Happy Anniversary!
Those words, cheerfully proclaimed, affirm the inevitable passing of time: a mystery we are bound by, over which God is transcendent, and into which He lovingly brings His will and works. Some anniversaries commemorate events we gladly celebrate again and again. Some acknowledge life changes including loss, pain and challenge. It is good and healthy to pause, reflect and join together to re-member life’ s ups and downs. It is even better to do so within the context of how our Heavenly Father demonstrates His love for us moment after moment … through people He sent and circumstances He was involved in, whether we saw it at the time or not.
Alpine belongs to Jesus. Through it, He has provided more mountaintop encounters with grace and truth than we can shake a pine-tree-stick at. Once again it is time to re-join and celebrate our good, good Father and all his Son and Spirit have done in the lives of countless people
THOUGHTS
( You might say it will be a Lost and Found Celebration!).
Alpine will be hosting a 60th Anniversary Reunion during the weekend of September 15-17, 2017. It will be a weekend of celebration, stories, worship, teaching, family, fun, friends, games and goodies( maybe even Gorp). Since God has been faithful through the ups and downs of Alpine’ s last 60 years, the Alpine Board has decided to offer this Anniversary Reunion free of fees. It seemed good and right to trust in God’ s provision while we celebrate His faithfulness.
You are encouraged to regularly visit www. alpine-cc. org for registration and program information. On the Home Page, look for a button that says: 60th Anniversary Reunion. Click on that button and it will take you to the Reunion page. If you are interested in helping with the planning for and running of the Reunion in any way, please contact laurie @ alpine-cc. org.
