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 .
