• if you need directions call Miika 778-855-2751
• bring some snacks with you!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a prayer to keep our hearts in tune with God during the hubris of Olympics...

I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked God for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise.

I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing I asked for but everything I had hoped for....

Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered. I am among all men most richly blessed.

Go Karting!

We've had the privilege of having Mikko from Finland here with us for some time. His 6month time in Canada is coming to a close and it would be great to do something memorable with him before he leaves.

So here is the plan...

This Friday let's go Karting!

7pm meet at TBC indoor Karting in 2100 Viceroy Place, Richmond.

20$ for 1st race, 11$ for second, but...

You can get 2nd race for free with a student ID!!!

We'll go afterwards to grab something to eat.

Sunday Communion Meal 11-1pm

Next Friday we have been planning to meet up at Daniel and Jenni's place to watch some of the opening ceremony together and have time of fellowship and fun!

see y'all on Friday,
