N is for Nutrition — eat right; E is for Exercise — get moving whether you feel like it or not; W is for Water — drink lots; S is for Sunshine — take time to let it into your life; T is for Temperance — avoid artificial stress relievers, i.e., coffee, alcohol, drugs, or sugar; A is for Air — breathe fresh, clean air; R is for Rest — take a Sabbath; T is for Trust — find a personal relationship with God and nurture your own spiritual development. If life has lost its meaning, let us recommend a “New Start”! Book of Jeremiah 30:17 says, “I will give you back your health and heal your wounds,” says the Lord. Your Health Ministry Team invites you to join us for our “Annual Health Sabbath” today, February 28. Darlene Blaney will be speaking at both worship services. ~ Your Health Ministry Team

SHARE YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT Have something to share with our church family? We welcome announcements for our weekly bulletin, including ministry updates, community events, and special celebrations. Submit here by Wednesday at noon to be included in the upcoming Sabbath bulletin (space permitting).
I almost always have a water bottle with me, usually my favourite white Owala with a shiny Burman sticker. It’s my favourite because I can snap the lid closed, throw it in my bag and not give it a second thought. It will stay sealed and never leak. Ever.
Last week, we were headed to Calgary. I took my water bottle all apart, scrubbed it nicely, filled it up, and threw it in my bag, along with my makeup pouch, my journal, my sudoku book, and my book of the week.
During the drive, I noticed that my makeup bag was wet. I didn’t think much of it; it could have been melted snow or something. Then I pulled out my water bottle to drink, and it was only half full. With dread, I looked back in my bag, and all three of my books were drenched. It wasn’t ideal, but thankfully, it’s only water. It didn’t get sticky. My books and journal have recovered well, despite the telltale wrinkles from a little bath.
This Sabbath, I grabbed the same bottle again, threw it in my bag along with my iPad. Fortunately, I caught the leak much faster this time, and it faired well aside from some droplets on its surface.
Was this the end of the road for my water bottle? How could this trusted brand fail? It was so reliable! When I investigated the lid, I finally realized a piece was missing. Jr found it, a small, seemingly unimportant grey piece of rubber. When he put it back where it belonged, my trusty bottle was as good as new. Not one drop was lost.
I wonder how often that happens to me? I’ve neglected some small thing in my life, and the impact is massive. I end up leaking everywhere, and there’s a mess.
What might have seemed a small thing has a significant impact on my life. How about you, friend? Could it be that even a few moments in personal connection time with God makes all the difference? Or can a 15-minute walk change how you feel during a stressful day? Or even a few, undistracted minutes with a loved one can make a huge difference in how connected you feel.
What small thing is actually a big thing in your life? Has it gotten forgotten? How can you put this small piece back to rights?
~ from Pastor Massiel’s heart
