Welcome To Virtual Camp Meeting 2020
President’s Message
“Reflecting the Shepherd”
Dear members and friends of the Alberta Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church,
Welcome to Camp Meeting 2020 – our very first Virtual Camp Meeting.
Alberta has been in the midst of a global Pandemic for the last several months. This has resulted in a lot of change in our lives.
- Many people have become unemployed.
- Many others have been working from home.
- Children have gone online in receiving their education.
- Churches have been forced to close.
- Social Isolation, just to mention a few.
Churches have responded to this by using technology to allow for the continuation of ministry.
- Weekly Church services
- Weekly Prayer Meetings
- Board meetings
- Bible Studies
- Sabbath School services etc.
In keeping with this trend, the Alberta Conference would like to offer Camp Meeting Online. Many of the usual speaking times and activities will be maintained.
Our theme for this Camp Meeting is “Reflecting the Shepherd”. As we look to the life of Jesus, it is our hope that we will reflect his example in our own lives.
Please plan to join us, as we share in virtual Camp Meeting 2020. Looking forward to having you there.
Pastor Gary Hodder
President of the Alberta Conference
