St. Albert Alliance Church

Eight weeks ago, we embarked on an experiment to ask the Spirit to identify five people in our lives who we would B.L.E.S.S. How has our experiment been going in your life? Have you practiced the everyday rhythms of “Beginning with prayer,” “Listening with care,” “Eating together,” “Serving with love,” and “Sharing your story” with the people the Spirit has led you to? As we wrap up our series, Ev...

As we’ve gone through our series, Everyday Rhythms, have you wondered, how am I going to begin to live this out? Do you wish you had the 'secret sauce’ to just make it happen? Join us as we dive into the not-so-secret sauce to B.L.E.S.S.-ing, take a look at what it looked like for the early church in Acts, and live it out in our day-to-day lives. Missed a sermon?

Welcome to the St. Albert Alliance Church Digital Gathering! What is the first thing you do when you meet someone? When I meet someone for the first time, I begin to ask them questions: Where do you live? Where are you from? What do you do for a living? What do you like to do? Do you know…? I ask these questions because I want to learn about the person I’m talking to. I want to hear their story. D...

As you think about the people who Jesus has called you to go and BLESS, what does it mean to serve them with love? Often, we’re really good at serving people in one particular way or in a way that we love to be served. To serve with love is to serve people at their point of need. Join us as we discuss what it means to serve with love, discern the point of need of the people around us, and begin to...

What would it look like for you to intentionally schedule one meal a week with someone in your life who is close to you but far from God? Join us as we continue our series, Everyday Rhythms, talk about the "E" practice in the word BLESS, and learn one of the most available missional tools we have to help introduce others to Jesus.

Someone once said, “Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.” I think the person who spoke those words learned what Jesus knew a long time ago and modelled so well in the Gospels: when you listen, you care. Jesus listened to a man who would only speak to him under the cover of darkness (John 3). Jesus listened to a woman at a well in th...

When we think about how to most effectively support, encourage, or bless someone, we often think of things we can do for them directly, but what if one of the most significant things we could do to bless someone else came through more indirect means? Join us as we continue in our Everyday Rhythms Series and look at how beginning with prayer is the most significant thing we can do as we seek to ble...

Many of us have a rhythm to our day, a set of activities and an order of things we do every day - from brushing our teeth or having that first cup of coffee to watching Jimmy Fallon or reading a book before we fall asleep. We all have things we do every day; we all have a rhythm to our day. This weekend, we are starting a new series, Everyday Rhythms, and we’ll be exploring 5 simple changes you ca...

Have you ever wished you could start something over? Did you know that Easter is all about new beginnings?

Join us this weekend and experience the new begi...

Welcome to the St. Albert Alliance Church Digital Gathering! "Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down." (Isaiah 53:4) Join us for our special Good Friday service as we reflect on Christ's sacrifice on the cross and what it means for us.

Have you ever received an invitation? What did you do with that invitation? Have you ever ignored an invitation or said yes to an invitation but then not shown up? This week, as we continue our Deconstructing Faith series, Pastor Kirk will explore the invitation of salvation by looking at a story Jesus told to a group of people. Join us as we explore Matthew 22:1-14 and learn about an invitation w...

As we continue our series, Deconstructing Faith, we will be looking at a topic that can quickly trip up many people, causing their walk with Jesus to become rigid and unloving or lead them away from their faith altogether. This topic is sin. We may often ask, is _____ a sin? If so, what’s the problem? Well, what is sin, and how do you define it? Join us as Pastor Josh defines sin, and we look at t...

This weekend, as we continue our Deconstructing Faith series, we will look at one primary issue that prompts people to deconstruct their faith—sexuality. Sexuality is a deeply personal matter, and it is something Jesus cares deeply about. This weekend, Pastor Kirk will lead us as we look at what Jesus has to say about our sexuality so that we can understand why our sex lives matter to Jesus. We ho...

We live in a culture that prides itself on individual achievement and self-reliance. This idea has permeated how we look at faith and following Jesus and has been more about the individual, than a community joined together. We've seen community as something that might be nice to have but not a necessity, so it's easy to see how many would question why we need the Church. Join us as we dive into th...

All of us long for genuine joy and fulfilment in our life, don’t we? We look for ways to increase our sense of meaning and significance and often are left disappointed in things we felt so hopeful would meet our needs. Join us as we look at the claims Jesus makes - that He Himself, and in choosing to live His way, is the way to experience true and abundant life.   Missed a sermon? Listen to our se...

This weekend, as we continue to reflect deeply on the beliefs that make up our faith, join us as we begin to explore who God is.

With so much pain and suffering in our world, it can be hard to find joy during the Christmas season. Whether this time of year is a reminder of personal loss, you have fractured relationships, or you just turned on the news, sorrow can overshadow even the brightest days. But what if the coming of Jesus invites us to hold our pain and joy in the same hand, so that we can rejoice with those who rej...
