Super WOW experience - You should have . . .

Last night, April 29, was one very fun, fuel-filling experience! Laura and I had a great time! Weren't there? What did you miss?

• Tom & Angela Taylor sharing a 4.5 min. story of how they recovered from a near death experience (being part of "Religion" far too long)! They also shared how they met when Angie was only 12 years old (very funny stuff).
• 17 year old worship leader Adam O. sharing his brief life history of being a pyromaniac; and how music has run in his blood from early childhood! LOL! WHAT A COOL KID!
• Kasey Butler shared how his business and personal life have been supercharged by his involvement in Living Hope East (it was very cool - Thurs. business lunch at E Van going strong).
• Not to be left out, Michael and Rhonda gave one of the most powerful, funny, and inspiring 4 min "real life stories" I've heard in some time. They got a "Blazers kind of ovation."

Twenty seven of us were gathered for our first ever Experiencing Living Hope mid-week experience. We shared some of the dreams of our new East Vancouver campus and refreshed on why Living Hope only focuses on "four chairs." Beside the handouts, great food, and table sharing, we finally chased off the last couple at 10:15 p.m. (We actually had our closing prayer at 8:39 - it's so cool seeing people stick around and not want to go home).

Experiencing Living Hope is a very wonderful way to refocus, refresh, and relax with great friends (and find new ones too). We'll do it again in about 6 months; count on it.

Way too much fun!

Friday Night at the Movies - Last Fri of the month

Friday, April 24, 6:30 p.m. - East Vancouver Living Hope Movie Night

For our first movie we have chosen a powerful film that many people haven't seen. It's gotten great reviews from teens and parents. "This movie" says Bruce Avery "is so powerful you will likely buy it for your collection." The Brownlee family have had lots of laughs; just ask them and tell you how hard it was to get Bruce to actually watch this film . . . but once he did Bruce has shown it to a lot of friends.

The Avery boys, Gordon (24) and Marcus (21) agree that this is a powerful film that leaves its mark. Come join us for fun and relaxation at our new campus. Don't let the "Hallmark like" cover fool you, this movie has something for everyone. Bring a friend, we'll provide the popcorn.

Never bored again!

We are responding to the amazing turnout at Living Hope this last weekend, over 10,000 people visiting all our campuses! We had over 400 at our East Vancouver campus. We are responding by deciding to hold two services from this weekend (April 19) onward!

Here's how you can get involved:

This Saturday: Clean, help finish projects (a whole bunch of fun left) from 2 p.m. until we all go home (painting, spraying fire retardant, cleaning, sorting storage items, more painting, carpentry work (experienced guys & gals needed), vacuuming (no ironing) and much more . . . see you soon!

This Sunday: We are in need of extra hands at both services: In Kid's World we could use help checking kids in and in our toddler's room. In the auditorium we need ushers for offerings at the 11 a.m. service and people to help cleaning up between the 9 & 11. We are in need of help after the 11 a.m. service with stacking some chairs and clean-up. There are other areas you can serve in so please show up with your best smile!

Only God! It will be one amazing weekend.
