Safety Checker Program Just as reminder about the importance of the “I’m Safe” Cards:

The purpose of these cards is to ensure the safety and well being of our tenants, i.e. should they fall and not be able to get to the phone or door. We strongly recommend full participation in this program as we know for certain it has been something that has benefited several people over the years. This program is voluntary, and if you choose to participate, we require you to sign a waiver.

This program is a back up only and families should always remain the first check.

If you or your families have any questions about this program, please contact Eva Klassen, Tenant Resource Coordinator at 204-326-2547.

Ron Babel will be hosting a special communion service.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

From the Chaplain’s Desk

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:18-‐19)

Another year has passed and another new year begins. We enter every new year, leaving behind a year, full of memorable events and looking forward with certain expectations to a year yet to be lived and experienced. The Bible tells us, "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old." But there are events and people we want to remember, events and people that became dear to us, they became a part of who we are. And so, we journey on, looking back and anticipating what lies ahead.

Scriptures promise us new things and inspire us to observe. “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” What a wonderful encouragement for the new year; so full of excitement and mystery. It almost feels like Advent.

So, what are you looking forward to in 2019? Is it a big birthday? Or a wedding anniversary? Maybe the birth of a new great-‐grandchild will be announced, or you plan to move to a new place. Whatever the new thing will be, as Christians, we have the assurance that everything good gift comes from above.

However, for some of us, the new year might begin just like the old year ended, with grief and sorrow. For all of you, the Lord has a promise too. “I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” May these words be an encouragement to you and may you find rest for your soul in His presence.

May the new year help you leave behind that which is too heavy to bear and may your path be lined with beautiful memories. May the new year bring the good news of "a new thing," and may it bring refreshment for those who find themselves experiencing a wilderness of life. For everything, there is a season, and for every season there is a promise.

Ron Babel, Chaplain
