger issues facing our society. Through our exhibitions and programmes, we have discussed issues relating to racism, women’s history, LGBTQ2 issues, immigration, environment, labour, Indigenous Peoples etc. Therefore, as a lead player in social justice, we strongly support the public health measures that have been put into effect to protect the citizens and we strongly discourage any attempt to undermine these measures. The Jasper Centre has been directly affected as a result of individuals/groups defying the Public Health orders and the subsequent rise in covid numbers. We have lost many thousands of dollars worth of revenue through admissions and programming, fundraising and special event initiatives, as well as the virtual closure of the exhibition schedule and public programmes. We are at times simply operating an empty building between public health orders based on covid numbers. We know what it takes to defeat this virus, so let’s all start to adhere to public health guidelines and work our way out of this disaster. As a Centre of learning, we do not tolerate the spread of misinformation that is destructive to our community and the institutions that operate within and trust the authorities will act accordingly when faced with defiance. We cannot afford another super spreader event as we have just witnessed. Donny White Chair of the Board Jasper Cultural & Historical Centre Maple Creek, Sask.

OPENING HYMN Voices United #173 - Thine is the Glory CONFESSION All: O God, we confess The things we try to hide from you, The things we try to hide from others, The things we try to hide from ourselves. We confess The heartbreak, worry, and sorrow we have caused, and that makes it hard for others to forgive us; The times we have made it easy for others to go wrong; The harm we have done, and cannot undo, and that make it hard for us to forgive ourselves. Lord have mercy and forgive us. Amen. WORDS OF ASSURANCE One: Here is good news for you: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. If we confess our sins, God is just, and may be trusted to forgive our sins and cleanse us from every kind of wrong. So it is that you may be assured that your sins are forgiven.
