6. Church Board decisions from June 13th 5 independent quotes were considered from different roofing companies. One company quote was dismissed as they are distributors of IKO shingles only, and their selection of installers is uncertain (their price range was not the lowest either). All other companies considered installing the best quality shingles, either GAF Timberline or Certainteed Landmark formerly known as “40-year,” and from January 2011 offering the Lifetime Warranty by manufacturer. The company selected offers 24 hours response during the first year, above manufacturers warranty, and 10 year workmanship warranty. Following prices were considered (including GST): $42,459; $39,900; $32,770; $ 31,301 and $27,644. The Board recommends the contract to Artech Homes at $27,644, pending the response from the church membership. Please speak to Gene Bernardo if you have any questions, to elders, or to pastor Golovenko. If no objections are raised the Board will formalize the contact with Artech Homes by July 5, 2011.

It will also be an opportunity to ask questions about the Adventurer Program and be the first to register your children for the Program commencing in September. Since we are celebrating summer is finally upon us, it will be a salad, sandwiches and dessert potluck. Please feel free to bring one of these items to the potluck.

8. Next Baptismal service is planned for July 16. If you are interested in making the commitment to Christ, speak with pastor Golovenko about preparation.

9. Thank you for your financial support! With the generous donation of $2,400 from the Quiet Hour through Director Roy West, and your personal donations, the school has received $5,000 for the new curriculum books “Pathways.” The new curriculum says “We want Thinkers!” Reflecting on words of Ellen G. White “The work of true education is to train youth to be thinkers and not mere reflectors of other men’s thoughts.” Someone said “tell a child WHAT to think and you make him a slave of your knowledge. Tell a child how to think and you made knowledge his servant.” Adventist Christian Elementary School starts early registration for the next school year on June 23!

10. LACA Graduation at our Church, next Sunday, June 26 at 5 pm. Michael Golovenko, valedictorian.

Pastor’s Blog. On Father’s Day

I’ve heard the history of mother’s day many a times and never bother to check on the history of the Father’s Day. My generation grew up with it just being there, in the middle of June, a month after Mother’s Day. So, when I checked the Wikipedia, I was surprised that it took some 40 years for the day to be recognized. In 1957, a female went “to bat” for men! Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honouring mothers, thus "[singling] out just one of our two parents." But it took another decade, when in 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honouring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Six more years and the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972. So, it’s the 39th anniversary of the official Father’s Day.

As we pose to think and honour our fathers, let me ask: what do you remember your father say to you?

what part of NO don’t you understand? I am not just talking to hear my own voice! I’ll tell you WHY! Because I said so, that’s WHY! Don’t make me stop this car!!! You call that music? Turn that down! This is gonna hurt me a lot more than it’s going to hurt you No, we are not lost. In my day, when I was your age, I......

The list will go on to infinity! I reflect on this as we read the “Wild at heart” book at men’s ministry breakfasts (by John Elderedge). Did your father initiate you into life so you’d know where you’ve come from, what are you here for and where you are going? Some have missed that from their fathers. Other’s had been spoiled by enabling fathers who did everything for them. Some had been blessed by supportive fathers.

Hopefully you have a different list: That’s my boy! You’ll get it next time! Real proud of you! You’re THE MAN! Try it again, and let me help you! Let’s do it together!

And there is One Father whose Voice still sounds today, who knows your situation and wants to initiate you with His Grace. Do you know Him, the Heavenly Father? For it is only He who could give you the real name, the true identity, purpose, meaning and strength to carry on in life. How’s your relationships with Him?

In service of the Great Shepherd, pastor Alex Golovenko
