FIRST CHURCH NEWS
We continue to pray for George vandenBrink. as he
continues dialysis as well as beginning some new
treatment as well. May God grant him strength and
peace.
We pray alongside the Tensen family, as Winnie went in
the hospital for tests this week. She remains in hospital at
this time. May the peace that passes our understanding
be with the family, as they continue to rely upon God.
We are asked to remember Martha Torre, Pastor Josh’s
sister, as she underwent a Caesarian Section on
Thursday. We pray for healing and for patience for
Dominic, her husband and daughter Mayela as they

FIRST CHURCH EVENTS AND NEWS
“Safe Church Policy” News: Council has decided that in order to move forward with a Safe Church Policy, criminal
record checks will be required from all volunteers 18 years and over who are involved in any children’s ministry of First
CRC Red Deer. The goal is to have every VBS volunteer have 100% compliance for this July. The compliance goal for
volunteers in JamTime, Cadets, Gems and Nursery Staff, is September 2015. If you are involved in any of the above
mentioned ministries please come to the Kiosk and pick up a Volunteer Application Form that will exempt you from the
app fee. There is generally a three - six week waiting period depending on the time of year. When you receive your crim
check you will keep the original but we will request a copy for our records.
If you require more information or have concerns please contact any member of the First Safe Church Policy Committee
(Josh Friend, Tyler Westera, Lena Drok, Jeanette Schalk, Sharon Stange or Jane Sanguin)
Wine & Roses: meets April 15, at 10:00am. We will have a work shop on Memory and Aging. It will explain how
memory works and changes that occur with aging, tips on how to maintain and improve memory and advise when to
seek professional help.
MUSIC NOTES
Thine is the Glory - The text to this Easter hymn, originally in French, "A toi la gloire" (To Thee the Glory) was first
published in 1884 in Switzerland. This was the favorite hymn at the 1948 assembly of the World Council of Churches in
Amsterdam. The translator, Edmond Budry 1854-1932, was born in Vevey, Switzerland, and educated at Lausanne to
be a minister of the National Reformed Church. He wrote many original hymns and translated many texts. Over 60 of his
hymns were used in French hymnals.
