💙 Happy Labour Day!

Today we recognize and celebrate the contributions of workers who help strengthen our communities each and every day.

Labour Day is an opportunity to give thanks for the gifts, talents, and dedication of those who serve others through their work. May we also remember those seeking employment, experiencing difficult working conditions, or striving for fair and safe workplaces.

Wishing everyone a safe, restful, and happy Labour Day!

📚 Tools 4 Schools is Back! ✏️

As families begin preparing for a new school year, the rising cost of school supplies continues to place a strain on many household budgets. Together, we can help ensure every student in Drayton Valley has the tools they need to succeed.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, last year's Tools 4 Schools campaign made a meaningful difference for students, families, and teachers throughout Drayton Valley.

Again this year, we will:
• Work with each local school to identify their greatest needs.
• Provide supplies based on each school's grade-specific lists.
• Trust school staff to distribute supplies where they are needed most.
• Respect the anonymity of every recipient.
• Ensure careful stewardship of all donations.
• Provide tax receipts for eligible donations.

If you would like to support this year's campaign, donations can be mailed to:

Living Spirit United Church
P.O. Box 6822
Drayton Valley, AB T7A 1S2

Together, we can help every student start the school year with confidence.

🌿 Care of Creation Garden Tour 🌿

What a wonderful afternoon of beauty, fellowship, and learning!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year's Care of Creation Garden Tour. It was a joy to explore the unique gardens, spend time in community, and celebrate the many ways we can care for God's creation.

A special thank you to our generous gardeners for opening their beautiful spaces and sharing their passion with us. We were also grateful to welcome Abe Jansen, Alberta Representative for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, who shared how together we can help provide hope and food security to communities around the world.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and supported this event. Your participation helps make a difference both here at home and around the globe.
Enjoy a few highlights from this special day! 🌼🌻
