Fall Fest Connected Night

Hello everyone,

Wow, well the fall weather is officially here... it has been pouring buckets of rain and strong gusts wind. Makes you not want to leave the house or set foot outside. It's those perfect days to spend inside all cozy and warm wrapped up in a blanket, that is if you have the day off.

Last Friday's meeting was just great! It was awesome to pray for each other and bless each, and it was awesome to have the Holy Spirit touch each one of us! Man God is just fantastic... and it is so vital that we commit our lives wholeheartedly for Jesus. That we remember to put Him first before anything else in our lives; that we work and labor to further the cause of the Kingdom of God here on Earth.

So this Friday we are having our Fall Fest Costume Themed Connected Night at the church @ 7:00pm. There will be a prize for the best adult costume and a few for the best child's costume. We are also having a skavenger hunt/station event for the kids, with pumpkin carving at the end. So we really need a hand in helping to setup and run this thing. Please let us know if you are able to come and help, and if you are able to come early to the church to setup as well. Thanks guys!

This Sunday morning service @ 11:15am, we see you there also.

Blessings,
Jarno and Liisa

PS: Remember to pray for our group and our church during this week.

New place to pray

Hi guys,

Hope everyone is enjoying the month of October so far... I just love this stage in the fall season when we have crisp sunny days and the leaves are falling, and all the colors... it's simply awesome. Last week's Bible Study was great, thanks so much Nina for taking us through Romans 4. It was great to examine salvation and faith deeper, and it really sparked a good conversation. Also thanks Sam for leading us through a couple of songs.

So this Friday we're going to be meeting up at our new place in Burnaby @ 7:30pm. The address is 4892 Carson Place, Burnaby V5J2Y5. Our sweet entrance is from the left side of the house through the gate into the backyard and the door at the back of the house. We going to have a night emphasized on spiritual growth through the word, song, and prayer. If you need a ride or have any questions just give Liisa or myself a call. Also feel free to bring any snacks or refreshments.

We also have a costumed themed Connected Night coming up on Oct. 29th @ 7pm and are really focusing on a kid's program, so we need help, let me know asap if you are willing and able to help. Also there will be a prize for the best dressed up adult as well so dress up appropriately of course. ;)

This Sunday morning service @ 11:15pm. So come on out to worship God together.

PS: If you still want tickets to that Passion concert happening on Nov. 5th let me know asap.

Blessings,
Jarno and Liisa

Out to Langley We Go

Hi Everyone,

Hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and stuffed yourselves with turkey over the weekend. We have so much to be thankful for in our lives and sometimes we just get so used to all the good things that we start to take them for granted. Thanksgiving is always a good time to reflect on what God has blessed us with and all the grace that He lavishes upon us everyday.

Thanks again to all of you for helping out in the kitchen on Sunday for the Thanksgiving lunch... it was a great meal! Friday night at Daniel and Jenni's was great, Daniel had a great Bible Study prepared for us on the first chapter of John. It was really interesting to study closer on how John introduces Jesus in his book.

So this Friday we are meeting up at Nina's place in Langley @ 7:30pm and Nina will be leading us in our next session of Bible Study by Members. I'm looking forward to it! It's awesome to see how you guys are taking up the challenge to prepare a Bible study, it's a very rewarding experience for your own spiritual growth and encourage everyone to try it out.

Also there is the Passion World Tour coming to Vancouver on November 5, 2010. If you want to go with us let me know. I can get tickets for us. Check it out: http://www.268generation.com/wt2010/new/#/vancouver

Also 19twenty Church service this Sunday @ 11:15am. Sermon topic will be on James 3. Come on out! See you guys on Friday.

PS: if you need a ride contact Liisa or me.

Blessings,
Jarno and Liisa

Thanksgiving Weekend

Hello,

Man what a great weekend. Friday night's Connected Night went really well, it was so great to see so many people out and just having a great time together. Thanks again to all the people who helped out with the kid's program, it was great!

So for this week we are going to be meeting up at Daniel and Jenni's place at 7:30pm. We are continuing with our Bible Study by Members program and Daniel will be leading us through some scripture. If you need a ride please contact either Liisa or myself.

Hope you all are having a wonderful week. Liisa and I are finally moving to our new place this week in Burnaby. I spent the weekend with Tim and Niko painting pretty much the whole place and got most of it done. We're looking forward to being able to have you guys over at our place soon too.

This Sunday we have a joint Thanksgiving service at 11:00am, followed by lunch in the fellowship hall. We need help in the kitchen, so let me know if you haven't already whether you can help. Thanks guys.

Be blessed,
Jarno and Liisa
