It's a party

Hello all,

It's been a great week so far for me... even though it's rainy outside almost everyday, it's still nice to be back home! Hope you all are having a great week so far and that you can make it out this Friday night at 6:30pm to Natalie's place in Whiterock. We are going to be celebrating those who graduated this year and of course to celebrate the Tedder family for all the great stuff they did with our group. So come on out and join us! It's going to be fun!... and oh yeah Natalie said to bring swimsuits and towels cause the sauna is hot and the pool is heated! If you don't know how to get there give me a call at 604-223-4490, or of course you can call Natalie too.

So last week we met up at Miika and Marja's place and just to recap what we talked about for those who weren't there, we discussed Mark 4, the parable of the sower. Take a moment to read through verses 1-8 and then 13-20. We talked about the different kind of soils that the seed is sown in and what those could be in our daily lives. A lot of us could identify with and relate to the seed among the thorns and how the things of our daily lives can choke our relationship with Jesus. Take a moment and reflect on your own life and think about the upcoming year and what kind of soil you can relate to.

It's really exciting to be working at the church this summer for me and to spend time with you guys. Liisa and I really missed the whole group! This Friday let's also take a look at what weekend we could go check out Mars Hill Church to hear Mark Driscoll speak, so take a look at your calendars for this month, early July, and possibly August as well. Look forward to seeing you guys, and remember Jesus walks with you every step, how cool is that!?!

So to recap:

So young adults: Natalie's place, Whiterock at 6:30pm
Sunday morning: 11:00am, communion meal.

**PS: as Sam kindly reminded us in the comments section, it's a potluck, so please bring something to eat or snack on. Thanks!**
