May Connected Night

Hello all,

It was a nice way to end our Friday night young adults group last week at Natalie's place. Thank you everyone for the wonderful memories and loving words, and thanks again Natalie for hosting us. This group has been a blessing to all our lives for many years, and will continue to be as we shift into more of a home group type.

On to this weeks business. Connected Night is happening this Friday at the church @ 7:00pm. Kids' program will be starting at 7:15pm and as always we could use a hand with helping out. This will be our last Connected Night as we head into the summer and will be restarting again in the fall time. So come on out to make it a big and special Connected Night.

Sunday morning service is @ 11:15am, also don't forget we will start off with a special general meeting regarding our new senior pastor. If you are an official member of the church you also have the right to cast a vote for electing the new senior pastor. If you are not an official member you are still very welcome to attend the meeting and get info on what is happening and who this family is.

Have a blessed week everyone,
Jarno, Liisa, and Nansku

Ended it off with a bang

Hey everyone,

So as many of you have heard our young adults ccg is coming to an end. The group will be morphing into a small group style that will be run by the attending members on a rotation. The reason for this is that we will be launching a youth group that will take over the weekly Friday nights.

So we will be having a celebration at Natalie's place to close this chapter off. This Friday night at 7:30pm be there or be square. Bring something to eat or drink to share with everyone and we will have a great time reminiscing about the many years behind us.

Also if you guys have some favourite photos from the years past send them my way... I will put together a  slide show of all the pics I receive so we can all look through them together. So please email me pictures so this can happen. =)

And then of course Sunday morning we are having our service at 11:15am. See you there.

God bless,
Jarno, Liisa, and Nansku

Car Wash Fundraiser

Hey everyone,

The sun is shining! The sun is shining! It actually is shining and for longer than a day. :) Wow, it's so nice to have some nice weather and not have it rain almost everyday. I must say I was getting a little down with the weather. So now that the sun is shining let's move on to our plans for young adults this week.

We will be having our first car wash fundraiser for kid's camp this Saturday at the church. Please arrive around the 10:30am mark and we will get started with washing. We will also have the BBQ set up for selling hotdogs to people when they stop so hotdogs are provided for you as well for lunch. We will not be going for the whole day so we'll be shutting it down sometime in the afternoon.

Hope to see a good amount of us out this Saturday, the funds are really needed to help with keeping the costs down for families for camp, and since we're at Loon Lake which brings our costs significantly higher than last years summer camp.

Also Sunday morning service at the church starts @ 11:15am. Join us for mother's day, we'll have some coffee and other things out before the service and also the kids' have a performance for the mothers before the service. So head over for at 11:00am to take part in the mother's day program.

See you Saturday,
Jarno, Liisa, and Nansku

Kinect Champion II


Hey everyone,

How's everyone's week been so far? Exams probably going on and all that fun and good stuff. ;)
The weathers sure been a bit of a downer this week. Keeping me indoors and what not. But I thought that since people have exams and weather isn't that great we would have our Kinect Championships II this Friday to help lighten the weeks burdens. We did this last summer and it was a lot of fun. So who's down?

We would have all you guys over at our place for 7:30pm and we'll have random pairings and events drawn from a hat and then go head to head in competition to see who this years champion will be. Last year I believe it was Joshua Milke. There will be great prizes again for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. So come on out and bring something good to eat to share with everyone. Please let me know in the comments section if you can make it so that I can organize things bestest. Thanks everyone.

Sunday morning service at 19Twenty Church starts at 11:15am. Come on out to see what God is doing and to praise our saviour and Lord together.

Blessings everyone,
Jarno, Liisa, and Nansku

Let the playoffs begin


Hey everyone,

Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. It's always great to reflect on the defining events that are central to our Christian faith. Jesus the Son of God and His sacrifice for the whole world's sin. Without Jesus' atoning death we would be pretty hopelessly lost. Praise God for His mercy and grace.

This Friday we will be meeting at Daniel and Jenni's place. The playoffs are kicking off this week and game #2 lands on Friday. So we'll get together for the game and spend time in fellowship also at the Ojanen's place. Be there latest by 7:30pm. Don't forget to bring some snacks or other goodies to share with everyone. ;)

Sunday morning service is @ 11:15am. We have a guest speaker this Sunday so come on out.

Blessed week everyone,
Jarno

Good Friday


Hello everyone,

This weekend is Easter weekend, as I'm sure you guys are all aware of, and young adults is on Good Friday. We will be gathering at our place, Jarno and Liisa's, to reflect and remember what Jesus has done for each and everyone of us on the cross. We'll go through some scripture, discuss, and pray. So that's this Friday night at 7:30pm at our place in S. Burnaby.

Sunday Easter service is at 11:15am and we will have a service first and then move to the dining area to have lunch and take communion together after the service. Come on out to gather as the body of Christ to praise and worship our Lord.

Blessings,
Jarno, Liisa, and Nansku
