Heritage Valley Assembly is a place to explore and experience the love found in Christ. If you're not sure you believe in God at all, you're welcome here. If you've been following God your entire life or if you're new to faith, we hope you'll grow here.
No matter where you are on the road to faith, we are here to walk alongside you as you go. Our wish is that on your journey, you'll discover a God who is loving, active and causing you to flourish in all that you do.

November 28th is the start of Advent!
The word, 'Advent' comes from the Latin word 'adventus' which means 'coming' or 'arrival'. It's a season of preparation, not for extra expenses or family gatherings, but to remember the Christ Child who came to live among us, to secure one redemption. It is time to praise and cherish God's most precious gift to us. Advent is also the anticipation of Christ's return at the Second Coming. When we celebrate the birth of our Saviour, we're honouring the sacrifice He made for us too. Gathering around the manager is only part of it. We also need to journey to the cross.
So while we might get swept up in all the hurried activity of the Christmas Season, may we be intentional this year to take time during Advent to prepare our hearts. May we remember that God laid aside His glory to become human because of His great love for us, and He will also return one day to restore glory to His people. There are few truths in this world that can be more wonderful, more exciting than this.

PASTORAL HELLO
***********************************************************************************************
September 16, 2021
With the implementation announced by the Alberta Government of new health restrictions beginning Friday, September 16, 2021. There were two options given to Places of Worship:
#1. Requiring proof of vaccination or negative rapid test to continue operating as usual
OR
#2. Follow capacity and operating restrictions; 1/3 of fire code capacity.
As leadership, it was decided that we will follow option #2. The implications for the Sunday morning worship gatherings for the foreseeable future will limit us to cap the attendance to 74, (1/3 of the capacity of Stencel Hall at Taylor Seminary), where we meet.
The attendance on Sunday mornings have been well under this number in recent months so we expect to continue on as we have been. We will begin taking names and contact information again at the table outside of the sanctuary to track attendance for COVID reasons.
As the attendance cap is set at 74 for Stencel Hall, we also expect the Ordination Service for Pastor Matthew on Sunday Morning, September 26 and the Annual Business Meeting to go ahead as per usual, at 12 noon (following the morning service), as planned.
Of course the other health guidelines will continue to be observed and practiced: hand sanitization, mask wearing, ensuring 6 ft distance between households or 2 close contacts for those living alone.
If you have any further questions, please contact Janice at heritageva@gmail.com or call/text 780 699 6315.
God bless each and every one of you!
Pastor Larry
