Fund Raiser

Good day everyone,

Got to love Vancouver in the summer! It's been just the perfect temperature over the weekend, hot in the sun, but cool in the shade.. that's what I'm talking about. So I hope everyone is doing well and that you're all having a good summer. Last Friday was awesome, we got some signs made for the car wash coming up this Saturday, ate some pizza, and walked around the neighborhood praying for the community. The prayer walk was definitely the highlight, it was wonderful to really feel the Holy Spirit leading us in prayer and knowing that our prayers were effective. We really felt that the community around the church is in need of God. We walked to the schools around the community, the different churches, and the boys and girls club, and stopped to pray at each. We felt that this was powerful and we want to continue to do these prayer walks... who knows what doors God will open. I encourage you all to come out for our next prayer walk and start putting your faith into action, and start to impact the community.

So this Saturday, July 24th, we are having our car wash & BBQ fundraiser for the summer Kid's Camp. We need all the help we can get so try and make it out. We will be meeting at the church around 10:00am to set up, and start washing cars around 11:00am. It will be fun times in the sun for a good cause. Looking forward to seeing you all.

Also this Sunday morning service at 11:00am, be there. ;)

Blessings,

Walking and Praying

Hello guys,

Hope you guys are all having a wonderful week and been outside enjoying the sunshine and warm weather. It's so great that summer is here, such a happy time.

So this Friday we are going to be getting ready for our Kid's Summer Camp Fundraiser coming up next Saturday, July the 24th. We will be meeting at the church, yes I said it, at the church around 7:30pm to start making the signs that are needed.

Also we are going to do a prayer walk around the neighborhood of the church and just pray at various spots for the people living around the church. We can split up into a couple of groups depending on how many people come and take different areas. Don't worry you aren't going to have to approach people to pray for them or anything, but we are just going to pray within our group for the different areas. Prayer is a powerful thing and it is where things start from. If you look at any major revival or movement of God it has always started with prayer. So come on out and be a prayer warrior this Friday.

We will also order pizza and eat together, and just hang out and have a good time. Hope you guys can come out and help with the preparations for the fundraiser and also start impacting the community around the church with prayer.

Also Sunday morning service this Sunday at 11:00a.m. and I will be preaching on God's grace. Hope you decide to come out this Sunday to have a listen.

Many blessings,
Jarno and Liisa

Let's Take a Hike

Hi people,

Man last week was a good week. We had an awesome time last Friday at Nina's place spent in prayer, worship, and conversation.. I really felt that God was there and His Holy Spirit was moving, it's fantastic to share these moments with you guys and to know that God is real and always present in our lives. Also our church picnic was fun, we had a lot of people come out and thanks for all you who could make it!

So this week it looks like it's going to be a warm one, today has been simply beautiful so far and I am looking forward to the rest of the week. So I thought we could enjoy God's creation and go for a hike on Saturday July 10th and pack some food with us and eat together as well. What do you guys think? Who's up for it? I was thinking either the Alouette Lake area in Maple Ridge or then North Vancouver Deep Cove area? Any other places you guys would like to check out? Let me know what you guys think and who can make it.

Also Sunday we have our communion meal together at 11:00am, so come on out for that. Niko will be sharing a message so come and show your support. =)

Oh yeah before I forget, we are planning on doing a fund raiser for kid's camp on July 24th. We are going to do a car wash and hot dog BBQ. Also we will have a baked goods sale at the same time. So mark it off on your calendars and come on out to help. Also if you want to help in the preps let me know.

As for Kid's Summer Camp if you know your schedule and want to be a counselor let me know ASAP. It's happening from August 22nd to 27th.

Enjoy the sunshine,
Jarno and Liisa
