January Connected Night

Hello all,

Last week was great, we met up at Nina's new place in Langley... I must say they have a nice new home! Thanks again to the Heiskanens for having us over. We had a good time hanging out and we took a quick recap of ski camp and then went into a discussion about making disciples, in other words evangelism. I was also the only male at Nina's place so men... step it up. ;)

This Friday we are having our January Connected Night here at the church staring @ 7:00pm. Come on out to spend time in fellowship with the rest of the church, and as always there is a kid's program starting at 7:10pm; we are always in need of volunteer help for that so if you have it on your heart we appreciate your help.

Sunday morning service is @ 11:15am as usual, so come on out. It's exciting times, God is really moving in the church and things are happening... praise the Lord!!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far, and if you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to post in the comments section. Thanks.

Blessings,

Jarno, Liisa, and Natalia

Out to Langley for a skate

Hey everyone,

So looks like winter weather has finally hit us here in the lower mainland... about time. I just wish we actually saw more snow on this side of the bridge, we'll see.

Anyways this Friday we are heading out to Langley to get together at Nina's place for 7:30pm. Nina has moved so if you do not know where her new place is either contact Nina or myself for the address. We'll take a look at some scripture, discuss, and spend time in prayer besides the usual hanging out and having a good time. Bring something to snack on for everyone if you can. =)

Then later in the night Sam has invited us all out to go ice skating at the Langley Sportsplex arena. Admission is free but if you need to rent it will be $5. There will be food and other things going on as well. This all starts at 10:30pm at the arena. I going to have to dig up my skates and see if they still fit... keeping my fingers crossed.

Sunday morning church is at 11:15am as usual. So see you there as well.

If you have any questions or need a ride or something please contact me. Thanks everyone.

Blessings,

Jarno, Liisa, and Natalia

Back to the Norm

Hey guys,

Ski camp 2012 has come and gone... and I must say I had a great time!! Thanks everyone for coming and I feel so blessed to have been able to spend the weekend with everyone and share awesome moments in discussion, teaching, prayer, and just hanging out and having a good time. As I promised here are the links to the 2 videos we talked about.

http://www.godtube.com/watch/?v=K6LDDWNX (this is the one of Ben Breedlove)

http://www.godtube.com/watch/?v=KGGKYGNX (this is his sister sharing @ his funeral)

It's now back to the norm of things. The holidays have come and gone... the new year is here and school and work schedules are in full swing again. Life as we know it... but remember what we talked about during ski camp about being an everyday disciple and what that means. Living life with Jesus. God bless you all in 2012 and all the days to come.

So this Friday we'll take a break from the norm of having a discussion/teaching meeting to a more relaxed outing type of get together. How does a movie night sound? Who's in and what do people want to see? I wouldn't mind seeing Warhorse (78% rating on Rotten Tomatoes) since most people have probably seen TinTin, Sherlock Holmes, and Mission Impossible(I've seen this one). Or then the other choice since everyone had a spending heavy weekend we could get together at someone's house to watch a film. What do you guys think? Post in the comments section and let's get this thing on the move.

Blessings all,

Jarno, Liisa, and Natalia.

Ski Camp 2012

Hello all,

Happy new year to everyone! It's 2012 and the we're all still here, so on with life we go.

This weekend as most of you already know is our Whistler Ski Camp 2012 trip. We will be leaving this Friday and coming back on Sunday. Our accommodations will be near the lower part of the village at Whistler Creekside. Room is limited and we are almost at max capacity already, but if you haven't let me know that you are interested yet, do so and I'll see if we can squeeze you in. The cost for the weekend will be $50 and that includes food, gas, and of course the accommodation for the weekend, note that if you plan on skiing a lift ticket is not included in this weekend cost. Also we need people to drive up so we can fit everyone into a car, so far myself and Sam are driving so if you are able to drive let me know asap... like today. =)

Other than all this what you NEED to bring is sleeping bag/blanket, pillow, air mattress/foamy(there won't be a bed for everyone), and towel. So I hope your as excited for this weekend as I am, it's going to be great to spend time with God as group this weekend and to be up enjoying the playground of Whistler. If you are interested in coming please post in the comments section and I will be in contact. Thanks everyone and if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

Laters,

Jarno
