On our Art Wall

Our new Art exhibit will be a local artist, Philemon Reid (link). His art is currently being shown at the Aurora gallery in downtown Vancouver. Phil grew up with Cubism and fell in love with Picasso. From this he spent the last 50+ years developing his own style. He doesn't paint music, his art is music. All of his themes are jazz or blues.

Graduates, Woman golfers, Father's day

Let's start with Golf. So Laura can't hit her driver (she started lessons this past winter) & for her Birthday she got a Lady's Burner. Friday afternoon she did her Birthday by golfing with three guys she says she's nuts about (I get to be one of those guys!). Her first two drives she hit so far she was almost levitating (Gordon can do this trick . . . an amazing illusion) and all day she did so fantastic! You go East Van. LH Girl!

Graduates: We want to honor you at our East Van campus with a special gift (Proud parents, friends, and local sheriffs, please let us know who we can honor this next week at church). We want to invite you to either our 9 or 11 a.m. service. We do need an RSVP if possible. That's this next Sun., June 14.
